Out of the Darkness

I don't know how this piece turned out this way. I was going to write a long post on opening a studio. So I was going to throw it out and start over, but I thought, "This is raw stuff, maybe it will help someone going through hard times?". So I'm not even going to … Continue reading Out of the Darkness →

Giving Thanks for Cyber Monday

I know, Thanksgiving would have been a much more appropriate time for a blog message... but I was working on Thanksgiving Day and was kind of bummed about that and didn't really feel very thankful about it. Looking back though, it wasn't so bad... way better than last year, which was the worst Thanksgiving of … Continue reading Giving Thanks for Cyber Monday →

Lost Sheep

I've been pondering a new theory as of late, and after last night it has jelled in my mind and I think it is high time to put it down on the old electronic paper. I call this one the Lost Sheep theory, which could also probably be called the separated sheep theory but lost … Continue reading Lost Sheep →

Photographic Journey

Today I'm continuing my photographic journey through the last few years looking for the best images to upload to the Adobe Stock Photo library... Funny, I forget a lot of things from the past, but when I see these images I can pretty much remember the exact moment of each capture. If it weren't for … Continue reading Photographic Journey →

End of Summer 2016

The annual mass migration out of the mountains on Labor Day is in full swing... Thousands of cars, RV's, and camper trailers streaming out of the mountains on their journey back to the cities. Can't say I'm sorry to see them go. I know they are supposed to be good for business in the state … Continue reading End of Summer 2016 →

Measuring God’s Will

In every situation that arises I try to make sure I am in God's will... that I am doing what God would have me to do. Sometimes it's difficult to tell, many times I don't want to do what God wants because it is contrary to what I want, it is contrary to what makes … Continue reading Measuring God’s Will →

Peace

Today in my walk through the woods with the doggies, I pondered a question posed to me, “How can there ever be peace”, in reference to the chaos which has beset my life as of late. Peace is of course a good thing, something that should be sought by everyone. I even had a wise … Continue reading Peace →

God Wouldn’t

Every once in a while when I'm out hiking on the mountain the answer to some perplexing question will come to me and I feel compelled to write it down. Here's something I've come across lately... the God Wouldn't people. Was trying to put a finger on something I've been encountering lately. I was called … Continue reading God Wouldn’t →

Balance

Working on the right life / work balance... I'm finding that four nights on the loading dock and a 14er on the weekend may be just a little bit much for my chronologically challenged body ... So I asked my boss to cut me back to three loading dock marathons per week and thankfully it … Continue reading Balance →

Buddy

My best friend Buddy crossed Rainbow Bridge tonight. He was all heart, but his heart could hold on no longer. When he came to me the vet thought he was about 6 years old, which would make him 22 tonight. He has been faithfully sitting on my lap while I work at my computer or … Continue reading Buddy →
