January 1 and a brand new year is almost here! Time to start planning for a great year, but there’s one important disclaimer you must remember… Your plans will not work out.

So, back to the subject of where souls come from…
Read my previous blog: Where do souls come from here Without going into a long discourse, the general consensus is that “souls” are created at the moment of conception. What this means is that humans are not a soul that lives in a body, we are both soul and body. A good example of this … Continue reading
It’s just our thing
I’m happy to report that we have arrived safely in Rock Hill. Yesterday was my daughter’s due date—but so much for that. Ruby Carolyn will come in her own sweet time.

When I was a teenager, I remember how my dad would trust me. Say I was sixteen and I was complaining about how my dad didn’t trust me (a common thing for sixteen-year-olds). Dad’s respond would often be, “O but son, I do trust you, I trust you to be sixteen.” I never came up … Continue reading
