I’ve found that the above title has a knee-jerk response from most in Christian circles, and quite a different one from those who merely have a spectator view of the faith or none at all. I for one have always found that interesting to say the least. Grace Has Still Fallen on Hard Times Inside of …
The Search for Happiness Well for someone who had as their goal to “write one blog a week in 2018”, I have no doubt given “I suck” new meaning in terms of goal setting. In fact, it’s been almost two months now. And though I have a myriad of excuses the size of all my x’s …
The Move It was early October, when although watching the Weather Channel beforehand would have been enlightening to say the least, the Prince family actually loaded up the truck and moved just south of the “Red-Neck Riviera” to the lovely Surfside by the sea. Yes, that’s right. We moved smack dab in the midst of …
I Don’t Do Mondays There have been many songs, quotes, sayings and general universal disgruntlement lamenting the fate that is the “Monday” certainty in all of our lives.

And after all, the majority of this mind-blowing piece of scripture is perhaps the key to consistent navigation on the narrow path called the …
A Recurrent Theme Oh yeah I know, I know. The title at least got you to stop for just a second for a couple of reasons didn’t it? The number one reason is of course because you know me, and so you might be just a little worried as to whether or not I have …
Read more “Life Goes On Long After the Thrill of Living is Gone”
It’s been a few weeks since I’ve written last, and the time passage has been missed, at least by me. It has also brought with it a bewilderment of what to actually say worthy of your ear’s attention. Call it “writer’s block”, or chalk it up as “when you don’t use it you lose it”; …

It is one of those particular days when I’ve not much to write about specifically, other than about what I’m feeling at this very moment. I guess you could say that many times how deeply I feel about things in this life has plagued me somewhat, yet it’s the only thing that truly makes me …
