manos que moldean (hands that mold)
I was praying today and I found myself thanking God for molding me into some kinda man. I say that because I can’t describe it any other way. I am amazed at who I am becoming. I react differently to different situations now. Freaking out is not my first reaction. My faith is deeper. My…

Birds of a feather….
There’s a strange occurrence in my life: I have friends. Before you think I’m going nuts, just hear me out. I had a complex for much of my life: I thought that no one could out-give me, out of my group of friends. Honestly, I felt like no one could love like I could, and…

All that I can say
Over the past week or so, the word communication has been coming back up. The interesting thing about communication is that it requires willingness. You have to be willing to share your thoughts. Sometimes, though, it isn’t that simple. I used to be the type of person who would “bite his tongue until it bled,”…

Hi. My name is Herbie.
I have been amazed at so many things this summer. I’ve done things that I had put off doing for quite a while. I’ve done other things that I never thought I’d do. As a result, I’ve left myself vulnerable to a host of new experiences. There’s a common thread through it all. It’s called…

What isn’t, is.
This has been one of the best summers I’ve ever had. I was on vacation for about a month. I saw old friends and met new ones. About midway through my tour, I spent about 2 weeks with most of my nuclear-family. It was great. We laughed, got on each other’s nerves and everything in…

Holding on for dear life: Part 2
This is a continuation from last week’s post (Holding on for dear life)…… …..”You’ll be alr….” WOOSH!!! My muscles immediately tensed up, as I closed my eyes. It was such an intense force, that the drop lifted me completely out of my seat! I could feel my body only being held down by the shoulder…

Can it all be so simple?
Who knows what the day will bring? My prayer is that I am prepared to handle everything that I may encounter. The other day was one of the times I barely made it out alive. One of my former students came by to me see after school. I hadn’t seen this student in about 8…

Truth Serum Alpha
So, I had a discussion with my brother the other day that I’m going to write through to make some sense of it. I apologize in advance if this sounds like a one-sided post. But hey, who am I kidding? It normally does. Lol. I’m at a strange place in my life. I’ve always been…

Abstinence: The best form of contraception
Welp folks, I’m back! Did you miss me? Wait, don’t answer that. I decided in December that I was going to take a month “off” to figure a few things out. I’m sorry I didn’t let you know. I’ll try not to let it happen again (there’s no punch line, really). It is was a…

The Year’s End
Alas, we are alone. Just you and me….and every other person who will read this. Okay, okay. You get the point. LOL. This year has been tortuously amazing. I’ve had the unfortunate, yet necessary pleasure of losing a few things along the way. The interesting conundrum about losing such things is that I feel like…
