Fear. Fear is real. Paralyzing and debilitating. I know. It has plagued the last two years of my life. Someone whom I loved, cherished and trusted has broken a sacred boundary and has entered the realm of the unknown. “Who is this person now?” “What will he do to me?” “Who will believe me?” Where I once felt safe, I now feel scared. Where…

ESCAPE TO GATH David stopped for the night, well after dark. A tight space between two great rocks provided nighttime security. He listened but heard no sounds of pursuit.

A few drops of rain tap on the windshield, the first beats of a coming downpour. Traffic is at a standstill. I’m waiting at the on-ramp to Highway 62, heading East. This scene is very familiar; it could…

The sun was shining bright, I could feel its warmth. The air was gentle and inviting. It was a good day for a play-date to the park with my Grandsons. As we were driving from…

The devil does most of his work on us when we’re young and we spend the rest of our lives untying the knots. My day of reckoning occurred exactly one day after I wrote a note to God.

Daniel woke to a gray sky. I’m still here he though. Just then Gallagher snored. He’s still here too, thought Daniel. Daniel began examining his skin. He looked at his hands and feet.
