I rarely begin with a title of a blog or chapter. Sometimes I actually despise the entire concept of titles. One reason is that titles have always forced me into an uncomfortable and critical frenzy. Trying to come up with the most clever pun that is foreshadowing but not revealing. A few string of words [...]

That One Time I Almost Died
The title of this post says it all. I know that I do not write very often anymore, and I hope if you are reading this that you can still trust my words. Either way I have a story to share. One where the storm still rages on. I am actually afraid to type out [...]
Today, Tomorrow and the Next Day
My family's circumstance caved in a little more today. Our stability shook a bit again. But God is good. Still good. Today, tomorrow and every day thereafter. I do not have an entire blog to write about this, but I have the burning need to profess God's provision midst the depths of need. Tragedy, trauma [...]
Title
Today I am tired and I am in pain, but I am determined to write. I am determined to create something good. I am determined to be the king of my mood. So here is my first attempt at poetry in years: I am crushed, but I am not dust I am tossed aside but [...]
Nashville in the Rearview Mirror
The sad thing is because of the route we took I never got to have my moment looking in the rearview mirror to see the Nashville skyline shrink into the distance.

I’m Just a Dreamer
My life lesson speed has been set to overdrive for the last seven months. I have had more self-revelations than an infant who just discovered that they have hands.

It has been right around eleven months since I have posted on this blog. It has been over two years since I have felt capable of writing anything but garbage. Even now as my fingers are fumbling to find the correct keys to press, I feel inadequate to be writing anything let alone publishing it [...]
30 Days of Writing: Day Sixteen
Day 16. It seems everything has gotten in the way of me writing for thirty days straight. First my internet stopped working last week, then this weekend my charger stopped charging my laptop. Then as soon as I got that problem fixed I got violently sick. So much so that I am clenching my whole [...]
30 Days of Writing: Day Fourteen
Day 14. Well my laptop stopped working today am I had a lot that I wanted to write. There is only so much you can type on an iPhone but alas that is what I have to do. So I am asking now that you forgive the many spelling and grammar mistakes that are about [...]
30 Days of Writing: Day Thirteen
Day 13. Lucky number 13. I moved again today, from one house into another. This one is just a lay over until I move yet again. I am going to keep this post pretty short because I am exhausted and I think sleep would be better than me writing. I love writing. But I LOVE [...]
