It is not the pity I wanted. The pity would get me nowhere. It was the money I was looking for. It was the money I expected. I was used to being there, day after day and week after week. I knew my place. It’s not like I was going to get up and walk […]
Read More Far Better Than ExpectedClickbait. When I got into the internet 23 years ago, that phrase was not on my radar. I’m fairly certain the concept wasn’t a thing at the time. At the moment, however, there is something about the concept that evokes mostly disdain from observers who talk about. For clickbait is the deliberate ploy by someone […]
Read More Take A Look At ThisIf I follow certain narratives of history, I could get the impression that it was easier back in the day. Who is he? He catches fish. Oh so he’s a fisherman. Yeah. And that’s how it will be for the rest of his life. He’ll be rough and coarse and used to the struggle because […]
Read More Who We Are and What We DoYou lied, despite all that was promised. You should have known better, but you completely denied all that and blatantly lied. That should have left you out of it. Yet you were still remembered and the promise was fulfilled. It could only be Unfailing Love. You tricked and schemed in a bid to let things […]

It’s good to be reminded of that, because from time […]
Read More A Good Time to be Reminded About …It is one of the most delightful pieces of text committed to manuscript. It’s an outline of what love is and it is the kind of love that transcends what a lot of times we think it is. This passage was read at the wedding of my wife and I and I have also heard […]

It’s a home located in the city of Stoke-on-Trent, a city towards the upper Midlands of the country between two of the main cities of the country in Manchester and Birmingham. This main room has […]
Read More The Story I Buy Into – All Things NewTheir allure is great at the start. The fire burns fierce. Then it ebbs, then it flickers, then it peters out. It was worth something at the start, but lost its value over time. Some would evoke feelings for it as though it was something grand, something brilliant, something with such an essence that drew […]
Read More Worth AdmiringMy wife and I were having a conversation recently. In it I was musing on how sad it is that no single person will ever know all there is to know about another individual. She concurred that it would be impossible for that to happen, but not in the sense that it’s necessarily a bad […]
