I was thinking back, as I sometimes do, to the days when I used to be more easily sidetracked by the notion of being in love. It completely ruined me. Made me look stupid and unhinged to people who would otherwise have thought I had my head on straight. If you had occasion to run…
Seven years ago, I was in Phoenix enjoying a week-long trip for work where I was supposed to learn all things Compliance. It was my first trip away by myself and I was a nervous wreck most of the week. I enjoyed being there, but I really wished my daughter could have made the trip…
Over the last few weeks I attempted to share some of the news I’d heard from various sources here on this blog. I wanted to find a way to use this platform to inform those who might not necessarily have time to dig into all of the information that is out there. After spending quite…
Yesterday I created a new playlist on my Spotify. It’s a little-known fact that I have an extremely strange collection of playlists on my phone. I like to pick out common themes in the music I listen to, and this particular playlist came to me after I recalled some lyrics to an old Rita Coolidge…
I recently had someone ask me if I was married (again) yet and much to my chagrin, this made me think. I really don’t need to be married. I’m not waiting for a knight in shining armor to rescue me from some horrible existence as a single person. I have a king who rescues me…

Recently, I saw this post on Facebook and I had to comment. My comment: I can’t get used to it, either. I learned to type about 36 years ago and I’ve been typing or keyboarding daily since then. Why did this change even occur? Is there some logic behind it? This didn’t seem particularly oppressive…
Over the last few weekends, I’ve noticed lots of posts from parents who were moving their kids into college dorms for the first or second or third time. My daughter, who graduated this past June, has decided to stick around for a bit and take some time to think about what she wants to do.…
I never liked politics, politicians, or the mainstream media. I spent the better part of my adult life avoiding the news and trying not to get caught up in all of the sensationalism that is pushed by the mainstream media. For example, years ago I was dealing with depression and anxiety after having suffered through…
My fiftieth birthday is looming. In about two and a half weeks, I’ll be half a century old. This has been weighing on me a bit. Usually, I don’t think twice about getting older. I feel like the lessons I’ve learned over the years have been well-received and that God has always blessed me with…
