An invitation for my readers to respond. Over the past year, I’ve put in some pretty hefty effort into actually sitting down and writing. From fictional works that haven’t made it here yet, to my personal ramblings on philosophical and theological ideas, to simple poems and photos. But is any of it worth it? Someday,Continue reading “Is This Worth Sharing?”

To My Dear Friends, on the Advent of Their Wedding
I must, before all else, apologize to you, for the timing of this message, which should have been delivered to you on the momentous day. I am a selfish man, and in my selfishness I neglected you, and for that I am sorry. But what a day for celebration! Seeing the two of you broughtContinue reading “To My Dear Friends, on the Advent of Their Wedding”
Locked Inside My Hypocrisy
Are any of you as tired as me? With all this horrid war I’d like to think that days of peace are not far from the door And do you find your lids are heavy with weight of many thoughts? Distractions seem to fill my head my mind must places go. I am tired, andContinue reading “Locked Inside My Hypocrisy”
The Christian Call to Courage and Love
Actions speak louder than words. Over the past few years, I’ve seen a disturbing trend in the Christian community. I’ve seen Christians adopt a posture of incredible hatred and fear of those who are outside of the body of Christ. It makes me sad, because these same people are claiming the love of Christ, butContinue reading “The Christian Call to Courage and Love”
Grata in Aeternum
I don’t really feel like myself. It’s a funny thing to say, really, because I’ve never actually felt like myself. It’s hard to feel like you, when you don’t really know who you are. But lately, I’ve drawn inward quite a bit. I feel reclusive, and tired, and very demoralized. I’ve been sick several timesContinue reading “Grata in Aeternum”
Where Silence Ends
How do you know when it’s time to unplug? What do you do to make it happen? Silence. The absence of sound. Peace. This is truly, a lost way of life. As I sit here, I contemplate the silence I am comfortably settled in. It washes over me. It soothes my mind. I am usedContinue reading “Where Silence Ends”
You People Have Favorite BRANDS?
What are your favorite brands and why? Dear God, what have we done? I don’t have favorite brands, and you shouldn’t either. To allow an emotional bond to develop between you and someone selling you a product (typically not even a necessity) is madness. Favorite brands? Insanity. This culture needs a hard reset. We’re pretendingContinue reading “You People Have Favorite BRANDS?”
End of Day
I am at rest, after a long, long day. I have everything I need. I am fed, I have clean water, I have shelter. I have love and a community of good friends. I am blessed beyond measure. Truly, what need of mine has not been met? Bless the Lord, oh my soul. For whoContinue reading “End of Day”
A Hard Days Work
To bed I go, To rest my head The day is done, The sun is dead The moon has risen, I must sleep A hard days work, I will repeat Calloused hands, and iron bones Work away, to crumble stone Oh dark disease, tear it down! A hard days work, will be my crown ForContinue reading “A Hard Days Work”
The Cult of Negativity
This is the worst. These people suck. This is not enough. I cannot be happy. These events are too wrong to fix. Everything is going to collapse. We’ve heard these words before. On the news, on YouTube, on Facebook, wherever. The feedback cycle has gotten out of control. The negativity has reached a point ofContinue reading “The Cult of Negativity”
