Summer Magic

The roaring sounds of the music of marching bands waft through the air on the warm summer morning. Billowy white clouds glide across the magnificent blue sky. Cars begin lining up, as the children inside clamor over each other in eager anticipation of the fun that awaits them. They pile out of cars, backpacks in tow with smiles from ear to ear. The smell…

I like to travel.
New places and new people.
I like coming home.

Something is coming
But I don't know what or when,
Only that it's good.

Good moods are sneaky -
They can strike without warning.
Random happiness.

I feel you near me
Even though you're far away
I can still touch you.

I do not like her -
This angry woman in me.
Seeking my peace now.

My skin almost fits.
Minor modifications;
Then it will be right.

Safety

Thought I would share some safety tips sent to me by my step-mother.

1) Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, DO.

2) If a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM! Toss it away from you . . . chances are that he is more interested in your wallet than you, and he will go for the money. Run like mad in the other direction.

3) If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car,…

The one I am becoming.
She's very pretty.

Anne Frank, Neighbors, and Memories...







I just watched “The Diary of Anne Frank” on PBS. I found myself in a bit of a teary puddle afterwards, and a memory came to me.



When I was a very little girl, our next door neighbor lived only a driveway’s width away from our house. A whole family lived there, but the person I remember most was named Joanne. I didn’t know her well, but she played a role in our home.



Our house… Continue

The fan

I think I may have told this story here, but since I'm doing a series on paranormal experiences, I am sharing it again. This was one of the more memorable experiences in my life so far.


One night I was in bed watching TV, my wife and kids were asleep. All of a sudden I heard the vent fan turn…

Energy flows in.
Love cries out to love for help.

Old Lyric- Empower Me Jesus

Written a few years ago when faced with a simple task for which I felt ill suited to carry out. It served and continues to serve it's purpose.



'Empower Me Jesus'



(intro)

Be kind, be merciful

Feed bodies and souls

Don't fear the madness

That sometimes takes hold

The greatest power you'll know

Grows from within

When you open your heart

And let Him come in.



Empower me Jesus

Embolden me Jesus

Lift me up… Continue

Things that go bump in the night - part 1

My next paranormal story happened just a few months ago. While we were living in Branson, MO we decided to go on the local "ghost tour of haunted Branson". I wasn't expecting much. I've been on haunted tours before, they've all been basically the same thing. Someone walks you around telling you ghost stories of this house, that old park, etc. There are always people who have been on the tour who have seen things. On a tour in Wilmington, NC we were even greeted at the door of a house. The owner… Continue

My eyes are sleepy
And the rest of me is, too.
Oh. There was no rest.

I wait. You don't come.
I go. You go somewhere else.
Is that a friendship?

The truth is out there.

My last blog post was about one of the most memorable paranormal experiences I've had. The experience I'm sharing now happened in the same house, but it's totally different. The house has been known to have strange things happen. You could hear the front door open and close, and sometimes hear footsteps but no one was there. Or you could hear the trashcan lid open and close in the kitchen when the room was seemingly unoccupied. This story goes into a different realm, the realm of… Continue
