A long time ago, really it was, in a state far far away, stupidity took place. I am not sure what it is about the male psyche, but the whole competitive thing is still something I can’t say I totally get. What I mean by “get” is I don’t recognize that
I have been thinking a lot about ‘us’…that is, people in general: color, creed, religion, politics, finances all set aside… what makes us alike? If a man or woman bleeds, it is always red. We have hearts that beat, brains, and souls. We are living, breathing creatures. But, there are
As some of you know I have a deep love of airplanes, flying, and just about anything that can get into the air. As an adult I have analyzed, thought, meditated, and tried to figure out ‘why’ this is the case, but alas I can’t nail it down except to
From the Family Series: Stories about our childhood – what we did, what we didn’t get away with, and what we learned from it. Back ‘in the day’ when my brothers and I were small, like 8, 9 and 10ish, we harbored a love for paper airplanes. I don’t remember how
I was blessed to make a friend a few years ago while traveling in Plano, Texas. Her name is Danisa Mantero, and she lives in Santiago, Chile. She is a wonderful woman. I told her about my book, and she agreed to take my books to an English Teaching school in
One of the many issues I have with blogs is that a lot of them seem to be very self focused and guru creating . I have resisted getting into this gig because I don’t like the idea of being the “know it all guy”.. However, I really want to
Wow, talk about a odd topic…and one that again, is important to me personally. I have spent the better part of my life trying to BE or define ‘right-ness’. I looked for being right in so many areas: religion, politics, child-rearing, the judicial system, social norms, and moral codes. This
My day job, sometimes spilling into nighttime and weekends, is being a manager of a call center. Staffing is something that all call center managers have to work on, and this last week I attended a job fair in my local town to collect resumes. During our lunch break I
You know I really don’t want to weigh in on this because it can so easily offend and cause bad feelings. I have been thinking/struggling with a topic for a number of years and it is coming back to the surface much like blister… it just will not go away.
A dear friend recently said to me, “Isn’t it amazing how long it takes for the dark to transition to sunrise and morning, yet it happens so fast…” I had to think for a second, and then realized this is just like life. All of us know what it
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. I see that Christ is the ‘Hope of Glory’, Colossians 1:27 and it’s that Hope that is offered to all. That Hope is the foundation of what got me to this point in life. I pray God uses this tiny, little piece of Shattered Glass from my life to help you find the Hope he offers to you.
Eight year old Jeff’s imagination isn’t earth bound. He dreams of flying over his neighborhood, free from the bonds of gravity – becoming part of the elite list of eight year olds who have flown. When he and his brothers begin building a homemade go kart, he leaps on this opportunity to use his ingenuity, and make his dreams real!
I'd love to talk with you about all things grief, growth and transformation. Hope to talk soon.
