This song hit me like a brick, considering how I’ve been feeling about God lately. And how this world is so… well, cold. I think he’s upset with us, we’ve been unfaithful and so he’s turned his face from us and well, now things are cold. We’re in another 400 years of observation but non-intervention […]
God has turned his face from us
Has God Stepped Back? Is it easier not to believe in something than to believe that something once cared—and doesn’t anymore? I’ve never doubted that God exists. In my heart, mind, and spirit, I know He’s real. There’s too much evidence of design, order, and power in the universe. I believe He can do anything: hear […]
Do you think God could be purposely absent?
I asked an interesting question to Chat GPT-5 about anything in the Bible that suggested God may have “stepped out” or is watching from afar but not interfering. The results were… interesting. 🕊️ 1. God Hiding His Face Passages: Interpretive angle:These “hidden face” verses imply divine withdrawal of presence, not annihilation. God still exists and […]
Interventionist God
Is it easier to not believe in something, versus feeling abandoned by that something? It’s not that I don’t believe God exists, in my heart and my mind (maybe spirit) I know God exists. There’s too much evidence of his existence, and I believe he truly has the power to do anything. I have theories […]
Illegal immigrants and deportation
A very sensitive subject, especially recently, to be sure. But I’m just the average Joe so to speak. And I’ve been very curious about why there’s so much focus and debate on unauthorized immigrants and deportations. My brother helped explain to me why we need unauthorized immigrants and the good things they do, the way […]

Step away from the ledge
I gave ChatGPT the first line from the lyrics of a song I liked and told it to generate an image based on that line. Kind of impressive what it came up with. AI is wild. And yeah, I’m fine (generally), I’m sure we’ve all felt this way at some point in time. All good […]

This acquaintance, who has recently been enveloped by the shadow of […]
Poems about how I met my wife
Poems Version 1 In Denny’s soft light, she arrived,Post-prom night, in overalls styled,Laughing with friends, her spirit wild. He, from the tech lines just freed,In office clothes, not quite in need,But brother’s call, he’d heed. Amid coffee and midnight fries,He saw his future in her eyes,A spark beneath the neon skies. Months passed, then hearts […]
Stop the pain through willpower
There’s a lyric in an Evanescence song “I know I can stop the pain if I will it all away” that has always caught my interest. That one simple statement… so I decided to try and expand on that with ChatGPT which I find can be very insightful which is interesting all on its own […]
