It’s not about me, it IS about you. So, are you ready for an adventure? Well, I would venture a guess you are already on one and don’t even know it. If you are still alive and breathing then you ARE on that adventure! Just peer in between the folds of life’s fabric, and you will find those special moments, treasures hidden amongst the magnificent and the mundane that make your life worthwhile.
Those “special moments” is the reason this blog site was birthed. The title Life Simply Spoken came about from the yearning to share simple life stories presented in such a way that it would impact the life of another person. Most of these stories or “pieces” will have a spiritual slant as I strongly believe that in every life experience, there is a lesson, a nugget of God instilled, eternal truth just waiting to get out, becoming a salve for healing, a mini “aha” moment or perhaps a smile maker.
So as you skim over my own life stories, think about yours. Jump headlong into YOUR life adventures with abandonment, keeping all your senses sharp, head clear, and make sure you pack a good amount of humor. For this is the only life we have been given; let us embrace every moment!

Never let anyone convince you otherwise…
Thought of the Day—You can’t bring your hate through those beautiful pearly gates…but then again, why would you want to? Isn’t it time to put that misplaced animosity into the hands of Jesus?
Thought of the Day—Sometimes when life becomes too much and we concentrate on our daily struggles to the point of skewing reality, we need to just take a step back from the cold, dark room of despair, turn around and peer out life’s window for a while; to take a long, hard look at life all around us so we can once again gain a proper perspective and a new appreciation for our own life and the possibilities that God has laid before us…
Thought of the Day—Before you begin to grumble under your breath about another Monday and begrudgingly trudge off into the day, you may want to first stop and thank God for maintaining strength in your limbs, providing breath for your lungs and continuing that rhythmic beat in your chest. Another day nor even your next breath is promised to you; embrace this day as if it’s the greatest treasure you have ever been given…
Thought of the Day—The foolishness of youth is that they can’t fully realize nor appreciate their untapped potential and physical stamina to make that potential a reality. The curse of maturity is that we see that same full potential in the next generation and attempt to communicate such potential to the youth of today from our own experiences but unfortunately it falls on deaf ears due to our own maturity and their own lack thereof…
