I Am In Pain…So Here I Sit.
Two days before my father died, the priest at my parents’ church visited him in the hospital. My father asked a question, somewhat jokingly, somewhat seriously. He asked, “What will I be in heaven?” The priest answered, “John, you will be in heaven exactly what you were here on earth. You will be an enthusiast.” This past…

I’m Sorry.
Sometimes, you just have to DO IT. That thing that scares the crap out of you, that thing that pushes you and stretches you and keeps you awake at night….you’ve just got to DO IT. This is me. Right now. In my life. In so many instances, I have hidden behind the fear of rejection, judgment, and…
