It’s 12:37 a.m. in Philadelphia – home of the Eagles. Just two days ago I told Josh on the drive from LAX after we dropped his sister off at the airport and went to the parking lot to feel the jets landing above us my connection to the house of Philadelphia. It’s the 3-7 in […]
God has been telling me for a while now to “Let go and let God” through a number of sources. He’s safe with a room and roof over his head here at Tamra’s. He needs a lot but the basic place to stay is for now secure. She’s loving and understanding of his circumstances and […]
As soon as I completed my writing in the blog last night, I received a horrible phone call from Glenn. I asked him how my son was doing and asked him if I needed to get him a hotel room since he had given his room and bed to a visitor that showed up the […]
Today I received a gift I wasn’t expecting. Roger texted asking for my Zelle and said he was selling my washer and dryer to a couple for $500. A few minutes later I received the alert that the money had been received and immediately I thought it odd that just yesterday I was scrambling for […]
Today has been a day of 17 – over and over again. It was the gate at every single flight I flew, the number on the jersey flashing over a screen of the Dodger Stadium going wild and even the room number I ended up with tonight; 917. As I watched the batter take the […]

I’m not the only one chasing a story. It’s the reason we’re drawn to chaos and bad news in the first place; we want to make sure we don’t miss the set-up scene before the hero enters the plot and saves the day. There’s no error in the pursuit, but in the Glory we fail […]
I was called out today, leaving Dana Point on essentially no sleep at 1:30 a.m. wake up to report for standby at 4:30 in LA. Then immediately after my check-in I was assigned a turn to New York where I worked the first flight and did a deadhead on the one home; seated in 37A. […]
The one thing I’ve wanted most in recent years is to have someone to talk to who understands. More than a listener or even a voice of confidence, I’ve longed for a guide – a wiseman to come along and say to me, “I’ve been where you are and I have the roadmap to where […]
I could hardly breathe last night trying to bring myself to a place of calm where I could drift away into sleep – the place where I don’t have to think through the revelations that are washing over me as a tidal wave now. On his way home, Leefe sent me a clip of a […]
