    Bullies—It’s time to show them the door

    Oh he’s just a big bully, don’t pay any attention to him and he’ll leave you alone. How many remember receiving guidance like that growing up? I am afraid too many of us remember and would like…

    Let’s Discuss Gun Control – Again

    The President of the United States has now weighed in on the subject of gun control. Some say its about time, others say oh no! It would indeed be a nice change, and perhaps actually constructive, if the discussion about gun control, the possession and use of firearms in this country were held rationally and [...]

    Save a Child Secure a Firearm

    Shooting firearms for many people is fun and exciting. They are used as tools for hunting, recreation, self defense and unfortunately in many cases, have been used in acts of violence. Firearms have also been involved in needless accidents…

    The News – Really?

    It is interesting how we have “progressed” if you can call it that, in how we are provided the news. There is something to be said for more voices being heard and more viewpoints shared, but the bias and vitriol that is present today seems to fill every page and broadcast…

  • Intrusion

    Intrusion

    The sun sets on life, Extinguishing that which is ours, Awakening what lies beyond. Its absence emboldens some and Incurs in most trepidation; Born of another time and another place.

  • A Whimsical Memory

    A Whimsical Memory

    The old mill stood majestically in the sun beaten world,

    Down an old man’s back.

    A Guiding Hand

    My life, being a maze of endless puzzles, leads me blindly through time’s whimsical corridors. My mind, bewildered by the laughter of society, I turned in quiet desperation to a guiding hand of silence. With a firm, yet genial grasp, I ran, and still do run, the many mazes of life’s puzzle, Having clutched proudly [...]
