“No, no, no. God, No!” Madeleine sits at the edge of her bed hiding from her parents, the world, and most certainly, Devon. “God, I don’t need this right now.” She whispers, trying to keep her argument with God private. “Do I…Did I feel…What the heck was that?” Madeleine covers her mouth with both hands, startledContinue reading “Life Passages XVII-Knowing Her Own Heart”

Life Passages XVI – A New Feeling
Madeleine can’t help herself. She knows that it is impolite to stare. Even down right creepy if its overt. Still, she uncontrollably gazes at all the teens, and young adults laughing, chewing at pizza slices and taking turns at sharing one funny story after the other. Everyone had been extremely cordial, and welcoming toward her. QuiteContinue reading “Life Passages XVI – A New Feeling”
Life Passages XV – The Fruit of Patience
“Sshh” Mrs. Walcott, the High School Librarian walks by and hushes Madeleine and Devon. They are seated in the back of the fiction section. They thought that they were properly hidden, at the end of the last row of book shelves. Clearly that is not the case. Devon found Madeleine. She had made up herContinue reading “Life Passages XV – The Fruit of Patience”
Life Passages XIV – Breaking Ground
Madeleine sits on a wooden bench, under a humungous tree. It has foliage so thick that it provides ample shade for reading. Madeleine has taken her favorite past time-actually obsession, to the park two blocks away from home. She throws herself into the graphic novel she purchased at Solomon’s bookstore. It is her third go at the book,Continue reading “Life Passages XIV – Breaking Ground”
Life Passages XIII – Everyone’s The Same
“OMG! Mr. Solomon these novels, and comics are outrageous!” Madeleine told the store owner, and Grandfather of her new friend, Devon. Solomon laughed out loud. “Well I think they’re decent Madeleine.” Solomon eventually said once he was able to catch his breath. “I can’t thank you enough for letting me hang out here and…and just read. IContinue reading “Life Passages XIII – Everyone’s The Same”
BOOK REVIEW: “He Who Finds A Wife”
I was minding my own business when the opportunity to review one of Stephan Labossiere‘s new books presented itself. I jumped at the chance since I have been following his snippets of wisdom via Twitter, and Instagram. I am also quite familiar with one of his earlier books written to the ladies entitled, God Where Is MyContinue reading “BOOK REVIEW: “He Who Finds A Wife””
The Application Process
Often times we go to church, we hear a message, get excited, even talk about it for hours-on-end following the service – but then the hard part comes. The part where it is time to apply what you heard. I have found myself struggling with the “A” word often. I usually instinctively respond in the followingContinue reading “The Application Process”
Life Passages XII – Revelation
Madeleine wonders aimlessly through the halls of her high school. She thought she had finally met someone who is more like herself, and unlike the “fake friends” she’d made previously. Yet Devon appears to be another disappointment…a HUGE disappointment. Well, at least according to Madeleine’s current estimation. Devon stands at the other end of the longContinue reading “Life Passages XII – Revelation”
Life Passages XI – The Fall Out
“Mads! Wait up!” Devon calls after Madeleine while running out of his Grandfather’s Collector’s Bookstore. “Oh Come On Madeleine!…Please!” Madeleine continues walking briskly ahead. The sound of Devon’s voice rings in her ears. After a few more paces, Madeleine halts to a stop, and swivels around. “What do you want Devon?” Devon takes a deepContinue reading “Life Passages XI – The Fall Out”
Life Passages X – New Places
Madeleine slowly gazes at the entire quaint book store with intense curiousity. “Um, Did we travel to another time zone, or what?” Madeleine thought to herself as she concentrated on every graphic novel, with weathered covers, and every antiquated, and used book, and dated magazines. “Earth calling Maddy, come in Maddy!” Devon says while wavingContinue reading “Life Passages X – New Places”
