The need for men
I spoke to my dad yesterday. He brought up the situation that’s going with my brother (his son). I don’t feel it’s my responsibility to call my brother and chastise him for the choices he’s been making. I’m not his parent. I also won’t do it because I feel it’s not my place to [...]

Okinawan purple sweet potato
I’m having a hard time locating the Okinawan purple sweet potato. The buggers are so elusive. I don’t want to have to drive all over Southern California to get my hands on a few but they look so delicious! I did do some research on Asian grocers in the L.A. area and found one that [...]
Comfort
Enjoying the warmth of the fireplace. Fire was one of the best discoveries of man. Since my cousin’s passing, I can’t help but wonder what it is like to die. Is she at peace? Is heaven everything the Bible says it is? Heaven has got to be a million times better than this place. [...]

Gone
My cousin passed away yesterday. So young. She would have been 44 in a few weeks. The past three years were probably the worst for her. But she died surrounded by her children and grandchildren.
