"How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live."
-Henry David Thoreau

Another blog. This is probably the last thing the internet needs. One more person's opinions crowding the airwaves. Nevertheless, I write not because I claim to have some valuable or profoundly learned opinion, but rather because the people who care about me may gain some enjoyment from hearing my thoughts, and I could certainly benefit from their insights into my situations in life.
I do not claim to be a saint. I've simply walked with God a long time, and I desire to share some insights He's revealed to me over the years, sometimes through silent whispers, other times through loving blows with a sledgehammer.
I also have many random musings and little sparks of creativity I need to exorcise onto paper in order to keep my mind as free as possible from clutter. It's an uphill battle. If you happen upon a little story or vignette that catches your interest, please feel free to prod me to write more.
Real writers don't write because they like to. We write because we HAVE to in order to maintain our sanity. This is a wonderful catharsis for me, and I vow to you the reader that I won't bore you with strident opinions or waste your time with verbose and pretentious pieces. My goal is simply to play with words as best I can, because every once in a while, you manage to put them together in just the right order to really reach into another person's soul and inspire something within them, coaxing a greatness out of them they never knew existed.
