I guess I have finally figured it out. Everything is without savor to me. I have lost love. Life is in the mundane. I crave little spiritually. I have no motivation to pursue much more than I have, though I want so much more. I am up late at […]

“Oh Lord, give thy servant this mornin’ the eyes of the eagle and the wisdom of the owl; connect his soul with the gospel telephone in the central skies; illuminate his brow with the Sun of Heaven; possess his mind with the love for the people; turpentine his imagination; grease his lips with possum oil; […]

This post is mainly for men — real men. Men who what to fight for beauty. I am sure you all know of women who have been injured. Injured though abuse, bad marriages, disrespect and dishonor by other men or family members. Women who have been mishandled by their dad’s because […]

The spirit is willing the flesh is still weak
Corpses lay rotting corpses still reek
Walk in the flesh and your members of sin
Determine your place your death in the end
Kill the sarx

I have grown weary. Weary of the Microsoft juggernaut. With all due respect to all my friends that work there, I have to say that my era of running Windows is crashing to a halt (how appropo). I have used Windows since v. 2.0. I am not bashing its basic capabililties, […]

I am seeing more and more people, followers of Christ included, jumping on the global warming bandwagon. If we are to believe AlGore and all of his hapless media suckers, we’ll sink into the ocean within the coming years and seep into extinction.

She sits hunched over, and half-naked in her wheelchair. She is emaciated from years of cancer treatments, 17 to be exact. Her face exudes sadness and frustration. A triple break in her hip has constrained her mobility. She is struggling to get ready for bed, relying on me for help. […]

it is also a mysterious thing.
There God and the Devil
strive for mastery,
and the battleground
is the heart of men.
Dostoevsky
