I didn’t like what I saw in the mirror. In my distaste I turned away from it and blamed everyone and everything else for what I saw. I looked again and blamed myself bitterly for being the architect of this ugliness. In it all it never occurred to me to question the perspective from which […]
Read More Reflect On ItHeads up. This is not the deep, meaningful blog entry you might be looking for from the title. Today I had planned to attend a concert at a church facility with a few friends of mine. The concept of the event was encouraging intimacy in worship. Unfortunately I damaged my left wrist and right thumb […]
Read More Coping With DisappointmentIt’s not that I have been completely mute. There have been times when I have seen the vow of silence as a positive thing. Essentially, though, I have not been mute in that time. What I have done is gathered a new found love for headphones. I don’t love headphones because they block out others. On the […]

I don’t watch a lot of TV at all, but I was very much taken with the plot and characters in this story. I particularly like the development of the lead character Oliver Queen from a young playboy relying on his parents’ big […]
Read More Aiming Arrows AccuratelyThe worse thing is – they mean well. You know what I mean. Those people with annoying, irritating aspects of character but aren’t deliberately being so.

Read More Acknowledging An AlternativeThere’s a stereotypical presentation of a movie set that I recall.
