Glorified Bodies

I am a former member of the Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA). It's not like I was any good … Continue reading Glorified Bodies

In non-fiction writing, the author collects data, facts, and quotes and formulates them into a … Continue reading Preachers
Political Rumblings
Has anyone in the press not talked about President Biden's debate performance? Little can be said that has not already saturated the news and private conversations. In too simplistic of a sumerary, one side says, "I told you so!" and the other says, "We have to do something." With the political climate in America reaching … Continue reading Political Rumblings
