The Haunting of Bly Manor

The Haunting of Bly Manor thoughts. The danger of any genera is seeing a success and trying to clone it. It just does not work, no matter how much the studios and management want it to do so. Great art explores the aspects of human nature in all of its’ facets.

Goals For 2017 – Constantly Growing

Goals are easily set but hard to keep if we don’t make plans to see them accomplished.  Last year I decided to only set 4 goals.  I believe that helped make those goals easier to work out. So for 2017, I intend to only set four as well. Goals Walked Out in 2016: This past […] Goals are easily set but hard to keep if we don’t make plans to see them accomplished.  Last year I decided to only set 4 goals.  I believe that helped make those goals easier to work out.

Summer Reflections

Summer is a time of changing gears, slowing down, and vacation.  For me it is a time of Summer reflections, time to look back and look forward. Won’t you join me? Summer Reflections: Another school year has come to an end.  This one was good one, but moved very quickly.  In many ways this school […] Summer is a time of changing gears, slowing down, and vacation.  For me it is a time of Summer reflections, time to look back and look forward.

It can be a hard time of year or a good time of year. With family, you should be yourself. So why […] Being yourself is not easy.  Many times being around family makes it even more challenging.  It is time we talked about it! <a href=" https://geoffgentry.org/2016/06/04/being-yourself-with-family/">Read more…</a>

I grew up in the church and we have a phrase, “mountain top experiences.” It is used to describe times of intense emotions, spiritual breakthrough and growth. Growing up and even as an adult I have had many.

Growing up and even as an adult I have had many. I cherish them, but the challenge is coming back down or serving others in the midst of them. It’s hard to go back to the valley. <a href="https://geoffgentry.org/2016/03/24/mountain-top-experiences-sily-401/">Read more…</a>
