Bloggin 365: Day 10

One of the spoken word pieces I’ve written for my up coming album entitled “Spoken” was first uttered as an acknowledgment of my awareness of Gods grace and mercy delivered to me daily. More specifically that which was afforded me during my history of foolish living as well as that which is given even as I seek to live a God centered life while falling short. As the music I composed played these were the words that came to me. Unedited.

Bloggin 365: Day 9

Right now I am a little stronger. Today, in this very minute I am healthier. I have set a course and my feet are steady. Right now no duplicity is contained in the words I say to you and the ones I say to myself.

Bloggin 365: Day 8

I recall reading this statement though I don’t recall where from. While I do understand the context in which it was spoken I now see and understand it differently than I once did. The statement is: ” If we would only do half of all we could do, we would astound ourselves!”

Bloggin 365: Day 7

My favorite football team lost today. The Minnesota Vikings. I have been a fan since the late 70′s. Never have I been a fair weather fan and in most cases I would react somewhat irrationally whenever they would loose. Some of the behavior even included not going to work the next day after a Sunday loss. Silly I know but for a time that was my response. Not to the loss though, but it was my response to my perception of the teams effort. Follow me………

Bloggin 365: Day 6

At around 1:30 am on Monday, May 5th, 2008 I woke up from sleep with this message in my mind. Waking up with crystal clear thought is not rare for me but the practice of getting up to record the thoughts still was at the time. So often I would wake up and say to myself “I will remember this in the morning”, only to struggle to recall even a small portion of the thought clarity and content. Not this time. Unedited and delivered as it came to me, this has been and continues to be the message I give to each of my clients.

Bloggin 365: Day 5

I miss her. I miss how she said I love you seemingly unprompted by anything I had done. I miss each syllable she sang as she sang to me. I miss the way I felt when she executed each run effortlessly. I miss how she would giver herself to me and then blamed me for her inability to resist. I miss the beginning of us, which led me to the first real exposure of my heart. I miss the woman who showed me I was not ready? I. Miss. Her.

Bloggin 365: Day 4

I know that God hears me and has always been listening. I know that God sees me and has always been watching. His watching must be similar to the way in which I can watch a baby. I can observe the baby while the baby is completely oblivious to my presence. Or His watching must be similar to the sleeping child with a tooth underneath a pillow resting soundly unaware of the loving parent prepared to replace the tooth with a coin. For a time the child will live in the illusion that the tooth fairy came, however at some point the child comes to know it was the parent all along.

Bloggin 365: Day 3

I have candles burning and I’m sitting quietly thinking….. waiting for the right words to write. Wondering what I am going to share and knowing I won’t know until something reveals itself. I’m filled with nervous energy but I have clarity about why I feel like this. These are unscripted and relatively unfiltered thoughts I am about to share and that’s where the nervous energy comes from. I say relatively because I’m not ready to be fully naked yet, in fact I may never be.

Bloggin 365: Day 2

Well this is day two in the bloggin 365 series and I suppose in the strictest sense of things I’m late with this post. It is 1:31 AM (I’m such an around the clock dude) and this would be day three. Whatever!

Bloggin 365: Day 1

So I begin bloggin 365, not sure where this is going to go but I begin now. My primary goal is to share consistently my thoughts, feelings and an occasional event or two from the day that was. The operative word here is consistently. Writing regularly is not new to me, daily writing in my journal is something I had attempted to do for years and finally established it as a habit in 2005.
