Average, not to be confused with generic. First off, I am not a fan of the word average. It always seems to carry the connotation of some person who does not exist, because no one is totally average. Some thing about each one of us will go against average (or normalcy), and some people seem […]
If you look on the About page, you’ll see it said that what you see here are thoughts that stayed in one of our heads long enough to be put into words. But what happens to all the thoughts that get away (fish story thoughts), or that we never realize are there (ninja thoughts)? The […]
For several years, I have been stashing thoughts like you see on this blog. It started out being for a website that I worked on, but it continued from there. What you are about to read, should you choose to accept it, was born out of that process. When you get up in the morning, […]
This week is challenging me to think about spiritual beings. We readily accept Jesus Christ as our King and the fact that He cast out demons. Yet, when we see some one who may or may not be possessed we say they’ve gone crazy, no second thought, they’re just crazy. What’s been challenging to me is a […]
It is fairly common for us to think that our problems are unique, never before experienced by anyone else, at least, not in the same circumstances. We even go so far as to tell others that they have no idea what we’re going through. They may not, and we make no effort to tell them. […]

A word of warning, though these are my thoughts, they are a review of the book “Enemies of the Heart” which I received for free from Waterbrook Multnomah in exchange for this review. Now, with the disclaimer out of the way, on to the post. I didn’t know quite what the book was going to […]
You can’t see the forest for the trees. I don’t know if you have ever been told that, I don’t think I have, but I have heard it several times. It sounds dumb at first, but I have often caught myself doing just that. I can’t see the big picture, because I’m focusing on all […]
Not sure what I am wanting to say here , and truth be known I may get looked down upon for what I am about to say. As a nation we have been too long saying, “Look at us. See what we are doing over here. We are helping this country,” or, “We are doing […]
When I was a young kid, I had chicken pox, like pretty much every other person I know did. Aside from the memory, which is vague, the only proof I have is a pockmark on my left knee. That mark is what is left of my favorite, um, chicken pock (you think that’s weird? This […]
