Thank you, GL Cromarty for expressing my exact sentiments. If anyone has a soundproof chamber I could place in or near my home, I'm interested. It need only be big enough to sport a comfy chair and end table.

Writing: My Quest
When I read something amazing I think, wow, this author must be extraordinary to be able to create this world, these people, this conflict. The Bible says we can know God in this way too, that His invisible attributes are known by His workmanship: our world. On any given day I can be impressed with God's …
What I Would Say to Graduates of 2017
Graduates, this is good stuff. But not just for graduates, for anyone who sees life as still full of possibilities.
My Alarm Clock Told Me
My alarm clock told me it was time to wake up. But it didn't stop there. It went on to remind me about yesterday. I hit snooze. My mirror told me I look rather haggard lately. Getting old and ugly and hadn't you better work on your personality? The mirror disagreed strongly with my alarm clock. …
Writer Mind
I'm in the valley every writer goes through. I keep showing up day after day intending to make something amazing. If I were an artist, I'd be making stick people. If I were making dinner, it would be haggis. If I were conjuring up an animal, it would be a platypus. Sure, I just got …
Luke’s Missions Trip 2017
Every summer since he was eight years old Luke's gone on a short-term missions trip to an Indian reservation. This particular missions trip is so physically exhausting that most people (myself included) can't hack it a second time around. Sleep deprivation, strenuous and sweltering construction, and mosquitoes of apocalyptic proportions are what you sign on …
Group-think Doesn’t Just Happen
Sure, this will cause you to question everything you hear...
Swimming Over the Moon
I've decided, now that I have three years swim-parent experience, swimming is a sport about the following: 1. conquering your fears, 2. conquering your flesh, 3. extreme repetition, and 4. pressure. As a child, the extent of my swimming was the drowning preventative offered by the local pool. I had no idea there was a …
A Volcano Hike: Mt. Liamuiga
A rust-ravaged truck would take us to the base of Mt. Liamuiga. After the 45 minute drive through St. Kitts, our 2+ hour ascension hike would begin. Behind me lay the Adventure of the Seas with its hushed hot tub waters and attendant waiters, plush deck chairs, everlasting soft-serve ice cream cones... What had I done? Across …
The Quiet Room of no Social Media
I'm not one of those planner-bloggers. I write what I feel, when I feel it. When I post I'm basically throwing you a real-time snapshot of my mind. I may be feeling a bunch of things, but when I post I'm shining one of those thoughts and offering it to you. For me, posting has …
