Un-resolution

I'm not big on reposts. For the most part, I think that if you're going to take the time to write in a blog, and others are going to take the time to read your words, you might as well make sure that the words are original.  Today, I'll make an exception.  This past week I …

Purpose revisited

In as much as I can look back over the wake of my life and am forced to acknowledge that it all just hasn't worked out as I planned, I dont see disappointment there.  Ofcourse, there are things that I'd change if I could.  Mistakes that I'd reverse.  Still, perhaps maturity and perspective have taught me …
