DBSM – Denton Bible Student Ministries
I’m still oscillating between moments of elation followed by intense moments of self-doubt and intestine rumbling apprehension.
I just left Elevate, which is the name of the high school Wednesday night ministry, and it was a blast. Chris did a really amazing job teaching on sin and I was actually inspired to do better in my [...]
And Your Eyes Were Staring Back at Me…
When I imagine us together I see your face staring back at me from your pillow. Your hair is tousled, your smile crooked, your breathing content.
I see you in the kitchen drying your hands. I hear your laugh while you play with the kids.
When I think of you, I remember the way you smell and [...]
the dark room
i like to turn on the red light
an instant dark room.
fully exposed I step into the shower
a negative I slip beneath the water.
pose, pose, pose
i hang there on the shower rod
developing completely
becoming more than just
an ephemeral ghost
on a plastic sheet.
drip, drip, drip,
dry.
9 Years of Blogging
When I started Posted Note I had no idea that I’d be writing about my life and all its inanities in every detail for years to come. Did I know how many people I would hurt or humiliate? Did I know how passive aggressive I could be? Or Whiny? Or self-absorbed? No. In truth I [...]
Santa Jesus?
For some reason this is the first year that I realized how much Santa is like Jesus… and I don’t mean that in a good way.
Santa brings us presents, but Jesus brought us the ultimate gift.
Santa has a list and he’s checking it twice… so does Jesus.
Many people don’t believe in Jesus or Santa Claus, [...]
Gut Check
“For $500 what do Keggers. Sex. Drugs. Alcohol. Swear Words have in common?”
“All things Eddie jokes about but shouldn’t Pat”
“Correct!”
Recently a friend of mine called me and said, “I don’t know how to word this, but all your status updates on Facebook seem worldly.”
“Wha? Moi?”
The fact of the matter is that a while back I [...]
Could Someone Please Press “Play”?
I’m stuck on PAUSE.
For the last two years I’ve noticed a steep decline in my number of close friends. Or perhaps I finally just shed the people that I felt were holding me back or just plain using me? I’m not sure. What I do know is that I use to have a constantly full [...]
So I Keep My Mouth Shut Tight
For a while there I was going through a phase where I was talking a bunch. I was doing contract computer work at a nursing home with these women who loved to complain about everything and you can really get swept up in a whirlwind of whining.
Then I had a few normal life issues come [...]
I Love It and I Hate It
Things are going well in my life, but I’m alone too much. I wake up in the morning and think, “What will I do today?” Obviously that includes work and working out and some reading, but what else? Can I grab lunch with a friend? Dinner? If you add up a two hour lunch and [...]
HGTV Design Star
This is one of my favorite shows of the summer. Do you watch it? My favorites are Dan Vickery and Antonio Ballatore. They seem to have the best design concepts, especially Dan, but I like Anotonio’s anti-designer look. He looks more like a bartender than a designer and should probably be on Sons of Anarchy [...]
How Does Your Garden Grow?
When parents have their first child they look at it as a bundle of joy filled with wonder and potential. To them it is perfection, however, they forget that even Charles Manson, Hitler and Bin Laden started out as sweet babies.
We are born as gardens filled with a variety of seeds that spring up and [...]
