Moods Are A Choice

I am a hypochondriac! If its anything bad. My path will always become poisoned. I allow everything around me to shape my moods. But is that being fair to God? That's like walking into a Home Depot and never putting fuel in the chainsaw then complaining that it doesn't work.

Coffee Verus Jesus Who Wins

We love getting high. High off caffeine. High on religion. But in most places of business. Latching onto a Jesus fix can be an invitation to visit the wonderful people in Human Resources. And f you're like me... Too much coffee cause acid reflux and the end result is a 25 dollar bottle of Zantac. Sooo where do we go to get a rush? That high! The internet. To vent everything negative. And the problem is... we're getting away with it.

Tomorrow's Stories Started Yesterday

When you've been chosen to write. Most wanna walk away. The expectations are too big. Judgement from friends and family too heavy. The idea of being a writer is a lifelong journey of chance versus fate. In the middle of every step is a new word. A new idea. A misguided wonder. But how true are you to the creator that gave you the story? Is this a mission of wanting to be published or a goal to hear the true vision before others can see it?

Withdrawal 2014

Giving up something that totally makes your world rock is going to cause withdrawals. They hurt. You shake. You instantly become angry. You have no time for anybody but trying to figure out new ways to feed that emptiness.

The Dick The Dork And The Deer

The rules were made to change. No matter how many bad calls are being made by man made refs and umpires. The strength to make your own call. To keep peace and not incite unrest is the invisible way to sell your soul.

The Blank In Your Stare

It is a strange but true world. So strange and true that its become nearly next to flu like to say, "I am blank. I have no feelings." And yet your eyes tell a different story. If your eyes are the window to your soul. What then gives while in communication? Blank is not the new black.

Write Versus Right

Are we spending way too much time trying to "Right" what we assume is wrong? What is "Right" when everything feels wrong? How can you push yourself through a mountain of doubt if everything you feel is "Right" doesn't agree with those "Wronging" your life?

Barbed Wired Fences

Perception versus actualization. How can business and the pleasure of being part of a family exist when everything we do is perceive? We are the butt of every joke but refuse to admit in the mirror. Every generation before us is painfully laughing. Because they can't cry anymore. You've blamed your reasons for being you on them.

God's Call

Preacher's around the world brag of how God made the call. How God pushed them into religion. How God bolted their souls to the front door of a church they'll never leave. Spiritually speaking. God makes the call to every one. Even if you aren't a planter of peace. You still have a message. No matter what your choices are. The call doesn't always have to be about... the book.

Dreams versus Trash

Staircases... Your life is a series of steps. Which direction are you going?

Pen To Paper To Bookstore

What if what you write had a deeper purple other than fill a trash can? Sleepless nights? Really? Maybe you should be asking about who is trying to speak through you.

The Book Of Black Crow

Black crows love to make a lot of noise in the morning. Why? What are they saying? Don't they care about you not getting enough sleep last night? What does it mean when the crow steps onto your path? Is it to be yelled at? What if God uses his other living creations to continue spreading his incredible message?

Too Inside For God's Reality

What you think is impossible and lost forever. Has a strange way of walking up to you during a moment of extremely few expectations. No matter how old you are. No matter how thick your skin or long your dreams. Life hands you a fist full of family members. And even fewer friends. Friends that begin to drop off the path due to a desire to be successful. Friends that should've been born into your family but... you know... that success thing has a way of grabbing you by the nads and saying, "There is only one way." Then one day your paths cross unexpectedly. And the only emotion you share is laughter.

Get God In Your Head

In martial arts we are trained: Wherever your head is... so shall the body flow. Then why do so many try to stuff God into their hearts?

The Evolution Of Sand

The process of invitation must include change. Instantly we run! Quickly we hide. Change? Nobody likes change. Yet without change there would be no smart phones. What if your life, your experiences and doubts blessed with fear and shame. Are part of a giant rock that God needs to turn into sand? Sand that rubs up against another shore. What if the process of invitation includes what you have lived to be a learning tool for others to breathe?

20 Years Of Daily Writing

What started out as a letter to my sister Margaret has turned into twenty years of daily writing. God finds ways to communicate. The choice is based on whether you've decided to listen. It's not easy! I mean to wake up every day and put pen to paper! And yet... if I don't. Where does God's voice go to be heard? Is it God speaking through me? That sounds totally ego based! Cuz I ain't one of those crazy preachers that scream, "God told me to touch the hand of a lost man." What is lost in a society that brags of having everything?

Ancestors In A Digtal Age

Who shaped you? Wouldn't it be nice to think it was the end result of a very beautiful evening? I never want to know what created me! I never truly met my father. He was there for three years. Which makes me think... maybe I was the end result of make up sex. No human heart can withstand the pressure of how it is they came into being. And yet we are told to follow the trail put into the earth by way of ancestors. Really?

Why So Much Hype In Hypnotize

Seriously...is it really July already? How did we get here so fast? Why is life moving and the rest of me can't catch up? Who is hypnotizing you? What if its you?

The Ballad Of God And HR

The weather patterns this summer are mind blowing. Even more powerful are the accusations against God. How dare the creator do this to your July 4th weekend!!! With the way we like to complain. God would be hauled into Human Resources and reprimanded for his weather behavior.

Stop Saying I'm Sorry

Too many times during the average business day coworkers and friends are allowed to beat the hell out of your emotions followed by the quick, "I'm sorry." Too many times during the average week we accuse ourselves of being forgetful. We've lost our memory. Seriously? My new book Scrambled Eggs is about a man that had his memory taken away. But damn him! He won't convince himself to quit making new ones.
