Asheville, Bele Chere, & Sliding Rock: Photo ...
A great thing about Asheville: The Music. Bele Chere, a three day, annual music festival held on the streets of downtown Asheville, was this past weekend, and there was music on every corner. As usual for Asheville. Music = Joy. Private party with The Enemy Lovers at The Lab (Great Lexington Ave microbrewery) in Asheville. Asheville has 9...
The Beauty of God
There was a time in my own life when questioning the existence of God seemed strange. Now, a questioner of some things thought important and many which are probably not, this statement seems strange, indeed. But there was a time when diving into the existence of God was not a thought I often attempted, and it was probably good that no one...

Slinging Finger Paint
I can sit and stare out a window for hours on end. Windows to gaze out of, paned sheets of glass to contemplate through, to survey the rest of the world moving to and fro, mere phantoms heaping up wealth, attempting happiness, usually falling short, clamoring for something more.

Time With Family & Friends {all are welcome}

A little about my heart.
I am living at peace in light of and in response to an overabundance of overwhelming grace despite my flaws and imperfections. Within the journey, the narrowest of all paths, I find solace.
