Celebrating A Dreamer and A Doer – Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Leave a comment

Today is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day in the United States. He was a minister, a leader, a dreamer, and a civil rights icon. I feel like it’s more important than ever to remember all the things he did and to continue the fight for equality, justice, and love. The people of the world are better because he lived what he preached and made things better for so many. His work continues on in those he influenced. We need that work now more than ever. Thank you, Dr. King, for putting hands and feet to your faith.

Something About

Something About Feelings

1 Comment

I have talked about feelings before, and I have a few more things to say.

Everyone has feelings. They are wonderful, but they can also be a problem. I struggle with my feelings because I feel very deeply about things. A lot of times I don’t know how to manage it out of fear and perhaps some societal norms that men have about the subject.

Dealing with one’s feelings and emotions takes work, and I don’t always do my best there. Knowing your feelings requires you to sit with them and hope for the best. All I know is that “everybody hurts” sometimes, and that time can heal how you feel.

My Missus the Soup Diva made a tasty, savory Thai soup. It was a bowl full of warmth and love on a Saturday night.

Here is a flashback to 2016 with me donating blood at the blood bank I work for. Some things never change.

A Photo Of Me In 2016

Image 2 Comments

There is this thing online where people are posting pictures of them and other stuff from 2016. Now that is 10 years ago if my math is right. It seems like it was just yesterday or something like that. The picture I have chosen is from Universal Orlando Resorts City Walk in Orlando, Florida. Notice there is more hair and no beard. At least I was having fun.

What’s For Lunch

Here is what I’m having for lunch today. BBQ pork plate with fried okra and baked beans from a local place called Choo Choo BBQ in Chattanooga. It was worth getting out in the cold for. May your lunch be delicious too.
