The Devil Inside You

As he watched the nightmare scene unfold Stark walked towards the corpses of his slain friends. His face registered shock when Captain America reached up and grabbed him and demanded to […]
A Mirror View – Of Me And You
The idea of having already met my soul mate just seems crazy to me. It’s been a year and a half since I seriously dated anyone. A year and a half of growing psychically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. A year and a half of trying to sort through this overwhelming world while trying to figure […]
One Life – More Dreams
John Monroe stood awkwardly on the ledge of the 10 story parking garage. His dark clothing blended into the shadows making him practically invisible, but he was used to that. He was used to feeling invisible. One night a week he made his way to the garage. He would park on the bottom level and […]

For the longest time I believed that right and wrong was determined by religion, and while my moral compass is guided by my belief in God, recently I have realized that not everyone’s definition of right and wrong is dictated by what God they believe in, if they believe in one. For Christians, it is […]
The Importance of Seeing the Beauty
On my way to work tonight I decided to stop by a 7/11 to buy some gum. My normal stash in my car was out, and in preparation for the multiple cups of coffee I knew I would be consuming I wanted to be prepared to fight the inevitable coffee breath. As I pulled up […]
A Little Reflection
As the year comes to a close I believe it’s important to look back and reflect on what has happened and the lessons that have been learned. This year marked a lot of firsts for me: I got my first tattoo, experienced my first taste of small unit leadership in the Marine Corps, left the […]
