Why I Half Believe In God

It’s one thing to gaze sanctimoniously over a church hymnal and speak about the reality of God, but its entirely another thing to look at pictures of flat bed trucks piled high with the mud caked, silent, naked bodies of children, and ask the question.

Escaping The In-Between Life(If Possible)

I’ve been thinking a lot about Faith lately. The proposition that suggest there is a dimension outside of our physical world, where a real Creator, or divine entity interacts with humanity. I’ve also been thinking about the things that get in the way of fully and firmly settling if this dimension exist. Saying you believe [...]

Proceed As The Way Opens

It seems relatively safe, but it can be torturous. And for many prisoners of war or cult initiates it is a particularly useful technique. The controllers withhold the ability for their victims to know what will become of them, or just important information in general. Just the fear of the unknown is enough to drive many of them crazy.

Want To Get Away?

I guess I always knew I wanted to do it.  Those days I was cooped up between the three cubicle walls, looking nervously at the clock, not sure of something. I felt it again when I would break away from the AC’d environment, and inhale a mountain of the Florida sun washed air.  73 degrees, [...]

The Conspiracy Against Silence

Silence can be like a clean white page, before the blur of words.  Or like the darkness.  It really isn’t a thing, but the absence of something.  For darkness, that thing is light.  For silence, it is noise.  The echoes of sound tightly trapped inside the walls of your mind.  The ones you can’t seem [...]

Haiti Had It Coming Pat Robertson?

When I watched the clip below, I felt like I had to comment. Then after reading Donald Miller’s response to Pat Robertson, I calmed down a bit, not to say I was jumping around with flailing arms or anything…but you get the point.  Both Pat Robertson and I have our own problems.  So I’ll try [...]

The Silent Killer

I tried to focus on the words below the multicolored display chart of male and female internal organs.  The nurse was strapping my let arm into a blood pressure cuff, and in minutes my fate would be pronounced.  If it was anything like the last two blood pressure readings I knew the diagnosis would come [...]

Curiosity Didn’t Kill the Cat

“These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise.” If you started hearing a familiar star trek theme song after reading that quote,  or had a Deanna Troi, or Uhura flash back(the fellas will know what I’m talking about) you may have been a pseudo Trekkie like me growing up(No I didn’t go to any of [...]

Your Life As A Movie

Would you actually make it through the debut of a movie based on your life? Let’s be honest, how inspiring or interesting would it be? Would you or the rest of us, fall asleep during the story called your life?  Do you find yourself getting into a boring cycle, of seemingly meaningless activities, like waking [...]

A Life and Death Issue

I shuffled down the isle towards the front of the church, my view still blocked by the short disheveled line that had bottle-necked and huddled around the opened silver casket. Suddenly the group parted, and the sight seized my chest.  The cold, hard, truth, lay bare before my eyes.  Laying as if sleeping, but not [...]
