    Just to Vent

    That feeling of when it all comes together, you know, like when you were packed tightly in layers of warmth as a child, more than a pro snowball fort protector's compacting of ice. Yes, you were ready to face the day, the cold, and any contest-- but then, at just the wrong time, you needed "to...

    Just to Vent

    Walking through an aisle of dusty cob-web wearing books, I find myself wondering about the world closing in. But then in faith I look, while seeking for my answer, and watching in disgrace, I scour the literary labyrinth's hall for my longed escape. I can pretend. I can distract. I can...

    Just to Vent

    Random vent, after flood events around the world, and when inundating news updates follow unpredictable paths, but with predictable characteristics. Billions of stories exist, but the same topic envelops the majority of news coverage, no matter the political or economic take. Note, this is...

    Just to Vent

    Late, under one tar-sodden sky, a wayfaring figure stepped into found light. The dark's tear in seams brought day into night. Revealing a climb up pit-fallen heights. Slight, past the hours on watch, two strode together while befuddled in thought. They sloshed through the oil, clothes were...

    Praise: Considering alternatives

    If I was not over-medicated with pain meds, then I was in pain. I did not enjoy much of the day and so, in a place of privacy, I started to grumble. Then I grumbled that I was grumbling to God. But then God reminded me of the alternatives. "Hey, at least you can ____. Hey, enjoy whatchya got...

    What to give and where?

    I do not know how exactly i got there. But I found a site with a child to adopt through a Christian agency. I will not name it, because it is not my intention to advertise or solicit. Instead, I ask for discernment on how to give to the cause. I have seen it before, know people who gave or give...

    Praise: Room for prayer

    I walked into work early and due to limited hours I had to clock out sooner. This led to a Friday night I normally do not get off of work. So, afterwards, God brought to my mind a pesky swath of invitations to attend a different church for prayer. I almost let it go by, but God drove me there. I...

    Praise: Heaven cents

    I am working on a special notebook, scrapbook, collection of ideas and experiences. And I needed different resources to be able to create on the fly, rather than when convenient. Therefore, it was a great surprise that I found an old retail card with more than enough to get the supplies wanted...

    Praise: the waiting (on others) room

    I was in a waiting room and many people bypassed me and got through sooner. It is likely they were flu related, which mine was a precaution. Anyways, at one point a lady who was experiencing the same phenomenon decided to make a fuss about it, and it kind of riled me up-- had I the energy...

    Praise: Half n half

    I was working on a scrapbook, when I realized that I needed to cut a ball into halves. It was a blue and black soccer ball. Well, because I was sitting in a McDonalds at the time, I asked someone for a pocket-knife. The first man I asked was full of kindness, but he did not have what I was...

    Praise: Outlet conversation

    Someone approached me and offered me an ongoing work opportunity. I was seated by the window and working on a notebook/scrapbook, when the young man asked around for the nearest outlet. Of course, I welcomed the stranger, but it led to a preplanned spiel, sounding like a peddler trying to make...

    Praise: Missionary's vibe

    As I worked hard to please I took note the kindness in one man's voice. His spirit was one of peace, even giving it. Well, I was at work, so I could not stop at the time I noticed. About twenty to thirty minutes later, I asked the man, "Are you a pastor, or studying to be one?" He replied...

    Praise: He stopped me

    I was in the right vehicle, but I was in the wrong frame of mind. I was about to turn; however, I noticed a sign. I opted to follow the directions, but I never intended on getting hit. Just like that, my vehicle was rammed by a Whoknowswhat, a much larger automobile, and I was stopped on the...

    Praise: Relating to the sermon

    For some reason the holidays are an extreme headache for me. The origin to this pain is a family member. Few special occasions were not ruined or blemished because of one's antics, and this year has been no different. Except, there was a message pointedly sent to my heart, while I drove way in...
