I never thought of myself as a writer, but when the writer’s club started meeting at my smoothie shop, I did not hesitate to join in. I discovered instead that I was passionate about sharing ideas and most importantly sharing God’s love. If you read something I have written, I want to thank you for sharing your time with me and I pray I write something that will be meaningful to you.

In case you didn’t guess it already, I am a fan of Lord Of the Rings. In it, Bilbo wanted to go back and revisit all of the places from his previous adventure. It sounded like an excellent idea to reminisce days gone by and remember the danger, the victories, and the hard-won friendships. However, from my perspective, re-living the pain and discomfort, the hot, sweaty days and never ending cravings from my first weight loss adventure does not sound…

I never set a goal unless it seems impossible to achieve. This process makes me focus on the goal. Now! Makes the goal seem worthy of pursuit. A plan is formed and action is taken. Plans are modified as the goal is pursued. The deadline is not as important as the energetic pursuit of it.

In society, it often seems that everyone wants money, yet everyone assumes the “rich” are greedy, evil, or doing something illegal. However, there is a big different between greed and prosperity. Some of the rich are one, and some are the other. Greed means you get what you want no matter the cost to others. Prosperity means you are blessed with gain by helping others.

You are as the sun and I as the moon We are so close and intertwined Yet, a vast distance keeps us apart We rely on one another But we are never to touch Never to cross that line The light I shine is but a mere reflection of you You give me purpose It is for you that I rise each night I follow you wherever you may go I cross the oceans I climb the mountains I lose…

I rode the wave, moving up and down where ever it took me. Not on a boat, nor floating on top. No, I was like a drop of water, powerless to control my destiny. I migrated to the top and the sun’s rays beat down on me mercilessly, not caring of my agony. Then, I sunk to the deepest darkest bottom, blind to what was around me, yet feeling the darkness penetrate my very soul. Suddenly, I was thrown upon…

It came as an attack on my mind. It forced the pen into my hand, and the movements began involuntarily at first. My will to fight it was waning. It was less painful to simply let it take control and move whichever way it lead. I did not know the ending, for I could not see that far ahead. My vision was limited to only a few words into the future. It feared I could not keep up if more…

I can create worlds with the stroke of my pen. Then, with an eraser, I can make them disappear and create something entirely different, something new. Perhaps this new world will be better than the former, but perhaps not. One might wonder where such great power comes from, but I can not tell you, for I scary know. My imagination simply takes off at a run in which my mind scrambles to translate into words and my hands ache at…
