Future Hopes

The future exists continually in our hearts and in our minds. The problem we encounter is when we put a date to our hopes and the future does not arrive exactly as expected. It is at that point disappointment is experienced. However, if we simply leave the future where it once was, there is always hope for tomorrow, whichever tomorrow it may fall on.

If there is a God, then why do bad things happen?

It is the age old argument against the existence of God. Bad things happen. Of course, believers can turn to His word, the Holy Bible and know that we should NOT be surprised when bad things happen as if it were some strange thing, for this world is full of sin (See I Peter 4:12). Sin causes bad things to happen. Let’s take what is considered one of the “simplest” of sins if you will. Coveting. In this day and…

It is the existential question that has plagued mankind for generations. “Is there a God?” Perhaps the reason we struggle with such the question is that we ask this of people as if an all powerful, all knowing being could be summed up in any amount of words.

It was only moments before I was on a train to dreamland, living a life of unimaginable adventure when I was snatched back to reality by a series of loud crashes, groans, and cussing.

From that moment on, my eyes were wide…

Lonely Companions

Authors are never really alone for they have hundreds if not thousands of characters with them all of the time. Of course, authors can get lonely, especially when the characters refuse to speak or tell them where the story is going. Then, the author is even more depressed for all of his companions seemed to have turned their back on him at least for the moment.
