Five years ago today I watched my dad take his last breath. All in one moment the reality of death made his appearance in my life. You see it was evidently clear that I was starring at my dad, but then at the same time I wasn't. Every part of him (the smile, the jokes,… Continue reading Year Five

Inception
One of my favorite movies is about a man hired to use a dream machine to plant an idea into the mind of another man... It’s called Inception. In one scene you find Leonardo DiCaprio (he’s the one hired to plant the idea) and his colleagues in a room full of sleeping people who are… Continue reading Inception
When the War Wages

"If Satan is just a prince of this world, then why are we letting him reign over it?" Immediately my mind started to ponder the reality. You… Continue reading Just a Prince
