Lectures from my parents, teachers and priests, as I was growing up, instilled certain values in me. Being introspective by nature, I figured even more out for myself. I have always been a loner, taking long walks in the woods, watching the flow of a body of water, studying crops in the field...

In the interests of full disclosure and postscript'd contrition, I hereby confess that during my competitive-writing days, I... I... well, I used steroids.
But in my defense, it was just because all the other writers were juicin' on talent. I had to somehow stay competitive, don'cha see...

I hate to admit it, but today was one of those days that it took every inch of motivation just to remove the covers from over my head and convince myself to face the day. I hate to admit it, but today was one of those days that I broke out in tears at least five out of the ten times that I...

I am making a confession here. I have to admit, hard as it is, that I am an addict and Sunday evening I went cold turkey. My addiction is known by many, many people and I've tried very hard to hide it but now it is time to confess. My addiction was playing Farmville! Yes, I am an addict, or...

The funeral home I had used to bury my fiancé, Chuck, who had died of lung cancer on the previous July 13th had invited me to a Memorial Service. I wasn’t sure I wanted to tamper with the band-aid I had used to cover up my pain but...

I think a good number of my colleagues would empathize with my contention that being good chums with a writer can be a difficult proposition.
Authors, like most artists, tend to be egocentric, driven, indifferent to the feelings of those closest to them...in short, real bastards.
I've just...

The Encounter- The Hesitation
Chant...Chant...Chant...Amen!
"Why hello there my spiritual friend,
How are you, how have things for you been?
Please do take a seat, won't you
Here, have a glass of wine... have something to nibble on too!"
"I am fine...I think, I am just a bit weak...

I spend most of my day prowling the Internet for organizations that work with people who were sexually abused, especially as children. I contact as many as I can to see if they would be willing to start a Lamplighter chapter in their area. Our Lamplighter movement currently has 68 chapters in...

What is Sin?
Why hello my spiritual friend,
For quite some time now, we have been as voyeurs, episodically observing the epic as it unfolds poetically. It is time to address this issue, to appreciate much of what is played out in these various scenarios.
What is sin, for many of us; this is...
