I’ve been in Australia for a little over a week and I must say I find it amazing. I spent some time detailing my first days. I awoke early in the am to type the words into my pc, only to lose my thoughts to an incoherent mind fumbling to recover from jet lag. I [...]

My American doctor has chaos neatly alphabetized next to spring gardens and 12 tips for a better you.
He doesn’t tend scabbed knees for free: there is a world beneath his waiting room window that isn’t pretty.
There I see fear flickering in a child’s eyes and her mommy is shopping. Somewhere.
She can’t be far, her lopsided [...]

Lemony Snicket should be purchased and perused by audiences  of all ages:  that is to say, despite the gruesome awful and terrible events befalling the hapless children in this story, it was a completely charming, dry heavingly funny, oddly sad and amazingly disturbing tale.
I cheated on reading this book in that we acquired it on [...]

When I endeavored to begin a 500 book reading voyage, I asked friends and family for suggestions of “the most life altering books.” There were quite a few responses, but The Shack, written by William p. Young, was continually nominated so I grabbed a copy and dived right in.
The Shack is an engaging story that [...]

Grimy streets wheeze gray.
Dank corners speaking rough smells.
Breath deep, smell despair.

I’m ashamed to say that I’d never taken the time to read the 1987
Pulitzer prize winning play “Fences” by writer August Wilson.   I’ve really hurt myself by not
reading it, it is an enjoyable, informative and instructive play.
The play centers around Troy Maxson. He reminds me of the

It’s an unfathomable proposition, unfortunately exposing itself in gory detail.  The aftermath of the Haiti earthquake is an undeniable drama of epic proportions that has presented [...]

Rocked a new spoken word piece @Courageous Church today after 5+ years away this type of expression. Wrote a poem about it, wanna hear it? Here it goes.

It’s crazy how someone who has no idea who you are can share with you such personal highs and lows. I believe God’s creative love lives in these moments.

A couple of weeks back, the subject was dodged but I knew the topic was far from buried.  Sex. An interesting albeit over saturated topic in the adult world , is an intriguing, embarrassing, funny,  engrossing and disgusting conversation for an inquisitive 10 and a snickering soon-to-be 9 year old.

Bright futures covered;
What is there to be hidden;
Common sense fashion
Big trains, small windows
moving silently along
ancient dreams made real

One boat, many eyes
Black soil thick between brown toes
Dreaming of freedom
Inquisitive sun
Lonely smitten shadowy snow
Death inches onward
