StreetLights On A Saturday Night
The Wisdom Of Downton Abbey Well, here we are, 2020. Look how far we’ve come in the last 100 years! Actually… maybe you are better off not looking. A few months ago, just before I took off for my neck surgery, I gave Andrew and Jennifer a ride home from the airport. They live in…

StreetLights On A Saturday Night
Lost in the woods I took a walk today. The sun was out. Blue sky, pillowy clouds and blossoms on the trees. I love trees. I always find them calming and restorative, like natural anti-anxiety medicine. It was during this walk I found the right perspective again. I have been angry this week. I have…

Streetlights on a Saturday night
Again, we need more kindness and love. Too much hate. The pressure becomes to great. And then, it is just too late. The darkest place in the universe is deep inside one’s own troubled soul.

Streetlights on a Saturday night: Entropy and the Pursuit of Happiness
This post was originally written in May of 2019. 14 more hospital stays over the last 5 years along with a body and mind that continues to unravel, and here I am. But don’t see me as struggling to walk. See me as up out of bed and fighting to get my life back. It…

I heard that phrase again yesterday, “…lost in the woods.” Reposting from December. I think it is worth repeating. Happy Saint Patrick’s Day all. “The love of God and his fear grew in me more and more, as did the faith, and my soul was rosed, so that, in a single day, I have said…

StreetLights on a Saturday night… I began looking for God to show me a sign, a sign he was present and real. I began looking a long time ago; perhaps, when I was twelve or thirteen. We all ask for signs, don’t we? And, quite often we see them. Maybe you ask God to show…
