Amazing Grace (Forgiveness and Redemption)
We all were once lost. Some still are. Some of us have found forgiveness and redemption… but not everyone. Some are still stuck in that vicious cycle of hatred, anger, sorrow, and self-pity. Not only is this unhealthy, but it drives us farther from God’s grace. You...
Questioning God
I’ve heard it said that you shouldn’t question God. I beg to differ. I’ve questioned God many times throughout my life. Sure, there is something to be said for trust and faith, but at the same time questioning isn’t necessarily bad. As humans...
Second Amendment: Not Open for Debate
There has been a lot going on in the news lately involving shootings, protests, the NRA, and the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution… which guarantees U.S. citizens the right to keep and bear arms. Lines are being drawn in the sand between the two...
Goodbye Pizza
My team hates me. Rather, my ex-team hates me, I should say. They think I’m a traitor. They think I lied to them. In a way, I guess I kinda did. An omission of truth is kinda the same thing, isn’t it? I didn’t even want to omit the truth, either, but...
What Would you Do?
People often claim that they would “do anything for love” (10 points if you sang that in Meatloaf’s voice). Mothers claim that they’d become a “mama bear” and singlehandedly take on an army of masked intruders in order to protect...
New Year, New Ventures
For a while I’ve been tossing an idea around in my head, and even more recently have been working hard to see it to fruition. Now, the time has come. What have I been working on, you ask? Well, my very own business, of course. What else? Introducing: D&C...
Tis the Season
To many, the Christmas season is all about joy, friends, family, love, Faith, togetherness.. you get the idea. But it seems that these days all of the joy, love, and faith is getting impinged upon by a nastier element of the holidays.. thievery and idiocy. Apparently...
Just As I Am
“Just as I am, without one plea, but that thy blood was shed for me, and that thou bid’st me come to thee, oh lamb of God I come. I come!” To many, these words are just lyrics to a song that they are forced to sing every Sunday at church. And, to...
Revelation 18: My Exodus from the Catholic Church
April 2010. Easter. It was one of the most thrilling nights of my life up until that point. I had been preparing for almost a year (well, years, if you count all of the soul-searching and jokes.. more about that later). All within a matter of hours I was baptized,...

Birthday Adventures
I’ve had a few birthdays. Well, more than a few, honestly. They’ve generally been just plain old days, filled with “Happy Birthday’s,” dinner, and maybe a gift or two thrown in for good measure. No big deal, really. This year, though,...
To Alien or Not to Alien?
As you can image, I love watching anything having to do with aliens (documentaries, I mean). I was recently watching an episode of Unsealed: Alien Files that had to do with the origin of aliens.. where they might come from. I’ve always believed that there could...
Lions and tigers and… babies? Oh my!
A couple months ago the phone rang. Sure, it rings everyday, but this call was different. You’ve probably heard people talk about a phone call changing their lives. This was one of those calls. There was a baby that needed help. He needed a safe place to stay....
Electroshock Therapy: How I Deal With Migraines
Electroshock Therapy: How I Deal With Migraines A while back (as in a few years ago) I was diagnosed with migraines, and the doctors still can’t figure out what’s causing them. My PCP (no, not THAT PCP) has pretty much gone through all the medications she can, and...The Man in the Park
So there I was, in the park. I’d gotten bored and decided to go out for a little walk, just me and the birds chirping in the breeze. I don’t usually have time to do anything like that, but sometimes you just have to get away, find a bit of quiet, and let...
Review: Liztek Wireless Doorbell
We recently moved into a bigger house (a much-needed change). It’s a beautiful two-story home with hardwood floors, plenty of windows, patios.. and a single doorbell that you can’t even hear from upstairs. That, of course, makes it difficult to know when...
Just As I Am
“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me. I lift my lamp beside the golden door.” These words are the slogan of the United States...Friends of the Aliens
