Bio
I mostly write from raw events and spiritual encounters. True stories shaped by pain, clarity, and moments when God felt close. Each piece is a reflection of what I have lived, what I have learned, and what still lingers in the soul.

Just Wanted Bacon on My Burger
I went to Burger King with my wife. We ordered separately on the app so we could each earn our own points. I wanted to enjoy a nice cheeseburger, which was on sale through the Burger King app. It was a free cheeseburger if you bought something for a dollar. I added bacon to it and also ordered a side item.

Again
Again Memory breaks. Reality repeats By Joey Raines The toilet handle had been broken so long that it had become part of the house. A crooked piece of metal, hanging uselessly, unmoving.

The Apartment
The Apartment A Dream That Stayed With Me By Joey Raines My Dream I dreamed that after being gone for a long time, I finally returned to my apartment. The hallway was different. A maintenance man had remodeled it, and everything looked changed. Because of that, I could not remember which door was mine. I stopped for a moment, told him how nice his work looked, and then kept looking until I realized my door had been there all along, untouched. I had simply forgotten which one it was.

A Restaurant Experience
A Restaurant Experience My wife and I had decided to go out for dinner one evening. When we arrived at the restaurant, the hostess directed us to our table, quickly setting down our menus and silverware before walking away as if her shift had ended. She never bothered to notice that the booth she had assigned us was completely unsuitable for a heavy person like myself. The booth seats were fixed in place, and there simply wasn't enough room for me to fit comfortably.
