Its been over a month ago since I sat down and wrote down what God had put on my heart. Tonight as I watched a documentary about Crispin Attucks High School in Indianapolis, Indiana in 1955 I was compelled to write about passion in someone’s life and what it enables you to become. The movie was about a all black high school and a remarkable coach that enabled these young men to reach for the stars and obtain what they dreamed. Oscar Robertson one of the greatest basketball players of all…

There is no greater personal satisfaction for me than watching the sales numbers for my books go up. It’s not even that I’m earning money from my art that excites me but that my books are actually being read by strangers. Lots of strangers. I know, I know, I’ve said that a thousand times, but it’s just so true. I’m still getting residual sales from the free promotion last week and that officially makes DROP OUT my biggest bestseller to date with well over a thousand paid sales. DEGENERATES…

One thing that I often suggest to authors, who are casting about for things to blog about, is that they write about what is happening in the news.
Current events capture the nations’ attention. They have the power to take each of us out of our daily routine and momentarily distract us from the report that our boss is waiting for, or the laundry that needs to be washed.
Do you find that you often step of your day to stop, or search the Internet for…

Prologue
Invictus
Motionless in the icy rain, I waited for the end. It was remarkable how easily I had been deceived, duped into complacency by those who became my undoing. I stood now at the end of my life, my last moments spent in reflection, for great was the folly that has led me to this end.
Death by betrayal, a truly tragic way to die. Doomed by the ones you…

Nothing… that occurs within our daily lives,
despite the endless flow of pain and sorrow,
will separate us from the eternal love of God,
regardless of events – be it today or tomorrow.
For the solitary accomplishment of Christ
has bridged the chasm of sin’s spiritual gap;
therefore, to Him we all must willing turn.
He alone is the True Vine, in which we must tap.
Apart from our Lord and His sacred…

Why is it, that the vilest of temptations
seek to violate my mind, during moments…
of weakness, solitude and prayer time?
Is it not enough that my inner person
has been consumed with the filth of my flesh?
How much longer must I wait for the body
of incorruption that will suit me in eternity?
Though I can’t seem to stop sinning,
is it wrong to want to curb its unwanted flow?
These…
