What do I talk about here? What are my Voice issues?
* Police and official misconduct
* Wrongful convictions
* Human trafficking
* Justice reform
I also follow genealogy, veteran's issues, history, and a variety of other topics. It's that whole "Writer Unfocused" concept.

This week’s #WWBC prompt is all about favorite lyrics. I’m looking back at the lines from Buffett, Seger, and Steinman that still echo years later. Some songs don’t just play—they linger.

I will confess that out of morbid curiosity, I'd find it interesting to watch the entire process of someone generating a novel using AI. I feel like the prompt would end up being as long as a decent synopsis.

When we Christians are more known for our support of presidents than we are for our support of the poor, the immigrant, the abused, the marginalized, the sick, the hungry, and the oppressed, that is when we know we are following someone other than Jesus and we have a lot of repenting to do.

Along for the Ride | Wildlife Photographer of the Year | Natural History Museum
Against the darkness of the night-time sea, a juvenile swimming crab hitches a ride on a jellyfish.
Chris spotted this scene while scuba diving at night in Lembeh Strait, North Sulawesi, Indonesia.
The relationship between the crab and the jellyfish is not clearly understood.
The crab could be catching a ride to save energy.
It could be using the stinging tentacles as protection from predators.
Or it could be using the jellyfish as a platform to spy out small fish to eat.
For Chris, the scene offered more questions than answers.
Does the crab eat the jellyfish? Does it steal particles of food? Do the crab’s sharp feet damage the jellyfish’s delicate bell?
