Back with Big News
It's been quite some time since I posted on here. It hasn't been for lack of interest. I wrote at least ten posts that have never made it onto here for varying reasons.

Lesson Learned From my Father

Just a Second
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. - Romans 8:18 1.5 seconds.

A Tale of Two Stories
It's an old adage that there are two sides to every coin. I would go a step beyond what that phrase implies to say there is one story but two narratives. There is the protagonist's take and the antagonist's take. If you want to be technical you could say there is a different narrative... Continue Reading →
