Over the span of my life there have been twists and turns, ups and downs, and writing has always been a response to such changes. In moments of deep sadness and loss, I turned to writing essays as an outlet for my grief. And as time went on, the discipline of writing became an outlet for other things; joy, creativity, humor, faith.
My posts do not follow a regular schedule, and the content ranges from faith-based to personal and secular. They deal with everything from the smell of dirt, to peanuts in RC Cola, to sharing prayers with my dog, to love, and hearing the voice of God. You know, everything from all that other stuff called “life” to meditations on my journey of faith and belief.
Whether prompted by personal memories, readings, or just general reflections “big and small,” my writings seek to understand our human condition, and to raise questions that may stimulate your thinking. But I also hope they will always entertain.
