My travels around this great country have given me the opportunity to explore and appreciate a variety of God's scenery. Wishing not to leave these wondrous places behind, I have written prose and poetry about them and gathered momentos along the way: a rock, a seashell or a bit of sand poured into an old bottle. I am not a poet or artist by any definition; I just write what I feel (big on feelings) and paint on anything acrylics will adhere to. At first view, in my younger years, I didn't comprehend the vastness of the ocean; it was just really big water. The desert was hot, dry, flat and endless. As I have now reached my so called mid-life years (maybe a little over mid), my sight has turned from out to in.

My small home business is not very lucrative, at least at the present. I tend to give away my work. Saws, pans, sand dollars, clay pots, old camp plates, and bread board all make great painting surfaces. Wood, wood, wood, new wood, old wood. Sand a little, paint a little, add a few embellishments, and I have clocks, magnets and unique signs. Check out our Clocks 'N Crafts page.

To date, I have eight publishing credits to my name and keep on writing, good therapy for the soul. The Believe Publications page of this site will lead you to my books, "Up Country", "At the End of the Day", and "Jacob's Dream Machine". Passage Publishing is now in business to serve the publishing needs of others. See our Library page for titles we have released for authors across America.

My newest little venture. . .After paying hundreds of dollars for high-end, anti-aging skin cream, I decided to investigate which ingredients are the best for healthy, younger looking skin. Diet and exercise will always play an important role in overall health, but as we age our skin does begin to show the years. Alot of research and finding an outlet for the highest quality ingredients has led me to manufacturing a skin cream that is light, can be used under makeup or at night, contains no perfumes, and is not animal tested. I call it "Finally", seemed appropriate. Visit our Finally Skin Cream page and if it is the best skin cream you have ever used, come back and bring your friends.

A little word. . .I am trying to grasp a beginning with no ending; there is always a start and stop, a first, then last, birth, then death. All of the inhabintants on this planet sustaining each other, one giving life, one taking life. I can't imagine I have anything of consequence to offer. Each of us seems truly an immeasurable part of the whole picture, relatively unessential. One glance, one thought, one word, one movement, "One", trivial to those of us with more than one of everything. Perhaps the effect of one with sincere intent is more than many with no message.
