God wants me to write. He tells me to write, but I never know what to write, so I write whatever comes to mind. Most times I’m afraid of writing the wrong thing, and I’m never sure if anyone will be interested in what I write, so I don’t share it; BUT God wants me…

Ask the Hard Questions
This is an excerpt from my Biblical Journal. This entry is from 9/20/21 at 2:36am with a few additions to “set the scene,” and establish the tone, as my journaling did not account for every second of the encounters. While in the shower last night, I heard God say “Ask the hard questions.” I thought…
The Beauty of Being a Father to a Daughter
Even before my wife told me she was pregnant, I knew I wanted a son. I knew that I would have no idea how to deal with a daughter; the nuisances that come along with her growing older. So I tried to take the easy way out and “hope” a boy into existence. Once I…
Proverbs 31
It was about 4 a.m., and I was tired of walking around with a heavy heart and the weight of the world on my shoulders. I rolled out of bed, boiled a pot of water for a cup of tea, and grabbed my phone (bible app), notebook, planner, and a pen. I was eager and…

“To live is to travel, to love is to find romance in a new place” -Antonio Smith When I first met my wife, I quickly learned that she was a free-spirited adventurer at heart. A hippie trapped in the life of a “yuppie” (not the bad one). But she never had the opportunity to take…
I married my Great Grandfather
They say that women tend to marry men that remind them of their fathers. Well for me, it jumped a few generations. I’ve lately come to realize that my husband is the epitome of my great grandfather. I never realized how much Antonio reminded me of my “granddad” until of recent. Many of the characteristics…
