She seeks my eye, I am human but for a brief moment; her eyes force me to feel again, to feel her presence, I see her, staring, searching, hoping Judging not, her eyes reveal her sorrowful past, anguished, no words spoken Desperate, a homeless wanderer; The ache of her soul frightens me. She turns away; […]
Constantine and the Priests
This story is old, yet few know the tale, of the divinity of Christ and the day it began. Read to the end and surprised you may be for few know the way in which it all came to be. **************************************************************** The Emperor heard stories, of a prophet long gone, his followers still present, and their […]
Choice; It’s a Real Mixed Bag.
Look at your feet. Make a quick mental note of where you are at this minute. Where you are, didn’t happen by accident, your choices led you there. We make left and right turns all day long, we go, stop whatever. Yet somehow, you made it to your present spot. It is a miracle that […]
The Man who would be King
He did it again; such incredible hubris! I’m watching the evening news; the arrogance! How did we get here? I’ve never seen this before…but wait, I have; I’ve read about this in history books. I voted for him; we needed “a change”. I hear those words echoing, aching painfully throughout our world’s history; Out with […]

I don’t believe that positive words or statements solve problems, although they may bring a needed momentary distraction. A motivational speaker would hang himself in frustration trying to “lift me […]

Is the price of an opinion too high?
When someone offers an opinion, they are essentially “putting in their two-cents”. If someone wants to know what you think, they might say “a penny for your thoughts”. These idiomatic expressions both suggest that the value of an opinion isn’t worth much monetarily. I believe that the value is even less if that opinion is […]
