The Elixir of Writing

Leave a Comment / Indigo, Life / By miracleroch

Most humans find it easier to speak than to write. Writing is a much more difficult task because it forces you to transform your ideas into letters and think about structure. With little to no preparation, you can give a ten-minute monologue about your favorite topic and not stutter. The reason is that the barrier …

A Look at Marriage

Leave a Comment / Indigo, Life / By miracleroch

Marriage as we know it today is an invention of the Government. The idea that you need to go to the Government to confirm that you love someone is a manufactured idea. Previously, people lived together as a way to preserve clans and family relationships. Parents betrothed their children to their friends, and when these …

Quick one on Music and Albums

Leave a Comment / Indigo, Life / By miracleroch

I was watching a podcast recently and one of the questions was “what was the first album you ever bought”. It was a question that got me thinking because the first album I ever bought had a funny story behind it. I went to the market and went music store to music store looking for …

Missed Early Opportunities

Leave a Comment / Indigo, Life / By miracleroch

I have written severally about how lucky I was to get really early starts into some of the things that define me today. Writing, reading, computers, public speaking, etc. As I randomly thought about those starts, I also began to see the misses as well. Take computers for example. I got a really early start …

What I Read in 2024

Leave a Comment / Uncategorized / By miracleroch

Here’s a link to the some of the books I read in 2023. This year was a good year, I read more pages this year than I’d ever done in a while, if not in any calendar year at all. I read voraciously as a child and used to finish a book in two days …

Major Events in my Lifetime

Leave a Comment / Chronicle, Global / By miracleroch

I was inspired by Morgan Hausel’s book where he talked about some of the events and persons that shaped the 20th century and how they altered the course of history. 15 billion people were born in the 19th and 20th century and yet just seven of them altered the course of that century and history …

The Meaning of Life

Leave a Comment / Indigo, Life / By miracleroch

I find that so many people don’t understand the way life works. Not that anyone does, life is so complex and dynamic that it’d be hard for one person to fully understand the gamut of life. When you think of hard times, who’s going to be there for you? It’s not an easy question to …

An Ode to Football

Leave a Comment / Indigo, Life / By miracleroch

Here’s my football love story. In one take. Football has been the one true love of my life. I fell in love with this game more than 26 years ago. As a child, the one gift I always wanted was a soccer ball. I’d play with kids, I’d play with my dog and I’d play …

The Rule of Love

1 Comment / Indigo, Love / By miracleroch

There is no room in love for fear. Well-formed love banishes fear. Since fear is crippling, a fearful life—fear of death, fear of judgment—is one not yet fully formed in love. – 1 John 4:18 MSG When the fears you have about someone drown out the love you have for that person, it was not …
