Know Jack #134 Space Force
I admit that I first greeted the idea of a Space Force as a bit of fantasy. I think a lot of people feel that way. I am no longer one of them. This is serious business, and we should wake up and pay attention. The eye-opener for me was a speech by Lt. General... Continue Reading →

Lost Crusader #27 Believe
“For what if some did not believe? Shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?

Bayou Moon #6
How y’all gonna know? That was the question haunting Landry. Old John’s words played over in his head at the end of every path his mind started down.

“…scruples of conscience are very uncomfortable companions.” I think the first duty of a writer is to be true to himself and to his convictions. I’m quite sure there is more financial success and fame to be had following current trends and writing to the delicate egos of society than in holding up a mirror... Continue Reading →

Lost Crusader #26 Blessed
“Blessed is the man that trusts in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.” I am blessed. I say that with supreme confidence, and yet, I am writing this with a heart filled with sadness, a life devoid of material things, and locked in a struggle with chronic disease. There are those without like... Continue Reading →

Know Jack #130
I was happy to get Chapter 6 of Bayou Moon out today. I had some to add at the last minute this morning to help it flow smoothly into the next part. I like this story and I hope you do too. Although what you are seeing is a kind of rough first draft. The... Continue Reading →
