“Not that far away there was a church, and its gilt roof gleamed in the bright sun. He remebered that he gazed with terrible intensity at that roof and the rays of sun that sparkled from it; he could not take his eyes from those rays of light; it seemed to him this light was […]
God that is.ÂÂ
One of the requirements of my current work is that I am certified in Microsoft Small Business Server. So, for the past six months, I have been doing online coursework and personal study to take this exam.ÂÂ
Morning after morning
Day after day
Life goes on
In the same old way
No variation
Or so it seems
Sometimes we realize
Our nightmares
Not our dreamsÂÂ
From Ping Pong Over The Abyss - The 77s
So there I was, sitting in a local Mexican restaraunt in Lynnwood, WA, eating my enchilada platter, alone, on my 1/2 hour lunch break. And I wondered, what […]
Took the test. Tuesday AM. Felt like I did well. Results showed differently. I failed it. Have another chance on Friday. I fail again, and I am fired from my current job. Your fervent prayers would be appreciated. And maybe some fasting. If you have some leftover ashes scattered around somewhere, rub some on yourself. But only […]
Please pray. I will be taking the Microsoft Small Business Server certification exam tomorrow (Tuesday) at 9am PST. It is part of a requirement for my current employment. If I don’t pass it, I get terminated. Positive motivation??
I have been trying like mad to move away from more technical pursuits for the past few years. […]
When I was with my last girlfriend, we spent Sunday’s together. We went to church, made brunch, cleaned up, rested, went on hikes with her great boys. Those days are gone for now. As I recover from this sadly broken relationship, I find Sundays hard. Lonely. Not worshipping with the one I loved. Not hanging […]
This is not the end of the road
it goes on for maybe miles and miles
this is not the time to give up hope
but it’s easier said than done
it’s easier to give up and run
it’s easier
don’t believe it
it’s a lie
don’t believe it
don’t you even try

Today, after two weeks without my own car, I got it back. It got hit, back in February, by a person backing out of the driveway at my parents house where I was visiting. As you can see, before I got all the stuff worked out with the culprit’s insurance company, it took close to […]
I’m a man but I’m no superman
I’m who I am and I do the best I can
On sinking sand from my worst laid plans ÂÂ
Last night, as I spoke with a group of guys that I hang out with regularly, the question came up of what makes an adult male feel like a grown up man, […]
The scent of your loved one, as you nuzzle their neck.
Warm, Gardenia-scented, tradewinds flowing off the Pacific on a pristine Maui beach.
The sizzle of a juicy steak.
The deep satisfaction of being loved by another.
The beauty, or handsomeness, that draws us to another.
The fiery red hues of hazy mountains at sunset.
The graceful lines of a vintage Ferrari.
The […]
