I finally got around to launching my humor blog. It’s managed with WordPress and uses a very minimalistic theme I designed in the record timing of 1 hour. Of course 90% of that hour was spent staring at the screen, trying to figure out how I could incorporate more with less. I think it turned [...]
Plans for the future, silver settings, writing tips, and the rest
“To get the right word in the right place is a rare achievement. To condense the diffused light of a page of thought into the luminous flash of a single sentence, is worthy to rank as a prize composition just by itself…Anybody can have ideas–the difficulty is to express them without squandering a quire of [...]
I Went to the Dentist Today
I went to the dentist today and had a significant thought. There I was sitting in a chair betwixt two professionals (the dentist and his assistant) working on my teeth. Yes, two high-paid professionals who had probably both gone through several years of schooling were taking several hours out of their day to attend to [...]

If you have taken the time to grace these pages in the past few months, you may have noticed that I suddenly stopped posting. It may be that I have become bored with blogging, or distracted with other things, or it may be that I am simply finding these summer months inspirationless. Whatever it is [...]
Christian stringency

A worship encounter
I went over to Pate chapel yesterday to break in my new Carles Swindoll study Bible that I purchased at a fundraiser on campus. The tattered Bible came in a worn out leather case with steel studs in the shape of a cross on the cover … quite a spectacular find indeed. I have always [...]
B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L
Yesterday was a grim, merciless day and was a total let down in more ways than just the weather … Then this happened outside my window. Praise God from whom all blessings flow!
