Message to the pro-life community. The good side of abortion (re-post)
(Re-posting this. In the changeover for my site, I believe it got lost in the WordPress world.) Stop. Hold on a minute. Put down your torches and pitchforks. Call an end to the lynch mob looking to string me up in the public square. I’m on your side. I detest abortion. I believe, without any […]

Dear Dad, I never got the chance to tell you goodbye
I will never forget that day. Life was good. I was living as if you would be with us down here forever. Or at least several more years. I was blinded by the reality that our existence in this human form is merely a vapor. A wisp of breath that vanishes almost as quickly as […]
A message to the pro-life community. There is a good side to abortion
Stop. Hold on a minute. Put down your torches and pitchforks. Call an end to the lynch mob looking to string me up in the public square. I’m on your side. I detest abortion. I believe, without any doubts or hesitation, that it’s murder. Life begins at conception. Actually, if we want to get extremely […]

The crimson stains from the boy she birthed into the world. A world that brutally nailed him to a tree. Outside, under a blackened […]

We immediately get mad, irritated, or defensive if a person shares something that contradicts what we believe. We start shouting Bible scriptures and flog them with […]

Jesus is so much more than a holiday
I get it. Most people grew up in church. It became a weekly ritual. For the very religious ones, attendance required three visits per week. Minimum. Then annual observances became the norm. Christmas to celebrate the birth of Christ. Easter, His resurrection. There’s a myriad of documents, theories, and arguments about the actual time frame of […]

Two to six and a new perspective
“The cancer has spread throughout more of your body than we had anticipated. You have two to six months to live.” No one wants to hear those words spoken from the mouth of your doctor. In the natural, it’s devastating and completely overwhelming. It’s a slap in the face as you suddenly realize how frail […]

Help support my dream
Ever since high school, my passion has been writing. I started with poetry and song lyrics. I then discovered that I loved writing fiction. Now I blog on a consistent basis and publish short novellas on Amazon. I work full time as an Account Management Specialist with a kidney dialysis company. It’s sometimes very hard […]
