Five photos, two scriptures, a song, and a bad day made good…
So I had a “bad day” today. I know it sounds silly, but I did. Everyone has them from time-to-time, and today was my turn. It’s a very busy week for me at work and in my personal life and stress can really affect me in a negative way. I tend to internalize things. TheContinue reading “Five photos, two scriptures, a song, and a bad day made good…”

Thoughts on prayer (and what it means to me)
This is the second in a series I started a little over a month ago on positive scripture (click here to read the first). But first I have to state a very short disclaimer. I’ve said this before but feel I have to say it again. My personal theology is…um, well. Scratch that. Actually IContinue reading “Thoughts on prayer (and what it means to me)”

Death By Advertising

Things That Can be Carried on a Bike (#389)…and a bit of positive graffiti
On the bike…a canvas bag containing a laptop computer, two books, a notebook, a journal, a cell phone, and a camera (amongst other items). I’ve photographed my bike at this location before. It’s a vacant building (obviously) and it’s colors and structure make for a nice backdrop (I think). The steel door behind the bikeContinue reading “Things That Can be Carried on a Bike (#389)…and a bit of positive graffiti”
A Garden of Eden in Hell
The above image is that of Alice Herz-Sommer, who is also the interviewee in the below short but very inspiring video. At 108 years young she is the oldest known living Holocaust survivor. A few years ago–at the age of 104–she wrote a book called A Garden of Eden in Hell, retelling her amazing lifeContinue reading “A Garden of Eden in Hell”
