Lets Meet In Quetzaltenango
“Where’d you go in Guatemala?” asked the lady behind me in the check out line at the local Superior grocery store. She had started the conversation just moments before, observing that the heat was unbearable because it was dry. “I just spent ten days in a humid heat,” I told her initially. “I was inContinue reading “Lets Meet In Quetzaltenango”
27 Years of Being a “Smooth Criminal”
October 24, 2016 marks 26 year anniversary of the release of Smooth Criminal by Micheal Jackson. I have to admit that my first introduction to Micheal Jackson was at the age of five.

Snapping Back to Reality
Its happened to me a few times now, I get back from traveling abroad, find myself trying to get acclimated back into my life. Its jarring to experience.

Two years go I realized I was missing something in my life, my passion had been stunted by years of busy-bee-ness. So I made a get-back-to-this-passion-plan, it involves my brain and my eyes and hours of sitting around staring, sounds boring. I promised to read 12 books in 12 months. It was not ambitious, yetContinue reading “On Reading Lists”
A Feather in the Wind
Its been three years since I took this picture. I haven’t shared it, like the majority of the pictures I have taken. I only share it now because it reminded me about that day I took it. There were lots of potential and excitement about my new adventure. Looking back makes me wonder if itContinue reading “A Feather in the Wind”
God Honors Those that Honor Humanity
I haven’t been updating all that much. I just finished my finals for classes, transitioned into more studying for a test before I go back to a new semester. Even though I have been experimenting with some new virtual media (social media, I just don’t think there is anything “social” about “social media” since itsContinue reading “God Honors Those that Honor Humanity”
