This blog is a collection of observations and insight paired with some wonderful photographs and bits of prose to enrich your life. It is a creative outlet of mine designed to ignite sparks of creative efforts in you. We can never forget that we are all in some way connected and no one stands alone.

Where to?

Yearn to trot around the globe? See the world? Man, have I've got news for you!

The world is small and easily traveled far and wide in comparison to Life. There are so many more places to go, so many more things to be and so many more chances to do it all. I was telling God how much I wanted to travel the world when He informed me that there were more places to go with my Life than there would ever be by plane or car or boat.

When you think about it, it's true.

Life can take you many places, not limited to geographical regions, unconstrained by time zones and differences, free from linear forms of travel from one destination to the next. In Life, we can be at a crossroad and a dead end at once; and in the same moment we can plunge into failure and then leap to success. The best part is that these Life travels don't cost us anything but the faith to take a risk. We don't have to fumble with tickets or luggage or wait on planes to arrive or ferries to leave. We come and go when and where we choose at our choosing. Emphasis on 'choosing.' Choice is our only vehicle. It runs on Faith, and the Hope of success.

So, where to next?

Life is HUGE


The truth is, most people simply can't handle how HUGE life is. So they get into trouble and create problems that force them into situations and decide things for them. They crave constraints because they're frightened of freedom.

Gift of Love


Oh, how He Loves us, indeed.

Every morning the sun shines for me.

And every night the moon rises to bathe my face in its silver light.

Every star awaits my wish, as a memento of my dreams.

Every bird sings to my heart's melody.

Every river flows and rushes to meet me.

Every flower beams at me to feed my eyes' delight.

Every wave crosses the sand to sit at my feet.

Every tree bends its branches to shelter my head.

Every cloud gloats on high to watch over me.

Mountains stand tall to guard my comings and goings.

Valleys bend low to make way for me.

The wind carries the sound of my voice far and wide.

The rains wash the world clean about me.

Each new day brings all of these things and sets them before me as a gift.

They are gifts from Him because of His love, and may I never forget it.
