You couldn’t hide from it Most horrific things People take their own lives Won’t watch Ghostlike before the collapse Then it all turned black You couldn’t get out Can’t watch Many people crying and shouting Evacuated to make way For the injured or dead Don’t watch This is a found poem that I had to...

Head Vs. Heart
Has there ever been a point in life where you have a had a big decision that could affect the rest of your life? Has it felt like your heart tells you one way, but your head tells you the other? What do you do? Do you follow your heart and do what you truly love... Continue Reading →
The Gospel of Genesis
I have been attempting to write this post for well over a week now. I knew what I wanted to write about. I have had many thoughts on what I wanted to say. I simply could not find a way to join these thoughts into any sort of coherent order. For the last few... Continue Reading →
Monday Musings: 40 Photos Part 2
A few weeks ago I wrote about a Lenten photo-a-day challenge that I was in the middle of. Or I thought I was in the middle of...but the someone who made up the challenge didn't know to actually stop at 40 and went to 46. At times it seemed like the last day was creeping... Continue Reading →
Monday Musings: Appreciation
Today our middle school PTSA hosted an appreciation event for the staff, something we've been doing once a quarter. This time it was an afternoon tea to accompany an after school staff meeting. Our events aren't catered, they're not fancy but there's lots of homemade goodies. This fall we hosted a taco bar for dinner... Continue Reading →
Monday Musings: 40 Photos

Sometimes it's a verb, sometimes a noun. Sometimes there's an obvious image that comes to mind, sometimes I have... Continue Reading →
50 Shades of Hate
I have a confession to make. It's not something of which I'm terribly proud. It is, however, a part of who I am. I am a racist. I am a homophobe. These are not statements you normally hear someone say about themselves. These are not goals to which most (civilized) people aspire. And, if you... Continue Reading →
Monday Musings: Getting the Horse to Drink
So you probably know of or have a horse that you can get to the water...either willingly or kicking and screaming. But once there, the horse refuses to drink. Maybe the horse isn't thirsty yet...so time goes by...maybe it should be thirsty now, but still refuses to drink. So more time goes by...the horse has to... Continue Reading →
“world”
I just posted entry #8 to my Facebook page...#8 out of 40...should I complete the challenge. The challenge is to take a photo each day of Lent, each day having a word that the photo needs to represent. Two days ago, Monday, the word was "world". What to do for that? We have a globe...

Monday Musings: Team
Team...a group of people working together towards a common goal. Typically the image of a sports team comes to mind. But words like group, committee, task force, etc can be substituted for the word team. Team goals may vary from winning a contest of some type, doing research and presenting the findings, developing something, or... Continue Reading →
