“God is working behind the scenes in your life today. No matter what you may be...”
– TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria
A Message from Swami
Often the seemingly darkest hour is “just before dawn” as you know.
You will never forsake your chosen path.The intense missing will always draw you back.
Today's Word from Joel
Did you know that fear works just like faith but in the opposite direction? In the same way that faith opens the door for God to work in our lives; fear opens the door for the enemy to work in our lives.
The Bible says that fear has torment. Fear has no mercy. If you act on fear instead of acting on faith, it will keep you depressed, miserable and lonely. And so many people today are missing out...

Today was the finally rehearsal before next week’s final gig. I realized, while standing with my lonely D, that another church year had passed. I’m among friends and fellow ‘devotees’ that have been around for a long time. It was a nice feeling and one of growing older.
I had to skip out on service, to come back home and do some work, clean up for the kids afternoon...

I missed church service today, but found myself deep in a reflective mood most of the day. It was a slow Sunday, I’ve got so much work to do, but I just puttered the day away. Mostly finding diversions to fill my mind with thoughts of wanting to “be better” or live again. Divorce has been a terrible experience in some ways. Its not the loss of love, but the loss of what you...

Today I realized that I don’t want to travel to India. I want to go to Iceland. I dreamed about India for years - had to get there before I was 40, now I’m 45. I’m leaving it alone - its time to dream a new dream. Find a place to take somebody, not by myself. No holy man in Mysore is going to help me more than my front lawn in full bloom. Find a cheap flight - find the kids heavy...
Carlsons Thai Donuts
We went to Carlsons last night for Dar’s birthday. Adam, Sara, Bella, Kim, Gary, Dar and me. Of course we walked out with a dozen and of course we are now on a first name basis with July, the owner, and you have to go into the kitchen to say goodbye. It was great, I’m getting a bit timid on the heat and for the first time in my life asked for something to be ‘mild’...
Wednesday Again
I’ve arrived at this date still in search of many things and understanding my position in many others. It sounds like one side of the coin is telling me that things are going to be great, just hang in there and we are going to work through this together and the other side is bleak with little cause for hope. Granted, that I’ve always been a half empty kind of person my entire life,...
WatchA Rock and Roll Sophomore Effort
Changing my mind
I spent the morning with Harley talking about sofanap and the question about cost recovery. We had a grand time and connected on deep levels. I’m continuing to push the envelope on the code in an effort to build a community portal as well as a demonstration for us to showcase our expertise. All in all - a good meeting - one of these days we’ll see some sheckles for our effort, but...
A Drive by Shooting | Anthony Bourdain →
Reading Anthony Bourdain reminds me of sitting in front of a culinary Hunter S. Thompson. Tony is my hero.
