There is a good chance that I have fallen in love with someone that is not my wife. His name is Robert Capon. I just can’t get enough of his writing style, content, beauty and…
I’ve been tossing around the idea for a while now of starting up a blog where I could write about anything I was feeling, reading or experiencing that day. For those that know me, I…
I’ve been playing around with this thought for a while. After thinking about collections and how I think that they are in many ways anti-kingdom, James sent me this quote: All of the computers on Ebay are mine. In fact,…
