Homeless is Not a Good Place to Be
What kind of sin does one need commit to lose a friend? It’s never a treasured moment to have contact severed with someone we enjoy. In my opinion a friendship should never be set asunder without a very good reason. Perhaps something along the lines of dishonesty, maybe physical or emotional harm. Theft would also [...]

The authorities grant us a hearing of sorts at the beginning. It’s an appearance before a judge who makes a decision on our eviction process. For many of us, by the time it happens, we’ve been forced to move to a rental unit. The rest, like me, have a mortgage we can’t pay by that [...]

Guess you could say I’m a “both sides guy” on that issue. There certainly have been a number of times in my life, well into three digits, quite possibly four, where it’s what I’ve needed. Prayed for. Languished over. Flipping that one over to the other side, there’ve been a substantial number of times I’ve [...]

At times I amaze myself. It would be nice to think it happens because I, Bill Cady, am an amazing man, but even I have to concede that’s a big reach. Maybe it’s more accurate to say commonplace matters are so new to me they become amazing. Or, something in between. For the sake of [...]

Remember that pithy old saying, “When life hands you lemons, make lemonade”? Anyone who ever had a grandmother has heard that one. As we get older, maybe because we’re nearing the age of the person(s) who passed these gems along to us, they begin to make more sense. That one came to mind for me [...]

It would be wonderful to announce that much about the cancer I’ve been screwing around with the last two-plus years, and I believe such an announcement will be forthcoming not too far down the road. However, for the moment, the good news is contained to the other event that became a temporary setback for me. [...]

These travels have encompassed so many miles, so many days of my life, a vast multitude of years, And, I must confess, there have been times I’ve quit, I have given in, have succumbed to my fears. You were but the figment of an imagination — mine, you were a goddess never to exist for [...]
