Originally written in April of 2010. It's a devastating thing, finding out that someone you looked up to has fallen from grace. I had someone like that in my life. From the time I was just 15, this man took me in. He made me a part of his family. He saw potential in me … Continue reading Mentor
First Kiss
This is going to be a very telling post. I've been prompted to write about my first kiss. Sadly, this is an event that has yet to happen. Unless you want to count my preschool experiences with Angie, and I don't, then I've never been in a relationship that went on long enough to warrant … Continue reading First Kiss
6 Reasons Why Pizza Delivery Is Better Than Banking
When I was a bank teller, I also delivered pizza to help make ends meet. Because banks pay their tellers very little to take a lot of crap from horrible people. It's a sad world, the world of banking. Anyway, when I was working both jobs, I noticed that the part time delivery gig held … Continue reading 6 Reasons Why Pizza Delivery Is Better Than Banking
Alchemy
It sounds ridiculous, right? The ability to turn objects to gold. That's what I thought until I watched it happen in front of my eyes. I still have a hard time believing that what I saw actually happened. It's as if I can't trust my own senses. But it was plain as day. The old … Continue reading Alchemy

Back to the Future

When I visited Los Angeles back in 2008, my friend Jen took me on a whirlwind adventure that included many of the locations used in the films. I wish … Continue reading Back to the Future
Blame
It's human nature to pass blame on to someone else. The Bible shows us that, even from the beginning, man was busy trying to shift blame for his own sin. When God asked Adam if he'd eaten from the only tree He commanded him not to eat from, Adam blamed Eve, and in turn, blamed … Continue reading Blame
Weird
Growing up, I went to church with a woman called Weird. I'm pretty sure, for a long time, I thought that was her actual name. Really, her name was Jean. But to most of us, she was just Weird. My Dad had become close to her family a long time before I was born. Apparently, … Continue reading Weird
Demands
I was bound on the floor just like the rest of them. My hands were behind my back, tied up with the same sort of plastic things they use for handcuffs these days.
