Live your faith, share your life.
A friend posted this article, The Suicide Epidemic by Tony Dokoupil, to her Facebook profile and strongly encouraged people to read it. I have quoted extensively from this substantive article, but please do not let that inhibit you from reading the entire article. There is so much more that Mr. Dokoupil includes in his article (including stories [...]
The four word + an exclamation review … That totally just happened … whoa. Last night HBO premiered the biopic Behind the Candelabra which was about the love affair between the closeted Liberace and his partner of six years Scott Thorson. Michael Douglas did an excellent job playing the somewhat shallow and narcissistic Liberace. The [...]
Yesterday is simply a blur. It was like living in a different universe for a day. When I woke up this morning it was very silent and calm. I wasn’t as numb as when I went to bed. But still not bouncing around the apartment with the usual half asleep quick pace of getting ready [...]
This is a status update I posted in the evening on January 1st 2013: As an older single person it’s hard to not feel like an after-thought or a fifth wheel sometimes. Even so, I have to assume the best and spend time with the One who is always near and available. A Facebook friend [...]

He died that you might die with Him and be freed from the tyranny of your flesh stirred up by the law. He desires to impart life to you that you might bear the fruit of the Spirit of God, and your law-keeping mentality is aborting that spiritual process over and over again. Law and grace do not mix!” (Pure Grace Page 61)
Via Kathy Koch’s blog: “Sport is where an entire life can be compressed into a few hours, where the emotions of a lifetime can be felt on an acre or two of ground, where a person can suffer and die and rise again on six miles of trails through a New York City park. Sport [...]
Recently a good friend of mine had a traumatic diagnosis of cancer given to his very dear brother. His brother has been given only six months to live. I am praying against that time limit by the way. Please join me in praying for “D” ( my friend ) and especially for “F” (his brother.) [...]
This post is the longest post I have ever put up on a blog. I thought about breaking it up but can’t bring myself to do that. It feels like it should all be kept together. While it isn’t a full on book , I hope you find it worth the time to read it. [...]
