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…

Am I alone in this?
An old couple holding hands. A child resting her head on her mother’s lap. Seeing an old friend. A daughter grabbing her father’s hand. There is so much warmth that comes to heart when thinking on these things. What do they have in common? They both involve more than one person being together. Also, it…

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…

Wanna Make Him Laugh?
There was quite a surprise waiting for me yesterday morning. It was snow! Huh? If you guessed it is spring, you would be correct! The occurrence of snow and the absence of sun, jarred my memory of a story I wanted to share. I had it all mapped out, ever since 6th grade. I would…

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…

We Finally Broke Up
No, this isn’t a ploy to get you to read; this time. Ha! If you’ve been following my long-winded, son-of-a-preacherman blog posts (lol), you would know that my “girlfriend” and I have been on tumultuous terms since about April. My “girlfriend” in this instance is my car. When we were introduced, she only had 63…

…let me count the ways.
Over the past few days, I have had the pleasure of doing something that was really special. I spent time with my family for Thanksgiving. Doesn’t sound so remarkable, does it? It was very special because our family was able to travel to Atlanta and spend time at my older brother’s house. For my father,…

Lead Your Thoughts
Man, things are really shaping up. My life is taking a turn with a humungous upswing. It’s not often that I get overly excited about things, but I’m certainly enjoying this ride. My personal goals are shaping up, I’m loving school like never before, and crooked roads are being straightened in my personal life (as…

Love Out Loud (Part 1)!
Greetings everyone! I am writing you from the basement -no, really. I’m tending to laundry. As I reflect on the occurrences of the past weekend, I have realized that I am blessed (yet again). My Momma and sisters came up to visit. Dad had a speaking engagement, and couldn’t come. They spent a couple of…

The Vision is Becoming Clearer
As I sit here in IHOP, listening to Stevie Wonder’s “Make sure you’re sure,” I am reminded that I have a bedtime. It took me all day to settle myself enough to write. It’s currently 21:52 and I’ll try to make this quick (yea, right). I do have school in the morning! In case you’re…
