Midnight Silence

I think, for me, one of the greatest gifts is when my kids get along.

Last night, we celebrated my birthday early, and that didn’t happen, and (at least) one of them is still upset. You know how I can tell?

For every birthday, my oldest son, Kyle, wakes that person up at midnight to wish them a happy birthday.

He didn’t wake me up. đź’”

THE BLOGGER INTERVIEW TAG

The marvel behind The Lightening and The Fire tagged me in this interview: a man who I’d love to meet, a man who lets everyone see inside his heart. I’m honored to have been thought of by him and admire him so.

Here are the rules:

* Mention the person who tagged you
* Answer the questions in full
* Don’t forget to tag up to ten other bloggers at the end

How did you get into blogging?

One day, as I was reading someone’s inspirational email, and I heard God clearly say, “Why are you reading other people’s words? You have much to write about that others need to read,” so, I began to write on Facebook, which led to creating a website, which led to blogging, which led to poetry, which led to songs, etc. Now, no one can stop me.

What advice would you give to a blogger just starting out?

There’s nothing to hide. When you’re open…honest…real, people understand that and can relate. Every lesson in life learned is meant to be passed on. Just be who you are because being anyone else wouldn’t make sense.

What would be your dream campaign?

Many people seemed trapped in bondage. I want to live freedom out loud for all to hear with their hearts, grab hold of, and walk out of bondage.

Do you have a plan for your blog?

I don’t have any plan for my blog. My blog is my heart revealed, and I don’t have a plan for my heart.

What do you think about rankings?

In general, rankings don’t make sense to me. It causes people to compare.

 

I’ve barely scratched the surface of getting to know people online from this website, but there are many writers who’ve captured my attention and, at times, my heart.

Here’re some I’d like to hear from:

Falling Together

Through the not-so-happy moments at Disneyland, I learned a lot, but through the moments-to-remember, I learned even more, and there were plenty of those to hold onto. One in particular happened right off the bat.

By the time we first arrived at the park, it was packed, so moving through the crowd (without losing one another) was a sport of its own, but we managed to all make it to the “Pirates of the Caribbean” ride without being separated.

By this time, some grumpiness had set in here and there, so I was hoping that the first ride would kill any of that, and it did, but while we were in line, I was touched by God. Continue reading
