A little late is better than never…
How far will you travel to seek your heart desire?
How deep will you search?
How high will you climb?
How treacherous will the adventure become?
Are you willing to go?
Life can be as fulfilling, heartbreaking, thrill-seeking or peaceful as you want to make it.
Live with no regrets.
Survive with no remorse.
Let your heart soar to new heights and rediscover something new to you!
How high must we climb to reach the top?
How fast should we shimmy up the rungs?
How slippery the ropes to which we cling.
How with trepidation we take each step toward the end.
There is an easier way.
There is a path that is beyond the strife, the turmoil, the fear.
There is a journey that has eternal peace, everlasting joy, and endless breath.
There is a place that will bring your home.
There is a heart who will bring you Hope.
All you have to do is believe.
“Blessed are those whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord their God.” Psalm 146:5
Sometimes, life seems like a long corridor of rooms, doors and walls.
It’s hard to see where it’s going, and any choice might change it all.
You keep walking, wondering, hoping for the best.
Thoughts of grandeur and disaster seem to poke fun at your journey of trepidation.
Keep walking child, but always walk toward the Light.
The Light that shines brighter than all the rest will guide you through.
The Light that is strongest is the only One that will bring you hope.
That Light will bring you joy that is unspeakable, peace that surpasses understanding and hope beyond measure.
That Light will give you beauty for ashes and oil of joy for mourning.
That light will turn your weeping into dancing.
If you feel lost and confused today, just find the Light.
He will give you a Friday Fun Day, and He’s will lead you safely home.
Isaiah 61:3-7
Some days are just going to be filled with wind and rain.
Other days are going to be overwhelmed with tears and pain.
When this journey of life seems to consume, and it’s gets hard to remember the sun that used to shine…
Just take a step back. Breathe deep and exhale long.
Remember, there’s always more.
As long as your heart is still beating and your lungs are still breathing, there’s always hope.
Push away those clouds.
Chase away those blues.
And go have a Friday Fun Day!
“What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?” Romans 8:31
“Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:37-39
Parenting has so many mountains and valleys, and they will come and go so rapidly, you’ll miss them if you blink.
You can’t hold too loosely, or you’ll miss all that you neglected.
You can’t hold on too tightly, or you just might lose it all.
You just have to be in the moment and enjoy it.
Savor it.
Treasure it.
Remember it.
And when the heavy lifting over, know that it’s not really over.
It’s just shifted a bit, and a new chapter will open.
Live fully.
Laugh freely.
Love deeply.
I don’t know about you, but those little sparkles that you can buy during the Fourth of July holidays make me feel like a little kid.
They light up the night.
They sizzle.
They pop.
They bring sweet memories rushing in of innocence and laughter.
If you’re struggling today to find some peace, and if your striving this week to find some joy, just go pick up a box of those sparklers.
Light ‘em up.
Let them spark.
Let them bring a moment of joy to your heart, and remember there’s still hope.
Because there’s still breath to breathe.
Enjoy your Friday Fun Day!
“You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.” Psalm 16:11
Sometimes, things don’t turn out like they should.
Sometimes, your dreams change or disappear.
Sometimes, the aspirations of yesterday get middles in the chaos of today.
Yet, there is still Hope, and it can find a way.
Just take a moment to breathe.
Just take a second to relax
Just step back from all the confusion and deeply exhale.
Just remember, there is a God who can shelter you in the gale.

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.” John 14:27
It’s Friday, and I’m back!
Fridays are made for fun!
So, let’s go have some!
Get outside. Run, jump, and play.
Do something fun.
Swim, run, hike, or just enjoy the day.
Don’t stop until it’s done.
Yeah, through all the homework and tears,
Through all the newness and fears,
Despite the hardships and trails,
Despite all the journey of many, many miles,
This happened.
Now, the really adventure begins…
So many words are spewed about
So many syllables are given out
This one says you should say that
That one says you should use this format
So many demand justice and revenge
So many scream inequality must end
This one brings a torch and a brick
That one brings a hand that constricts
How does this violence bring harmony to souls?
How does this hatred bring peace to console?
Can’t you see the only answer is unified prayer?
Can’t you see the only action is our hearts stripped bare?
May we search deep within for the sin that lies dormant.
May we recognize the enemy of the cross is our torment.
Our battle is never because of my skin color or yours or because of a simple nod.
Our battle is always with the one who steals, kills and destroys the children of God.

My journey didn’t stop with mere time travel or writing; it led me to become one of the most sought-after empaths, a soulful psychic who reads the hidden depths of the human spirit. I’ve been blessed—or perhaps burdened—with an ability that allows me to feel the emotions of people from every corner of time.

Finding Meaning in the Madness
Dedicated to movie nerdom, nostalgia, and soul invigoration. In the late 90s, I worked at Blockbuster Video where they let me take home two free movies a day. I caught up on the classics and reviewed theatrical releases for Denver 'burbs newspapers and magazines. Today, while raising two young, beautiful daughters with my amazing wife, I look forward to anything rated R and not Bluey. Comments and dialogue encouraged!
