Church in Clovis, CA putting Faith, Hope and Love into Action
While I recognize that writing a sports piece for the Behind the Scene has the potential to alienate any of our non-sporty readers, I am going to throw caution to the wind and continue with this article. However, I promise to limit myself to using only two overdone sports analogies, like “When you find yourself Read More …
Has there ever been a moment in your life when you would have bet every last dime you had only to discover that if you had, you’d be broke? That happened to me last summer during a two-week school intensive when my cohort served dinner to the “down and out” at a church’s soup kitchen Read More …
Last week, after writing ¾ of a totally uninspiring article about neuro-linguistics, I realized it would be best to let the Behind the Scene take Thanksgiving off like the rest of America.

Is it “artsy fartsy” stuff made by “artsy fartsy” people? Or do you Read More …
Anyone who has been around me for longer than an hour knows I am constantly fidgeting with something. Be it tapping a pen, twirling keys, or stretching a rubber band, this fidgeting soothes me. Sure, it drive everyone around me nuts, but what’s a fidgeter to do? Today I found myself empty handed when I Read More …
I have grown to hate the word “epic.” At one point it was a fantastic word to describe a colossal event. However, 20 somethings have overused the word epic as bad as their older siblings misused the words “the bomb” and “radical.” When one says, “I had an epic taco for lunch,” or “Last night Read More …
Over the past 7 years I have been spoiled because in some form or another I have had the privilege of sharing an office with others. At one time there were 3-5 of us at any given time in a 250square foot room! I realize that all of you introverts out there are wondering how Read More …
