How To Love

In order to keep with the original purpose of the this blog.  I will be starting a new series called, How to love.  Remember that I started this site as a way for me to grow as a writer and to force myself to articulate my thoughts.  God has placed on my heart to evaluate how I love people, specifically each type of relationship.  Since this has been at the forefront of my mind, I decided it is high time to include it in my blog.

I decided on the name, How to Love, not because I feel I am the authority on the topic and certainly not because I believe I have something to offer.  I settled on the name because that is how God has introduced this season of growth to me.  Basically, He said, ‘John, I want you to evaluate each relationship in your life, and in doing so I am going to teach you how to love.’  How could I not write about this?

I am not sure how often I’ll have a new post, but I will pop one up as I evaluate each type of relationship in my life.  I wish I had more specifics on what to anticipate, but I guess we will all learn it together as it all comes together.   If you are interested you can sign up for a RSS feed so that you are notified of each new post.  God bless and as always, thanks for reading.

A Goat in Sheep’s Clothing.

Boy did I screw up.  I had a miserable drive home tonight.  My stomach churned and rumbled as I replayed the previous 30 minutes of my life at Walmart over and over again. Andrea and I had been studying at a cozy coffee shop, comfortably watching the rain fall and basking in the autumn atmosphere. … Continue Reading

Me, Myself and – I never saw this coming.

Over the past year, maybe longer, I have been trying to figure out the next chapter of my life.  In case you are reading this post first, I am talking about career options.  Since I have started this blog, I have already learned quite a bit about how I think and internalize information.  These past… Continue Reading

Writing, It just kind of happened.

You may have read this already, so this is for those of you who haven’t heard my story.  I suppose this is mainly for me too, because I haven’t fully processed what as happened in the past 2 1/2 years. After a hard day’s work, I woke up from a nap one evening to find… Continue Reading

Scraps and Duds

I used to make fun of blogs.  Actually, I still do.  Why anyone would care to read what someone else thinks is beyond me; but then again, why wouldn’t we care?  After all, isn’t that why I decided to write a book? I guess I decided I wanted this blog as a vent for my… Continue Reading
