Not good for man to be alone

With aging comes experiences and life lessons. The older I get the more I sit and contemplate this idea of living life. In the bible there is one scripture that is tossed around as a promise that every single person holds on to. “It is not good for man to be alone.” And then you…

What Was I Thinking?

What in the world was I thinking? January 2014, I packed up my stuff and jumped on a plane with only the words of “GO 2014”. Who in their right mind is crazy enough to give up the comforts of what they know and walk into the unknown. To leave my friends, family, house, job…

Ninja Training!!!

I remember back in the days when nothing in this universe would stop me. I had trained under the best ninja’s in the world; the ninja turtles. At any given time I was outside making weapons and living in this place where I was a super hero. I was going to save the world and…

He Wasn’t There…

What would you do if the person you loved the most died? That person that had the most impact on you during your life and was always there for you. Somebody that poured into your life and always wanted what was best for you even if you didn’t know what that was. What if you…

Christianese

Over the years, I have found that being in the church for any period that your speech and choice of words begin to change.

Are You Teachable?

A few years ago I was meeting with my mentor and having a conversation about how some of the choices I was making were leading me down a path of destruction. He started to point things out to me about how they were bad, and I shouldn’t be doing them. My immediate reaction was to…

What The Heck Is Wrong With Me???

I was having a conversation the other day, and as I was telling this guy about my life, he said something that hit me hard. He said, “Trav, you’re 33 years old. Look at your life! You don’t have anything to show for it. Most people your age are married and have kids. They are working nice…

Love keeps no records of wrongs

I don’t know if you have ever experienced this, but I had a friend in the past that did me dirty! So bad that it seemed his only goal was to destroy me and everything that I owned. He wrecked my house and constantly lied to my face, all while destroying many other relationships and…

DON’T TEST ME!!!

I remember way back in the days, when I was still in high school. It seemed like every week we would have some kind of test to see if we understood the information that was being taught by out teachers. I dreaded having to spend long hours studying to pass these tests. I had other…
