For some time now I have been adding to a list of things to do that is ongoing in my head. I keep telling myself I will write them down because I will eventually forget, so at last, here is the list of things I will accomplish this year. They are in no particular order […]

I was watching America Unearthed and as usual, some host was portraying hidden meanings in various structures. Again, as usual, the hidden meaning was connected to the Free Masons. It seems on every show these days every host claims some connection to the Free Masons or the Knights Templar. It is really getting quite old. […]
I finally started reading the White Queen series by Phillipa Gregory. I was quite enamoured with the television show White Queen when I watched it last year. Of course I realized that the relationships, the drama, even the actors chosen to represent the historical figures were all nowhere near the originals of English history. This […]

It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does […]

I wanted to write something funny today but then I realized I just wasn’t feeling very humorous today so I said screw it and went in a completely different direction. The direction I headed was to a piece of paper, one of many actually, that contains nothing more than words and phrases I have found […]
As I was sitting around today trying to come up with a new story idea – I kept running into the same roadblock. I prefer to write fantasy. The problem is that every time I thought of a new character, I would go over the details and realize, ‘yeah, that’s been done before.’ Every time […]
