I know my place. I’m the loyal one. I know my place. I’m the dependable one. I know my place. I’m the one you know will be there. I know my place. Everything has a home. A space where it belongs. I know my place. I follow the rules. I know my place. I’m notContinue reading “My Place”

Once there was Darkness
Chapter 3 As Kol set preparing for yet another council meeting, his thoughts began to wonder. No amount of effort could help him focus on the task ahead. As he stood up, the room started to spin. He pushed the chair out of the way not realizing it made a loud noise. Regaining his balanceContinue reading “Once there was Darkness”
A town called Mercy
Our pray group does “Monday School” lessons instead of Sunday School. When I was asked to write these, I had to do a tall lot of praying. 1. Because I’m still young in the faith. My knowledge base isn’t very deep. 2. I don’t want to say the wrong things to actually kill someone curiosityContinue reading “A town called Mercy”
Once there was Darkness
Chapter 2 What was worse; the lack of sleep or dreaming? At this point Kol dreaded sleep. Sleep meant dreams. His body needed sleep. His mind didn’t need to dream. When the dream started there were no images, only voices. “My king, I would like to develop a way for you and the Bejhar toContinue reading “Once there was Darkness”

He looked at Max, whose face was reflecting his own expression. “Dad, you can’t be serious?” “Why can’t I?” “I find it hard to believe.” “Believe and answer.” “You’ve met a thousand times, at least.” “That’s twice I’veContinue reading “Once there was Darkness”
10th Street
I pass this sign almost every day. Attention, I do not pay. After 2 years of passing this sign; in my mind, I resign- to the fact I can’t remember. A dying ember. 10th Street, nothing grand. Attention, it does not command. Who fell in love under the 10th street sign? Who said, ‘this spotContinue reading “10th Street”
Once there was Darkness
Introduction Once there was Darkness is a story that I have been working on for a long time. My journey to Christianity has been a roller coaster. I tried to pepper this story with Bible verses and religious vibes to help me along my path. I’m only going to post small sections at a timeContinue reading “Once there was Darkness”
Notes
Really?!
Is there anything worse than standing in line at the grocery? Especially when you’re on your lunch break; every lane is taken by people with carts overflowing with food. Even the 15 items or less lanes. Heaven forbid that stores enforce the 15 items or less policy. Because we want the almighty dollar, we aren’tContinue reading “Really?!”
