I wasn’t going to write anything today but I felt compelled to put some thoughts down. To say my faith has recently been tested is an understatement – this move to this new town has been more difficult than I thought it would ever be. I’ve been praying a lot lately. I pray often but…

Disaster Movies & My Mindset
I’m watching ‘Earthquake’ starring Charleton Heston, it’s been one of my favorite disaster films since I was a kid. I should be doing some cleaning around the house but I can’t bring myself to grab the vacuum. Lately, it seems like I just want to experience what’s familiar. I find myself watching movies I’ve seen…
My Invisibility Cloak
Last week, I posted a poll on my blog (that I just took down). I wanted to know what you guys enjoyed reading from me. Well, no one voted in the poll. I don’t even think anyone looked at the post in six days. It’s not your fault. I haven’t been a very good steward…
