The way I see it there are roughly three styles of revealing information in a book. There’s when the reader knows less than the viewpoint character and will periodically need to be explained to. There’s when the reader knows as much as the viewpoint character and they figure things out together. And then there’s what [...]

So, yesterday I was sitting in my bed watching the latest episode of Dollhouse, when I had what was apparently an amazing lapse of judgement, and actually leaned over to pick up my bottle of water. Stabs pain went through my knee as things slid out of place, and I froze. Okay, it was extremely [...]

There are several blogs I follow and periodically there will be a post where the author is simply geeking out about some hobby or other. Often times those posts are only intelligible if you know something about the hobby and only interesting, well, if you’re interested. So now I guess it’s my turn. I just [...]

Today I think I finally had my last scan for the time being. There’s no change to the cyst, and I’m ready to say that I’ve done all I can do and it’s time to cut the thing out.
I’ll be talking to my doctor later this week, and will get details at that [...]

Saturday a woman I knew in Erie died. Joyce was old and had had Alzheimer’s. She had been living in a nursing home, but was able to be home when she fell asleep. She’s in Heaven now with her Lord. Her mind is clear and her soul is spotless. She lived a long life here [...]

The boys and I raked today. The day was a cliché of a gorgeous spring day- the sun was warm, the sky was blue, a light breeze brushed against my skin. I started raking out front where the leaves had blown against the porch and piled up between the big rocks in front of our [...]

SWCF, 23, seeking theologically correct vampire who wants a sidekick fighting the forces of evil in his path to redemption for past evil vampiric acts. Must be alpha male and slightly crazy. Brooding angst and offbeat sense of humor preferred. Serious inquiries only.

I feel like this poem needs an introduction of some sort, but I don’t have one, so all I’ll say is that I wrote it after midnight, which probably explains anything odd about it.
I was in Your presence
with the glory of Your light

Spring is in the air! The weather is warmer, the skies are blue when they aren’t pouring rain and Crystal is about to pop.
It’s really odd to think about the baby coming. I have had the hardest time wrapping my head around this pregnancy. At first I thought about it as if Crystal was [...]
