Dumbing It Up
I don’t know much But I am sure In my tired bones You are the good in everything And maybe I can be Ignorant and ill-informed and non-educated and slow But the place of Assurance doesn’t reside in my brain and intellect won’t save me from myself Maybe we’re all choking on so much knowledge Continue reading

Let Hope Be Born
This place is too evil or so they say Don’t bring a child into this world They will only suffer Society will crumble The earth will decay Your grandchildren will watch it burn (If they are even born) It’s selfish to raise children In the midst of the apocalypse Or so they say Better not Continue reading

Viral Jesus
If Jesus came in the flesh today, thousands would stand in line in hopes of getting tickets to his sold-out stadium event. Waiting in the cold, shivering from the chill and the anticipation, hoping to get a glimpse of this high profile celebrity. After watching his Facebook Live video that went viral of him healing Continue reading

The Only Cure For Despair
Every human is confronted with the same decisions: believe the dark thoughts or cast them out. And I am realizing that intersection faced multiple times a day is really what makes or breaks a life. I am reminded again, you can have the whole world but lose your soul. Money is an illusion. Adventure can Continue reading

Rest, Child
When I was a child, growing up in rural New Hampshire, I always loved lilacs. There was one house in particular which had a yard covered in lilac bushes, and whenever we’d pass it, I’d say to myself, one day I’ll have a yard covered in lilac bushes. After growing up, moving to Texas and Continue reading

Machines & Beating Hearts
Just people attached to machines. That’s what most of us see, when we look around. It seems like something from a late 1990’s Sci-Fi film that makes you question everything you’ve ever known. But now, 20-something years later, this is reality. I am here at my gym as I type this. People, in a building, Continue reading

Better Days, Better Dreams
In my dreams, I am often traveling. Somewhere foreign, usually by an ocean. I am alone, or accompanied by some random person from my past that doesn’t really mean much in my present life. I am often filled with adrenaline and excitement, trying to capture a beautiful moment with my camera. I am on my Continue reading

Enough For Today
Moments of clarity come, falling into my heart like snow, covering the dust and dirt, the anxiety and confusion, creating a new landscape of white. I am thankful. Deep down in my bones. My boot-covered feet crunch as I walk across our lawn to the mailbox, making new footprints in the white powder. I inhale Continue reading

They’re Raising Me
I’ve been baking bread a lot lately. It’s strange, it’s not something I ever thought I’d enjoy. They say you’re either a cook or a baker, and I am definitely not Betty Crocker. Baking (and most crockpot recipes) bother me because you have to follow instructions carefully. You can’t really just add in a dash of Continue reading

We Walk On
I have an announcement to make: everybody feels like they are faking it. We are all just along for the ride, and really have no clue what we are doing or where we are going. Even moments of confidence and accomplishment feel so short-lived. Life comes at you the older you get, and parenthood adds Continue reading
