The best advice I can give the younger generation is don’t let what you do for work define who you are. There is more to life than work. There is more to you than your career. Sometimes I think people use career as a way to escape life. Just don’t do it. If you were … Continue reading When you realize you are more than your job.

Dying Retail
Right before all the pandemic mess turned our lives upside down, I started a YouTube channel for the purpose of chronicling the loss of retail institutions in my local area. I had put one video out on Chesapeake Square Mall in Chesapeake, VA and then had put it on back burner until recently. Thought I … Continue reading Dying Retail
This generation
It seems the older I get the crazier the generations coming behind me are getting. There is this article online where this woman freaks out because her husband used a photo of her for his contacts. He didn’t get permission. He was violating her privacy… It’s your spouse! Not some creepy co-worker. For the love … Continue reading This generation
Alec Baldwin Movie Set Tragedy
I’ve never cared for Alec Baldwin as a human being. He is someone who reminds me of a bully and his politics and antics just made that feeling stick more to where I didn’t actively watch his content. However, I can’t begin to imagine what horror you must feel realizing you were instrumental in the … Continue reading Alec Baldwin Movie Set Tragedy

“Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.” While we should certainly be informed and engaged, we should not despair as if we have no hope. Ultimately, as Paul … Continue reading COLOSSIANS 3:1-2
The road
I stand on this road looking ahead. No matter how much I turn and look behind me, I can’t go back. Regrets, mistakes, things I wished I had done differently… I can see them but no matter how long I walk back, they are always out of reach. I can’t change the past. So I’m … Continue reading The road
ROMANS 8:26
“In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.” More often than not, it seems, the issues before us are too complex and troubling to understand. In this passage, Paul made it clear … Continue reading ROMANS 8:26
PHILIPPIANS 4:6
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” We don’t have to carry our concerns, worries, and fears in isolation. The Apostle Paul … Continue reading PHILIPPIANS 4:6
