The God that many say is impossible to know… We know Him. A thousand voices lifted up, singing of joy, rebirth, and how good God is. Dan Crooke had his hand raised to praise and worship the God he knows and loves intimately. All of the songs were picked by the Crookes. People were crying as they sang joyful songs, [ Read More ]
Below is the beginning of how a new life started for me in 1995. I tried to write it from the viewpoints I was having at the time. I wrote this on a Facebook note a few months ago, so I figured, “Why not put it here?” The lyrics I heard in Pearl Jam’s Release song may not be the [ Read More ]
When I was between the ages 3 and 6, I was tortured by my mom’s boyfriend, George. He did plenty of horrible things that shouldn’t be done to anyone, let alone a small child. He made me drink an entire bottle of medication and dropped me off at my grandparents’ house with my eyes rolling to the back of my [ Read More ]
So I’ve been real excited at the work that Will Goodwin and Ben Gruver from Living Hope Community Church did on piecing together my long-winded version of telling how Jesus found me. I’ve written different versions of my testimony, but sometimes it is just easier for people to watch a video. So, here you go. I pray it encourages you [ Read More ]
I accomplished my mission. I wrote a novel in 30 days that is made up of at least 50,000 words. Well, I wouldn’t say the thing is finished. I’ve got plenty to edit and plenty more to add. I like the idea of just dedicating a month to one thing. Now I’ll have to see how well I keep up [ Read More ]
So earlier today I was reading the G-20 statement after they had their Pittsburgh meeting in September. I couldn’t help chuckle at how they act like this financial ‘crisis’ was a big surprise. I mean, these people are pretty much beyond the smartest kids in class. Their entire life is economics and studying its history. So, they obviously know that [ Read More ]
The month is moving along and I’m typing along. I didn’t type much today, but what today’s scene brought out was pretty nuts. I’ll give you my unedited excerpt. After November, I’ll be editing all of this (I hope). It may not make sense, but that’s okay. I’ll just say that people are being offered an injection that will transform [ Read More ]
So, here’s an excerpt from today’s writings: We do not listen to the ramblings of the unmarked ones on Earth. They are not enlightened. They are stupid and do not deserve to be fed. They sometimes seek food from us, but it is understood that to get anything of ours, you need to become one of us. The mark is [ Read More ]
This was one of the nuttiest writing days of NaNo WriMo for me. It’s hard to tell if this is progress or not, but I just spent one hour doing Write or Die and wrote 2,100 words in that hour. I know the goal is to just write and write without much thinking, so that’s exactly what I did during [ Read More ]
Alright! I’m right on track to actually having 50,000 words by the end of the month. I just finished bringing the count up to 14,215 words. It’s getting a little easier to just write without feeling the need to constantly correct myself. I have to keep reminding myself that I can always edit later. For now, the important thing is [ Read More ]
