Running Away Part Two – Going to Ohio
This is the story of the second of three times I ran away while I was in high school. For some reason I thought it was a good idea to run away to Cleveland in the winter! This adventure took place in 1977 when I was a junior at RVCS.

It’s been a while – again – since I last wrote something. I need to get better at this as I enjoy writing, and as was pointed out to me earlier this week, I just need to sit down and write. Today, I am going to start writing about the three times I ran away…

When You Are Feeling Lost
and Wondering Where God Is
I have shared part of this post before, telling how I finally came to terms with my grief over my dad’s passing. But I’m sharing it again because the overall message seems to apply today for many, if not most of us. Right now the world seems out of control with the virus, quarantines, conflict,…

Perhaps they are merely my random ramblings, exposing the often strange way my mind works. But my hope and prayer is…

It has been a month since my last update on my battle with weight, and unfortunately the past month has not been good. It would be easy to not write anything, but I promised to write updates, and this is as much for myself, to keep accountable to anyone who does read this. Between the…

By late 1982, my life was pretty messed up. I had lost the good-paying job I had had since I was 16. I was working flea markets, selling everything I had that was worth anything, and whatever money I did make, I was spending on low-quality weed, cheap beer (think plain white generic can, “Beer”),…
