About

My name is Bill Claxton. I’m a father of three married children with three grandchildren and one on the way.  I’ve spent the bulk of my life, so far, doing things with my hands like building cabinets, painting, landscaping………

My gifts lean towards the arts – painting, drawing, music, photography, writing…

I started writing recently because, well to be honest, I was bored and looking for another outlet for my creativity. My stories are frequently about events from my past and range from serious to seriously ridiculous.

One of the driving forces in my life is the God of the Bible. I don’t claim to be a Bible scholar, but I do believe that God has orchestrated events in my life, giving me something worth writing about. I’ve had the pleasure throughout my life to meet interesting people both in and out of the US who shared my beliefs and they have become a vital part of my family.

Life is full of turmoil and anyone who tells you differently is either living in an emotional vacuum or is a compulsive liar. It was for this purpose that I started this blog. Because each person has days full of disappointment and trouble, we all need a little lift, something simple to brighten our moods. I want this site to be an encouragement to anyone who reads it and I hope it makes you feel better about yourself.

While it is not my intention to offend, sometimes the truth is offensive. So please accept my apologies in advance if I write something that you disagree with. And hey, it’s okay to disagree; just because I think something is right doesn’t make it so.

The coffee theme is a work in progress. Basically I’m a coffee addict. I figure there are three driving forces behind my writing skills: God, a vivid imagination, and coffee………lots of it.

So for now……

Thanks for stopping by my site and thanks for reading! Grace and peace!
