To "lament" is not a common term these days, so if you are patient, the definition goes somewhat like this. Romeo meets and falls in love with Rosaline, but Rosaline instantly shuns Romeo. Romeo becomes melancholy and laments even knowing her. Romeo expresses his deep sorrow or "lamentations," and the author explains his grief by …
Things are Getting Weird
The scenery is lush. The grounds of this manufactured city are filled with fruit filled plams, a vast variety of flowers, lighted foliage, modern sculptures, and artificial grass. It is all so beautiful and surreal. The unconscious mind is the usual wellhead of my imagination. But the fantasy I'm seeing now is more than a …
The Hand that Humbles
In the Old Testament, people fell back into their sins quite often. They did not learn well. So God sent oppressors or judges to rule over them. These foreigners made the Isrealites' lives miserable, and God saw to it that they understood the lostness of their ways. In one case, for eighteen years, they were …
If the Shepards Sleep
Based on the information available to me and in good faith, I believed the election of Joe Biden was illegitimate and I've said so publically. Today, I still believe shenanigans took place! Should I be indicted too? Shouldn't the administration be more concerned about the policies that have taken down our nations credit rating, increased …
Genuine Love
Thank you all for the kind words, deeds, and prayers for Jackie and he mother. It is finished. Barbara Kletzien is with the Lord. She left us peacefully with her children at her side. I'll not describe the whole sacred affair, but I will tell you one thing I learned of deep importance. After a …
Evil Days Ahead
I've been meaning to write this for quite some time. In fact, it's been on my mind for months. I've been trying to describe in my head and to you "the end of the world as we know it." The complete destruction of society, our political system, and our country. Of course, we all know …
This much?
A dear friend sent me this message a couple of days ago, "My son is dead," it read. There were a few more details, but none beyond this initial phrase was important. Her message reminded me of the day my younger brother was shot and killed. The message was harsh, the pain worse. It didn't …
Our dream Cruise of a Lifetime
A while back when our good friends Jim and Genevieve invited us to join them on a cruise onboard the Princess Discovery. Genevieve, a Las Vegas entertainer, and in my opinion, a singer as good as Whitney, was hired along with the legendary group The Platters to preform for a private Doo Wop cruise onboard. …
Hurry Home It’s Quiet Here
My wife is visiting her mother and I'm alone at home for the next two weeks. While I miss her dearly, and would much more desire her presence, it is always a good time to reflect, to work with my hands, and detach myself from the world. It's been almost a week now and I've …
Super Bowl Sunday
Are you thinking about football, chips and salsa, beer, commercials and touchdowns? Not me. I woke up at 5 am and craved, but it was God's word that I looked forward to. Touchdowns are fun and commercials are interesting but nothing brings me more joy than learning about and writing about Jesus. So I read …
