First, A Letter to My Newborn Son – On Feeding Cradling your tiny body in my arms We’ve both shed literal blood, sweat, tears You’re hungry. You just want to eat. You’ve never done this before. Neither have I, baby. I know I’m bigger and stronger and I’m supposed to know what I’m doing and …
Theodore James Fulford was just by a hair fashionably late when he made his debut into the world. It started at roughly 3:40am, not yet 4 hours into September 27th, 2022, when I woke up and thought it was time for my middle-of-the-night pee.

Recently, I have been studying the book of Revelation. Now, if you’re like many Christians, a lot of assumptions just flooded your mind to the effect of… You’re trying to figure out when the world will end! You think the COVID vaccine is the mark of the beast?! You think you know when Jesus will …
