This blog is getting old. Already well into its second decade. (Well, into, at least.) Today is the day, eleven years ago, that I first set out on this blogging adventure. You can read the post here. Many of the August Twenth-Sixths since, I have linked to that first “blog”. It was not of much…

Content Creator
So God created man in His own image, in the image and likeness of God He created him; male and female He created them. Genesis 1:27 (AMP) In my life so far, I’ve always enjoyed creating. Whether it was a song, or a blog post here, or a book of those posts, or even a…
Stillness
Quiet can sometimes indicate trouble. (Perhaps this is most true for parents of young children?) When someone you love is quiet, it can cause you some concern. “Are you feeling okay?

Two Spaces, Or One?
Being one who has loved writing for as much of his life as he can remember, you’d think that the basics of grammar and punctuation would be the proverbial “old hat” by now, right? Well, sadly, I must admit to a(n incorrect) habit that I just CAN NOT break. ONE space, Greg… NOT TWO! It’s…
