sometimes
when words escape me
I write anyway
simply because 
I have often surprised myself 
as far as what I have come up with
but the way that it is looking right now
this is not going to be the case

​Good Morning Everyone, 


Still trying to figure out where it is that I am going to be going with all of my writing and how it is that I want to approach all of the things that I want to say, other than just coming right out and saying it, which may or may not be a good or a bad thing, it just is at this point, and the only thing that I am hoping for right now will be that one day I will have all the time that I need to figure all of that out. 

There are some things that I have written, as a matter of fact, there is a lot that of things that I have written that I am not sure whether I am ready or will to share right at the moment, but that is always an option. Do not be afraid to share anything that I post, as far as my blog is concerned. at this point, it is a case of the more the merrier. It is all good.

So it goes. Press on regardless.


Faithfully Yours,

Lee

Good Sunday Morning Everyone,

I pray that you all had a quiet week and that you are all getting into the holiday spirit, regardless of exactly how it all goes for you. Just remember to keep Christ at the center of it all. Have a blessed week and be sure to be with God's people.

So it goes. Press on regardless.

Faithfully Yours,

Lee

London.
Paris.
Rome.
right now they are little more then  just words to me
a dot on a map
places that I have been told about
and places that I have been told that are real 
but wish to be able to see for myself
and live
who would have believed that I would have held onto 
that there is nothing else left to do
but to keep on believing

Good Morning everyone,


There are times when I wonder whether or not what I do makes any difference in the world, or even in my little portion of the world. As we enter this season of Advent, I realize that I may not be able to influence everyone, but I can influence someone in a way that just might make difference in someone's life, or at least that is what I am letting myself believe anyway. I guess that it is better to believe that, then it is to believe some of the other nonsense that is floating around these days that just might be passing for truth.

In this season of Advent, it is not what I can do, but what has been done for me. From the cradle at Bethlehem to the empty tomb. To think that something like that has been done for someone like me is a very humbling experience. I would not change a thing and wouldn't even if I could. Try to remember, and I put myself in this line as well, what the real reason for the season is. That it is not always about what we can get, but what has already been done for us. All that we have to do is to reach out and take it and believe.
Sorry, didn't mean to preach, but there it is. Thanks are to God for this Advent Season. My His holy name be praised. Remember, from the cradle to the open tomb.

Good Sunday Morning everyone,

As we enter this Advent season, let us all remember the true meaning of the season. That the child born in Bethlehem's stable would ultimately lead to an empty tomb.

Finding myself wanting to do more
Then I know that I will ever be able to get done
But it is still hard to find the time to do all of the things
That I need to do
There are simply not enough hours in the day
What else is there?
Well I could be doing nothing at all
In order to get myself heard,
But even then,
It seems that I am still going unnoticed
But I have to speak
Even if I am the only one that will listen to me.
So it goes. Press on regardless.

Good Morning Everyone,
 
It is still true, there are still times when I find myself struggling for just the right words, but the right words just never seem to be happening when I need them to happen, if indeed they are happening at all. So, for the first time in a while, I am finding myself thinking that all of this just might have gone away. This being whatever ability that I may have to try and string words together in some logical form that will give at least some insight into whatever it is that I am trying to say at the moment.
 
Maybe I am expecting too much out of myself and that this just might be just about as good as it gets for me. I truly believe that there will come a time in my life when I will finally be able to put the working world behind me and that I will be able to be to be the full-time writer that I had always wanted to be. Until that happens, which I believe that it will. I do not have a clue as to how that is going to happen, but it will happen in some form I am sure. Maybe I am just being a dreamer about the whole thing, but I think the world needs to make room for more dreamers and writers and all of the other things that go along with that. I think that the world would not be perfect, but it would be a lot better place.
 
The one thing that I know for sure is that my future does not lay with what it is that I am doing out in the real world, which does not look very promising right at the moment. Sometimes I find myself thinking that it would be too easy just to walk away from what it is that I am doing out in the real world, but that would not be the most responsible thing that I could have done. So it is all just what it is and nothing more. It is still good no matter what happens.
 
So, it goes Press On regardless.

Looking for words in a world that does not always welcome what     some people might have to say.
Even with all of the things that I need to be remembered for saying something so important that I just wish that it would all just go away,
still,
I keep on writing in the hope that I will finally be heard over all of those who want to be heard.
It is not a case of being louder, or smarter, or luckier, just more persistent.
While I wait for my time to shine, my place to be, my someone to love.
The world that begins, the world that ends with that someone who finds me the biggest part of their lives.
Wishing that it will come sooner then later, even when the only thing that I can do is just wait.
The whole thing just seems to beyond me, but it seems that there are times when I think that I almost get it.
There must be more to life then just the idea of love, that it is just what I need to be finding myself to do more.
I try not to think about it all too much anymore, but I find at night, when things are the worst, it just seems that it just never gets any better, and it always leads to other things.
In the end, whether it is good bad or indifferent, God is still in control, and will take His own time.

Good Morning Everyone,
 
It’s hard to believe that Thanksgiving is to three days away as of this writing. It seems that it came up quick this year are quicker than normal but it seems the older that I can’t the faster the time seems to be going and that’s one of the things that I find frustrating because time just keep slipping away for all of us and I don’t see time as the enemy but I see time has a friend because we all only have 24 hours in a day and whatever days or years we are going to be blessed with I hope that whatever time that I have left, not that I’m planning on going anywhere anytime soon, five hoping to be able to use this time to my advantage and to get as much done at least as far as my writing is concerned, as possible. Of course, that can be sometimes easier said than done but I am willing to give it a try if for no other reason than to see exactly how much I can get accomplished without having to worry about something as mundane as having to go into a job or money grocery shopping. Meals some of the mundane stuff of life which I know that going to have to do a car this because unfortunately, I don’t have a wife or the opportunity to be living at home with mommy and daddy as I know some people are more my age or younger or even older. Not that I’m casting stones is just that if that’s something you can get away with them more power to but definitely come a time for people like that when life is going to present them with the bill they may find difficult to pay. What else is there for me to do except to get in as much writing as much of my thoughts out to be seen and to be heard. I guess it’s a case of negative attention is better than being ignored, and there are times when I have felt that I am being ignored. Either way, it’s all good I’m still doing do what I can get all this out there because I still a lot to say in this may just be the only way that I’m going to get her so it is what it is. I hope you are well.
 
So, it goes Press On regardless.

How do we bear witness
to more than we have ever seen
or care to remember
the rest of it seems to be much to meaningless
revealed beyond measure
ow great all of this ish

life,
death and the meaning of it all
a window into another world, 
it has to be this way
as we one step at a time

Good Morning Everyone,


There are times when I know what it is that I want to say, the question remains how am I going to say it. It always comes down to the words that we choose and who will understand what it is that I want to say. What else is there left to say?

So it goes. Press on regardless.

Good Sunday Morning,


Well it is another Veterans Day, and I pray that someday all 'swords will be beaten into plowshares, and swords into pruning hooks.' I fear that this may only happen upon our Lord's return.

In the meantime, for those of you who are willing and able to do so, thank a vet and visit my facebook page. don't be afraid to leave your comments and share if you are so moved.

So it goes. Press on regardless.

often
when we go out of our way to be helpful
the person that ends up getting hurt
is the one that is doing the helping
or
no good deed goes unpunished.

So it goes. Press on regardless.

Good Morning Everyone,

Sometimes it is all good and sometimes it is all bad. The only thing that I know right now is that depending upon which side of the political aisle that you are on, the midterms were either a bust or the best thing that could have happened to our country. All that I am sure of and this is just my opinion, that it is simply going to be the same old song and dance, once the new Congress begins, or as my Aunt Winifred would have said, 'It is the same old mutton and fat.' one of those British/Australian things. Love the Brits and Love the Aussies.

The point is that all of this is just going to be the same and that in the end, the best that we can hope for is that we simply do not go bankrupt in the process. 

So it goes. Press on regardless.

Faithfully Yours,

Lee

​
for me,
it all still comes down 
to the passage of time
and my ability
or lack of it
and how all of this will 
finally be able to make
some sort of sense to me

that there are times when I find myself thinking
that life should not be so complicated
that if life is complicated
then we have made it that way
and that we need not be so worried about keeping 
up with the Jones's 
or the Smiths
or the Browns
or whoever else we are in competition with 
and simply keep to our own gig
our own needs
and of those that we care for
to live and let live as I have heard it said 
of course, 
that would simply be too easy

Good Morning Everyone,


It is hard to believe that we are in November and that the midterm elections I fear will just be the beginning of another round of what I am starting to call the Washington DC shit storm. Yes, I used that term because of all of the nonsense that is going on there. No matter what side of the aisle that you are on, there is so much finger pointing going on, that nothing is getting done, and these idiots in Washington are simply letting their overgrown egos get in the way. Democrat Republican or the man in the moon. they are little more than a pack of cutthroats and thieves who are interested in little more than saving their political necks instead of reach across the aisle and doing what is in the best interest of the country. Maybe it is an oversimplification of things, but sometimes the best thing to do is to just keep the whole thing simply and get out of the way and simply let the thing work. It's just a thought.

So it goes. Press on regardless.


Faithfully Yours,

we often find ourselves living lives that we would not have planned for ourselves
but it is what has been given to us, whether we like it or not
and the best that we can do
is to do the best that we can do with the skills that we have been given
and pray that it is enough.

Good Morning Everyone,

This will be short because of my life outside of all of this is demanding my attention and that can not be avoided, unfortunately.  So the only thing that I can say right now is that I will try and deal with it as best as I can. what else can I do? Well, there are a lot of things that I can be doing, but sometimes it is better to take the high road in all of this.

So it goes. Press on regardless.

Faithfully Yours,

Lee

​
words are sad
words are healing
words are many things
words can bring laughter
words can bring tears
words can leave wounds 
that may never heal
so choose them wisely

Good Morning Everyone,

Well, this will be a quick turn around because it is a 7.30 am start and it comes awfully early. Not the way that I would have planned my day, but it is the way that it is. 

So it goes. Press on regardless.

Faithfully Yours,

Lee

sometimes the easiest lessons are some of the hardest to learn
but in the end, we all need to go through something
and come out the better person for it

Good Morning Everyone,

I am trying to slowly work my way back online. Things are good and getting better all of the time. In the end, the only thing that I can say is that we are all a work in progress. We just have to be willing to learn from our mistakes. What is the definition of insanity, doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result?

It’s all good. So it goes. Press on regardless.

Faithfully Yours,

Lee

​it’s just a thought

It’s just a thought, but to say thank you to all of my friends simply does not seem to be enough, but it is the only thing to say. I am very grateful and very humbled to know that there are so many friends who care enough to pray and to share their good wishes. Thank you and thanks be to God.

when you find yourself in the darkness of your own making
knowing that it was something that should not have happened
but it happened anyway
you pray that you will not be overwhelmed 
that there will be the sunshine of God’s love
we just have to be willing to ask for it
