RIP…While Passing By

Day 25 I’m sure they had family. I’m sure they lived a certain life up to that moment. They were important to something/someone. I can’t get these thoughts out of my head as I pass by two deer that appeared to have been hit by cars lying dead along the highway. I have always had…

Lord, IF it’s You…. (in progress)

Day 23 -24 Peter walking on water. This miraculous , assuredly life changing event, was captured differently depending on which gospel you read. On one hand, the notion of simply alternative perspectives is an obvious answer to the difference in tale. Yet when we peel back the initial simple answer, we see that how each…

Prince

Day 21 Realized I didn’t write .. despite thinking about it all day. That’s progress right ? Prince has a lawsuit in progress headed toward settlements despite being dead .. think on that. Settlement relating to a 2007 YouTube video and the concept of fair use .. crazy! What’s the legacy?

Journey of Discovery

Day 19 Spent this day chatting with my oldest son. Organic in nature, a whole day of just talking. About everything …from racism, to college, to filmmaking, and relationships. As a sit and admire his own journey of discovery, I am ignited to be on one of my own. Admiring his season, his grasp of…

Stay Woke

Day 17 and 18 I have come to realize I don’t always have the best view of a situation while I am currently in it. While I was on active duty, in the Air Force, I fussed and complained. I remember wishing, most days, wishing it was all over and how stupid the rules were….

No One Else

Day 16 No one else like you. No one else pays attention. No one else believes the things you do. No one else sees what you see. So what? So what, if you have a grand vision but no one else ever gets on board or sees what you see? Do you stop writing the…

The Second Ten

Day 15, Day 20 & 22 It was Panama City, FL and I can remember what the gate looked like. What the pool behind the gate looked like. I remember it was right next to the ocean. Part of the campground where we were camped for sabbatical summers. The sign excluded anyone under 11 without…

Secret Smurfs

Day 14 There must be a secret place where all my good ideas go to hide when it is time to deliver. All throughout the day, especially the mornings, I feel like I am flowing and have lots of ideas to write about……lots of ideas, intriguing thoughts. Fun stories. Fast forward to night time to…

Addictions

Day 13 A friend is struggling with something addictive. Something that she knows isn’t good for her but takes part in it anyway. Something that could drive her life into total chaos–and in fact, has–but still can’t seem to totally let it go. It seems so obvious and clear that it is not good for…

The Coffee Butterfly Effect

Day 12 How did I end up here? Drastically searching for a towel…any towel, something to soak up the mess. Where do I start first? It’s all wet and with each passing second, brown stains are etching their way into a status of permanent damage. Damage to the carpet, walls…it’s everywhere. Stains on pictures, iPads,…
