living by accident

Living by Accident is a collection of ramblings about life. My life. The ups and downs, the good, the bad and everything else in between.

The more I think about it…

I’ve had a lot of time to think during the past week or so. Some things good, others bad, a lot of it annoying, but things that I really needed to sit down and ponder while I had a minute to do so. About friends and family, relationships, religion, work, school, you name it… [Read more]

What we think vs. Who we are

I’m going to go ahead and preempt this statement with a reminder that it’s nearly 3am, I’ve been up since 8:30am and that was after going to bed somewhere around, oh, I don’t know, 4am or so. So this might not make sense, but do your best to follow along anyway…

This whole process of thought goes along completely with the last couple blurbs that I posted. I was charging through life, so gung ho for this plan I had concocted, but this plan wasn’t working. It was a great start, but the follow through just wasn’t there. [Read more]

In perpetual motion…

It’s been a month since I tried to set myself on the path back to where I need to be. I have to be honest, it wasn’t easy, but I think that time away helped me to open my eyes up to all the things I had missed. Somehow I developed this hardened view of my church, which I carried from new church to new church in my time away, and I don’t know where it came from. But I went back. [Read more]

On starting over…

If you haven’t noticed, there aren’t any posts left on this page. The past is the past, the future is the future, and it’s all out of my hands. Not that I’ve forgotten everything, but I’m moving away from everything. I’m putting it all behind me. Giving it up to God to let Him sort it out. I’ve learned my lessons. I’ve grown to become a completely different person than I used to be and I’m laying it all down at His feet to do with as He pleases. Not that I ever strayed that far, but I did let my frustrations with the church take over my love and completeness that I found in God.

I guess this deserves, in some sense anyway, a bit of an explanation. [Read more]

This is me

My name is Sam Daugherty. I'm a 28 year old graphic artist, a friend to many, a father to two, and the love of one. I'm a Christian by faith, a liberal at heart and a missionary in spirit.


This is my journal. It's private to me, but public to anyone who happens to find it. I don't promote it, I don't tell anyone it exists, so if you found it, maybe there's a deeper reason as to why.
