Recently, I found a random writing in an old notebook. It is not written in my regular journal, nor is it dated. After a little digging, I have narrowed it to a time frame between late 2021 to early 2022. Although I did not write about a specific incident, I have a good idea as...
It seems like the weekends go by in the blink of an eye anymore. The weekdays do not seem to be much better as they are just filled with various events ranging from daily work routines to multiple events the children are involved with. My family was blessed to spend some time with my past...
The enemies of G-d often referred to Him as the G-d of the Hills or Mountains. Mountains are symbolical of places of power, worship or authority. Taking the “High Ground” is crucial for military control as whoever controls the high ground controls all the valley before them in their sightline. Air supremacy is the degree...
It may seem odd to say but God is always the same about new things. God never changes. As things change…God doesn’t. That should bring you comfort and security. Ecclesiastes 1:9That which has been is what will be,That which is done is what will be done,And there is nothing new under the sun. So what...

One of my favorite Christmas carols has always been The Little Drummer Boy. The author of this hymn talks of a little boy asked by the Magi to go see the newborn Savior. He goes with them, but he believes he has nothing to offer. “I have no gift to bring that’s fit to give...
I love flowers and so everywhere I go I look for them. I know when my neighbors’ daffodils are ready to bloom and who has hydrangeas or black-eyed susan’s ready to flower. Riding down my road one day the mountain laurel was so abundant it looked like it was snowing in the woods. I mentioned...
After a month of moving into the role of Vice Principal, there has been a great learning curve; after all, my official title is Vice Principal of Student Discipline and what a title to have. I even once tried to pitch changing it to Vice Principal of Student Conduct; in short, the response was to...
Like many who read this, I also when young in the faith was “instructed” that every thing bad that happens to us it must have been caused by hasatan (the devil). No matter what it was there had to be some “hidden” demon behind it simply wanting to ruin my day or turn me from the...
