The Blog: Voices from the road

Dear friend, I bring you stories from my back road travels; looking for God in the imperfections, the messy, and the real of life. I share my own experiences in hopes that you can catch a glimpse of yourself in them, and know that even when life gets hard, you’re not alone.

The Gift

The wind shrieked with a soul of its own as if it was coming for someone. The rain pelted the old pane glass windows as hard as ice crystals. The cabin, built by her grandfather, was the only shelter against the late autumn tempest. Lillian Grace’s father was out there

Why do we choose Insanity so often?

There is a line from James Cameron’s movie ‘Avatar’, where our main character, Sully, is trying to integrate himself into the indigenous beings on the an alien planet. This scene came back to my mind while traveling. In the story ‘Avatar’ they, (we) the humans, have no clue how ‘life’

Bucket Full Of Stars

I’ve had this desire to take good photos of the Milky Way. A couple of years ago I purchased the camera that would do the job, and studied up on what I needed to do in order to get this on film (Memory). You would think it wouldn’t be hard.

I had a dream when I was a child, of flying. That dream led me in many different directions. One of course, was the children’s book, ‘THE DAY I LEARNED TO FLY’, which was published last year. But flight is a love affair, and once she bites, it’s sorta like

It’s just business…Yea

It is Personal… I was thinking about this weeks ago. It’s taken a number of years, and yes, maybe it is true that life doesn’t start ‘making sense’ or ‘you don’t start coming into your own’ till the 50’s… but, for those who know me, you will be shocked, I

Shattered Glass

When life breaks us, we all need to find handholds and I choose to believe that Christ was and is intimately involved with what occurred.
