I just told my mom and dad that I loved them. They’re no longer with us, but that’s okay. They still heard me. My mother and father did the best they could raising my siblings and me. They did the best they could with what they knew and with what they had in them. And [...]

A Future, A Hope
I made it. I weathered the storm and I made it. And I can see clearly that I do have a promising future. I am filled with hope and with a new-found joy in my spirit that I don’t recognize as ever having had before. I like it and I could certainly get used to [...]
The Wrath of the “Christian”
I have heard people say that if we end our own life we will go to hell. I disagree. When a person feels such unbearable pain in their souls that they literally cannot stand to live anymore, to feel, or to be around people, why would God cast them into yet another hell? He wouldn’t. [...]
Truth: Better Than Fiction
I am a very real person. I am about as transparent as a person can be. Some of you may appreciate that while others may wish I would pretend to be a fictitious character in their minds, like Superman, maybe. Someone who doesn’t hurt or care, or even weep on occasion. I can’t pretend anymore. [...]
The President of the United States Said He Was Proud of Me
My own father never told me those words, but George W. Bush did. Many people don’t agree with former President Bush’s policies, etc., but I watched him and I knew he had an excellent heart. He is a good man. He’s a good person and so is his wife, Laura. I appreciate kindness and mercy [...]
I Prefer Liquid Friends
You probably shouldn’t read this if you’re one of those uppity or overly-religious people who get offended by everything. Or if you can’t handle the truth. I am wondering if anyone else believes that a good, stiff drink makes you feel better than some of our friends do at times. I do. I don’t mean [...]
Wasted Life
I literally cannot stand Facebook. I deactivated my account a couple days ago and that felt good. I did it for a few other reasons, but mostly because I have sunk about as low as a person can right before they take that final “step”. I won’t take that step, though, because I love my [...]
Being Unemployed Isn’t Sexy
“What do you do for work?” “I’m a police officer”. “What agency are you with?” “None at the moment.” Sounds attractive, doesn’t it? Not really. It’s actually quite embarrassing and humiliating, but I know I am not alone. I know many of us don’t have jobs right now. That is just wrong and I am [...]
I Need A Sign
One of the most difficult things we can ever do is to wait on God to bring us justice. But it’s the right thing to do and our time will come. Many of us have been lied about and mistreated, but God sees everything and those wrongs will not go unnoticed or without God taking [...]
Missing Piece: Integrity
Where has integrity gone? Integrity, to me, is one of the finest qualities a person can have. These days, unfortunately, it’s also the most rare. When we tell someone we’re going to meet them someplace, we should not only show up, but be on time. When we promise to help a friend move, rain or shine, [...]
