A Joyful Life…a bit of my personal testimony…unedited and incomplete…
For His anger endureth but a moment; in His favor is life: Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

Good morning…
Howdy. I’m sitting at my kitchen table and sipping on my first cup of coffee. My wife, Chassidy and I have walked Casanova and Chunk this morning. Both dogs play underneath my feet as I write this.

Bad Writing Days and other randomness…unedited…
Good day, everyone. It’s just after six a.m. Normally, I’d post some part of a story I’m working on (like Public Service or Brynn the Bloody) but my mind hasn’t churned out the next part. Therefore, I am writing this hoping it jars loose the next portion of story. Brynn the Bloody came to me… Continue reading
