I love my children more than life. I'd do anything for them. When my little girl, Jess, was a baby she got a splinter in her foot. She didn't understand why I was "torturing" her but I was digging it out with a needle because I didn't want it to get infected. The pain I … Continue reading When You Feel Like God is Picking on You

Begin To See Your Own Beauty
“For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.” Audrey Hepburn This blog is going to be mainly for the sisterhood of humanity, as it seems many of them are more broken than the men, … Continue reading Begin To See Your Own Beauty
The Day I Became a Father
I was sick over the weekend, and meant to write this blog for Father’s Day, so forgive me for being one day late. The last few months of my wife, Laura’s, pregnancy with our baby girl, Jessica LeeAnne (now a beautiful, 30-year-old Registered Nurse, with two babies of her own), were pretty rough. Her due-date … Continue reading The Day I Became a Father
Surviving the Swamp of Sadness
There seems to be a great sadness creeping into this world. Dark clouds are moving in, and, for many, veiling the light of joy and hope. While many of my faithful readers know I'm a Christian, I'd like to state emphatically, this sadness may creep into anyone, no matter the religion, culture, race, sex or socioeconomic status. … Continue reading Surviving the Swamp of Sadness
I’m Angry Tonight
I shouldn't be angry, but I am. I try and talk myself out of it. "You have a great family," says I to me. "Good job. Nice car, nice house." Yeah well, big deal. I hurt tonight. I have chronic pain; I always hurt, so what's new? Nothing. Anyone who suffers chronic ANYTHING--pain, depression, anxiety, … Continue reading I’m Angry Tonight
When Satan Left
I dare say people the world over have at least HEARD of the biblical account of “Job,” the man who went through terrible suffering. It's become an iconic precedent by which many of us measure our pain. "She's a modern-day Job," or "just call me 'Job.'" Most of us grew up hearing the story summarized … Continue reading When Satan Left
When Christians Hate
An alarming trend which has come to my attention is the fact that so many 21st century followers of Christ would rather degrade someone for having a differing opinion than show them love. They insult the dark rather than shine the Light. Pastor Alan Beauchamp, of Praise Assembly of God, Springfield, MO, delivered a wonderful … Continue reading When Christians Hate
Meet Me on the Playground
The human spirit—that is, the attitude, emotions and moods—is meant to sparkle and gleam. Our light shines brightest when allowed to be the vivacious creatures God created us to be. Problem is, many of us have allowed that inner light to be muted or snuffed out. Whether it be a result of negative influences from … Continue reading Meet Me on the Playground
My Love Story
As my wife and I celebrate our 32nd wedding anniversary one week from today, I thought I'd share my love story. I met Laura at what I half-jokingly called a "Church Halloween Party." They didn't like the word "Halloween," so it was dubbed a "Fall Festival," I believe, complete with hayrides and food. By the … Continue reading My Love Story
Never Stop Dreamin’…
