I've written about the fortunes that come out of the fortune cookies before. And while all of those little slips of paper are not always blogworthy, it's incredibly fortunate when one comes across one that is. This weekend I took a quick trip to Raleigh and spent an evening dining on Chinese takeout with some … Continue reading Fortune and Glory

Hungry Bears
You see it on the news every now and then. Occasionally, a wild bear will invade the territory that man has rightfully taken over. These animals are just looking for some food and for some reason will not listen to your well rehearsed speech about manifest destiny and eminent domain. Bears, like most animals, get … Continue reading Hungry Bears
Why Do We Cry?
I spend a lot of time on the Facebook. Well, more than I used to. I don't consider it an unhealthy amount. But I also don't consider my caffeine intake an unhealthy amount, though I'm well aware of my severe addiction to the stuff. But I noticed a status update from a friend. Apparently she … Continue reading Why Do We Cry?
The Single Guy and the Chicken Alfredo
The following tale is based on actual events which occurred a number of years ago... It's not often that I date. I know, that's an understatement.

I Cannot Trust My Own Ears
I very rarely listen to the radio. In my long drives to and from work, I'm usually listening to audio books to fill the time. When I feel like listening to music as I'm driving around town, it's courtesy of my iPod and all the music that I know I'll want to listen to. If … Continue reading I Cannot Trust My Own Ears
3 Reasons Why I’m a Horrible Person
Do you ever wonder if you're a horrible person? Well, I don't have to wonder. I know. About myself, I mean. I have no idea if you are horrible. That's between you and God. If you're nice or, at least, attempting to be nice, you're probably saying I can't be that bad. You've probably read … Continue reading 3 Reasons Why I’m a Horrible Person
Hey, Remember the Lite-Brite?
I used to have a Lite-Brite. I loved that thing. It's one of those toys that inspired a creative spark in my childhood. Though, if I were to be completely honest, I was never all that creative with it. They sold all those pages with designs printed on them. They were those thick pieces of … Continue reading Hey, Remember the Lite-Brite?
The Single Guy and the First Day of School
The following tale is based on actual events which occurred a number of years ago... It had been a long time since I had gotten excited about the first day of school. There was a time, once upon a time, when I actually looked forward to that fateful September day when I would be able … Continue reading The Single Guy and the First Day of School
Sometimes I Wonder…
I wonder if women named Felicia feel the same way about hearing this... ...as I do about hearing this...
Hanging Out at the Pottery Barn
Last week I went to a children's ministry conference with the children's ministry staff from my church (which is a great story in and of itself, so I'll let you know when it's posted). On the way back to Virginia from Atlanta, we stopped at an outlet mall to get some much needed shopping done. … Continue reading Hanging Out at the Pottery Barn
