West Texas observations from a transplanted Texan
When a writer has several hours behind the wheel of an 18-wheeler there’s too much time and not enough to think about. This blog post will be proof of what I’m talking about…or writing about, actually. This summer has been the year of West Texas window deliveries. I have a few observations to make since… Continue reading West Texas observations from a transplanted Texan
Spiritual journeys don’t need a lot of geographic space
I’m writing this post on Thursday, August 13, 2015. I should have started my day in Amarillo, Texas. God had other plans for me. His plans included a spiritual journey in my 700 square foot apartment. Last Friday I THOUGHT this week was all mapped out for me to work five consecutive days for the… Continue reading Spiritual journeys don’t need a lot of geographic space
What’s the big deal about birthdays?
Happy birthday! No, it isn’t my birthday today. If it happens to be yours then feel free to claim that sentiment from me to you. I don’t even know why I have birthdays on my mind right now, but it’s time to write this blog and that’s where my mind is stuck so I have… Continue reading What’s the big deal about birthdays?
I’m BA-ACK!
The blogging train has returned to the station and I’m climbing back on board. I’m smiling as I settle back in where I belong. I missed y’all. I hope you missed me, too. This foray into full-time writing has been a bit of a ride, as I expected it to be. Of course I didn’t… Continue reading I’m BA-ACK!
Stop this blogging train. I need to get off!
Have you ever felt the need to take stock in your life because the bottom has totally fallen out? I’m not talking about a bad day here or there. I mean something much worse than a hang-nail and a paper-cut on the same finger. I’ve dealt with those days with a yawn. No, my life… Continue reading Stop this blogging train. I need to get off!
2014 in my rearview mirror
I don’t know about you, but I’m looking forward to putting a fresh calendar on my wall. This past twelve months came with more challenges than I planned for. I survived the extremely cold winter with flashbacks that reminded me why I moved away from Michigan. I had an extremely rude, unexpected visitor on March… Continue reading 2014 in my rearview mirror
What’s a guy to do when he’s between careers?
Have you ever had a time in your life when you’re in between careers? I don’t mean in between jobs, those are too frequent, I’m talking a foot in two different fields practically unrelated. I can tell you from personal experience that it ain’t pretty. It’s draining. It’s mind numbing. It’s sleep depriving. And if… Continue reading What’s a guy to do when he’s between careers?
An unofficial mid-month newsletter
Hey Y’all. If your life is anywhere as crazy-hectic-on-steroids as mine you probably won’t even have time to open this email, let alone click through to read what I’m typing for you. But, I’m going to put this out there anyway just so I can sleep better. Since I didn’t fit a monthly newsletter in… Continue reading An unofficial mid-month newsletter
The migration of the Monarchs is on…the butterfly of course.
Last Saturday was one of those beautiful days we hold out for in north Texas. I call it a transition day because it’s between the heatwave of summer and the deep-freeze of winter. My workday began at 6:00 with a light jacket. By 8:00 the jacket came off. The shirt sleeves were rolled up shortly… Continue reading The migration of the Monarchs is on…the butterfly of course.
