A light snow at sunrise, illuminated by the late Autumn trees in the background. This moment in time is what I call God’s paint brush, to show us there are things in life that only He can do.

I Want to be Free
It seems just about everywhere you look these days people are saying they want to be free, or they want their freedoms. But, I’m wondering if everyone has the same meaning of what freedom is? Freedom n. The condition of not being in prison […]
Sky
During my morning coffee, the sky changed like every two minutes over the course of one hour. So too my thoughts.
Forgiveness and Obedience
I think these words are both simple yet profound, because they are easy to understand and agree with, yet not so easy to live: Forgiveness is releasing the other person from the debt that they owe you. Forgiveness does not mean that what they […]
Sunday Silence: Birds
Sunday is a day for silence. And on this Sunday in 2019 the silence pales to the sound of birds singing in the tree branches. ….
Kindness
Many times we, including myself, tend to judge people based on how we see a situation before or without being fully educated about the matter or understanding fully the people involved. When people hurt us with their words or actions, especially family members or […]
Email is the Original Social Media
With my last blog post, I talked about how using blogs and MeWe are an alternative to the big tech option of information suppression social media. This post I would like to add how Email is the original social media, and I make the […]
The DIgital World, Respond or React.
In the digital world of social media, websites and blogs, mailing list providers and servers, there seems to be an increased amount of delatforming, suppression, and censoring, by companies known as ‘big tech’. Many people seem to be reacting by staying on the platforms […]
Tree Tops Minimalism
Have you ever thought about what it might be like to be a leaf at the top of a tree? … Or do I have too much time on my hands?
Keep Your Focus
This beautiful moment in time came and went in less than twenty minutes, yet it is one of those moments that you steal some time to notice God’s creation, that He is still in control. The thought that came to mind, though, before I […]
Your E-Mail Address and Your Identity
Where you live online has become more important than your street address offline, unless you have packages delivered to you. Specifically, your e-mail address says more about you, and moves with you, than any other identity we can have. Because whether or not you […]
Artists, Photography, and Blogs
Social media was intended to be a place where good people of all walks of life are free to express themselves and share opinions authentically. With the widespread censorship we’re currently witnessing runs contrary to this purpose. Likewise, it is a false myth that […]
The Secret to Finding True Rest
While growing up, several members of my family would take a nap in the middle of the day. It was called a ‘power nap’ that would help you to be alert and focused for the rest of the day. But another concept that I […]
Do You Lie To Yourself?
While growing up I used to lie all the time, until about my college days, because I had low self esteem, short of the long, and I wanted to be accepted by everyone. Then I realized how exhausting it was to remember what lie […]
People Don’t Like What I Say
In this digital age we have many choices from social media, to e-mail and mailing list, and even blogs, to write our thoughts. But the thing I often hear from people is they have fear of sharing their thoughts because people won’t like what […]
Faith, Prayer, and Politics.
Sometimes our prayers, with good intentions, don’t seem to make a dent in things, other times we see change, and yet other times prayers are meant to change us to see God’s wisdom in each matter. But the important thing is that, no matter […]
Letting Anger Go
How do we handle our emotions? First we admit them. Second we refuse to let anger control us. Third we ask ourselves key questions, if we should act on it (by talking to the person) or let it go. Anger should be treated as […]
The Beauty of Fog and Mist
There is something about fog that is both beautiful yet mysterious or challenging. Have you ever heard someone say “I need to get through the fog on that” or “this problem has me in the fog”?? Fog is simply condensed water vapor in cloud […]
I Make a Case for Writing My Blog on Vivaldi
I just read a book by Glenn Reynolds, “The Social Media Upheaveal”. He says that we are deep reading less, and learning from headlines more. He also says that many of us share on social media articles that we have not read, more so […]
A Country of Immigrants
The United States is a county made up of immigrants. Many immigrants I talk with say the USA is the greatest country in the world. It’s a land of opportunity. A place where, through hard work, dreams do come true. In my view, every […]
How Do You Get The Talent That You Pay for?
There is this argument among freelancers and contractors, that when you pay for their services that you’re not paying for the service time as much as you pay for the years of experience that brought them to providing their service. I think you pay […]
