A N0n-Fiction Book I hope, as with yesterday's post, that this is not an expectation of me to have a non-fiction book written and posted here. While I am, without question, a cesspool of useless knowledge, I would never claim to know enough about any particular subject to be able to write a book about … Continue reading Day Fourteen

The New Pharisees
What follows is something that I wrote several years ago when I was going through a difficult time in my life. I was struggling with my faith after having a number of negative experiences in a particular church and in dealing with particular church leaders. This is something that I wrote from a place of … Continue reading The New Pharisees
Church Family

What if you were told to sacrifice your child? I would love to sit here and write out his incredible answer … Continue reading Question of the Week #27

Creators in that particular genre are limited only by their imaginations as to the plethora of aliens and creatures to which one can compare humanity. Many people only have the … Continue reading Human
Urge
Something happened to me that's never happened before. Yesterday, as I was driving to work, I felt an odd urge. It was an urge that I have felt before, but I usually don't follow it.
