Yeah, that’s right. We’re done.
I said it. It’s over.
And I won.
Wait. What?
What did you say?
Oh no not today, dude. It’s Friday.
We can’t have your mouth here today.
Here’s ya some tape to shut that trap…
Hope you’re laughing today! It’s Friday!
Enjoy your weekend!
(To everything there is a season)
A time to gain,
Ecclesiastes 3:7
And a time to lose;
A time to keep,
And a time to throw away;
When you’re lonely and feel no one cares, where does your heart go?
When you’re afraid and search every corner for harm, where does your heart hide?
When you’re broken and believe not one could mend a shattered piece, where does your heart reach?
Run to the Only One who can love unconditionally.
Hide in the Shadow of the One who can defend.
Take comfort in the Only One who can heal a ravaged soul.
He is looking, and He sees the child He created.
He is lingering, and He adores you.
He is waiting, and He loves you.
One touch, one word, one moment in His presence…
Your heart will never be the same.
He heals the brokenhearted
Psalm 147:3
And binds up their wounds.
For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness. For the Lord God is a sun and shield; The Lord will give grace and glory; No good thing will He withhold
Psalm 84:10-11
From those who walk uprightly.
The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies. The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid. The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me. In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.
Psalm 18:2-6
Let it all hang out.
Or not.
Or maybe just a little.
No, not that much.
Goodness gracious, that’s too much.
This world can’t handle all that.
You better put it all back in, or they might chase you down and finally commit you.
Just keep in tucked away till you need it most.
Hope you’re laughing!
Enjoy your weekend!
Then David arose and fled that day from before Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath. And the servants of Achish said to him, “Is this not David the king of the land? Did they not sing of him to one another in dances, saying: ‘Saul has slain his thousands, And David his ten thousands’?” Now David took these words to heart, and was very much afraid of Achish the king of Gath. So he changed his behavior before them, pretended madness in their hands, scratched on the doors of the gate, and let his saliva fall down on his beard. Then Achish said to his servants, “Look, you see the man is insane. Why have you brought him to me? Have I need of madmen, that you have brought this fellow to play the madman in my presence? Shall this fellow come into my house?”
1 Samuel 21:10-15
Don’t worry. Saturday’s coming.
You will rest then.
But if not, just adopt this philosophy:
“You can sleep when you’re dead.”
Hope you’re laughing today.
Happy Friday! Enjoy your weekend.
Therefore He says:
“Awake, you who sleep, arise from the dead,
Ephesians 5:14-16
and Christ will give you light.” See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
All of us go through the struggle of feeling less than.
Less that perfect.
Less than amazing.
Less than good.
Less than we should be.
Never let those moments of low convince you to quit.
Never let those minutes of doubt persuade you to quit.
It’s natural. We’ve all been there.
But the great heroes in this world never let the failure consume them.
The courageous leaders we see never let the darkness overtake without lighting a match.
So, strike that wood. Let it spark.
And even if you have to blow in the embers,
Let the flame burn.
And keep standing taller.
You’ll eventually get there.
You can do this!
Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do,forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 3:12-14
Take a minute to breathe today.
Breathe in deep.
Breathe in the fresh air.
Breathe in peace and serenity.
Breathe in sanity.
Breathe in goodness and grace.
Take a minute and regroup from all the chaos.
You will see better.
You will hear better.
And you will live better.
Just breathe again, and let your mind be consumed with the beauty that is before you.
and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:7
How does the heart reach when it only wants to recede?
How does the hand soothe when it only wants to clinch?
How does the soul breathe when it only wants to grieve?
The pain can sear the most vibrant minds.
The agony can halt the most passionate tongues.
The brokenness can sever the most intricate of dreams.
How does the path become cleared from the haze of confusion and chaos?
One step in front of the other.
Smiling when a frown would be more convenient.
Looking to the eyes when alluding would be more tolerable.
Gazing with love instead of hatred and realizing if you don’t, you’ll become the very things that have broken you.
And taking it to the feet of Jesus again and again, because without Him, none of this is even possible.
Then, get up anew each day and do it all over again.
So, go ahead.
Live life in your anger, bitterness and pain.
Or love like you’ve never been hurt.
Because His pain was so much greater, and He has still loved us.
Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.
Luke 23:34
Stand up.
Stand tall.
Stand proud.
You mean something to someone.
And you can make a difference!
Seize the moment.
Be present.
Love, guide, confront, guide and nurture.
Reach a life to change a life.
You can do this.
Because there’s a hero inside of you just waiting to fly.
Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
Galatians 6:2
For all those who have struggled with your spelling this week,
For all those who go have tripped over words and stumbled over phrasing,
For all those whose Siri is not your best friend,
Just breathe. Just chuckle. Just have a good belly laugh.
Spellchecks won’t be in Heaven.
Happy Saturday! Enjoy your weekend!
A merry heart does good, like medicine,
Provers 17:22
But a broken spirit dries the bones.
How how are you flying today?
Take a moment to laugh at yourself.
Take a moment to laugh at the stupidity of others. (Not at the person, him/self, pls.)
Take a moment to evaluate, assess, regroup and move on.
You know what they say…
It’s Friday. It can only get better from here.
Enjoy your weekend!
Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.

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.

Dedicated to movie nerdom, nostalgia, and escape. 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!
