All I Want For Christmas Is Time…And Of Course My Two Front Teeth!!

It’s that time of the year again: Tax time!! Wait, that’s still a couple months away. Thank the Lord!! Oh that’s right, it’s the time of the year when people ask you the most outrageous question ever spoken in December, “What do you want for Christmas?”

My first reactions are: “My two front teeth.” “World Peace.” “Crap, I have to get you something too?!”

The Karnival Arrives 2012

Coming up pretty soon, I will be joining friends in a project we have been developing called, Karni House. It will be our very own little online publishing house. Our hope is to have several fiction series being posted each week and eventually self publishing the completed works. I will be writing my very own fiction series, which I’m still developing, but will be a thriller/action adventure. More to come on that later.

A Patchwork of Freedom: Underground Railroad

My short story, “Underground Railroad” published in Lori Wagner’s A Patchwork of Freedom, explores the ‘Lovely Traces’ God has left behind for us to find, so we can see that He has been working in our lives from the very beginning. From bad comes good. You just have to wait to see the bigger picture…Or in this case, the bigger mosaic of a quilt!

Isaiah 41:10: “Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.”

Jeremiah. 29:11-13: “For I know the plans I have for you”, declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you search for me with all your heart.”

“I was consumed by a life that I made destined to crash. Beat up and bruised. By the flashbacks of my own past. I tried to hide away. Till I heard you say, ‘lovely traces fall behind you. Turn around and you will see, lovely traces to remind you, everything that you’ve been through, what it took to get you to me.’” – Krystal Meyers

Somewhere Over The Elusive Rainbow!

Somewhere Over The Elusive Rainbow!

What is life without love? But what is love without life? Who can really say? Isn’t love different for everyone? Finding it is almost impossible. But when you truly find it, is it really great? Is it worth it? I certainly don’t know.

In the altered words of Sheldon Cooper, “Ah, (Love), thou art a heartless bitch”…Which if you think about that statement its almost ironic. Maybe not…

Trusting love is hard. Is it lying to you? How do you truly know? Is it manipulating you into believing that all is right with the world and that you’ve found someone that will end your lonely days forever. But as soon as you’re deluded into thinking the best, it pulls the rug out from under you and you fall from that magic carpet ride all the way down to earth, and you hit the surface breaking apart, only to find you are now missing pieces of yourself. The pieces that made you confident. Inspired. Dreaming. Believing in the magical.
