Hate Redoing Things?

I was lost somewhere inside my mind today at work, doing my part of our current little project as the new kid (17) did his a few feet away. I have no idea how, but I suddenly got a tingle in my sixth sense that he was about to do his part backwards — another …

Whether to Get Involved

A few days ago my friend informed me his wife caught him wayyy too drunk over the weekend. In his own words they had an intervention. He cried; he asked for help; she poured beer down the sink. . . The whole nine yards. I felt relieved that I could finally talk to him about …

The Principle of the Path: a Prison or Freedom

Hey hey! I’m really happy you’re here; if this is your first time just know you’re welcome. Most of what I talk about ends up linking to faith (whether I mean for it to or not), but if you’re not on the same wavelength there’s still a chair for you. No one expects you to …

Freaking 2020

Hey hey! How's it going? If this is your first time, or your first time in a while, welcome! I won't keep you long today; I just mainly want to say: WOW. What a year huh? 2020 started out for me with things be-bopping along as usual. I never thought a few months later I …

Been Outside Lately?

I used to spend as much time outdoors as I could doing virtually anything, so long as I had a partner in crime. I don’t know for sure what happened... I think it was “adulting” that ruined it. I remember having to create a new email address once I “moved back inside” because I didn’t …

When Writing is Blocked

I find it incredibly difficult to write when I can’t think of something to passionately pen words about. What do you do when things aren’t flowing?

On Bullies and Justice

--What the fu&% are you looking at? I will beat your ass.--Cody-esque I think, perhaps -- hopefully, I can finally move on. I'm not sure what the pastor said, something related to love (not bullies) . . . and yet my brain, in its spider-web way took me back to middle school. I first put …

No: The Word The World Needs

There’s a word which could change the world as we know it. There are probably several, but oh how we need this one. No. A young boy is on the playground with his buddies, who are making fun of him about a sore subject. Typically he wouldn’t care and give it right back, but this …

More Joy and Less Regret

Today’s topic is a life trick I’ve discovered and considered a lot recently; I’m thoroughly convinced it will work well for nearly everyone. It makes me better at life, and life is better. If your wants and desires by nature always guide you to outcomes you enjoy, then this post isn't for you. Congratulations! Have …

Your Objections to Christianity Don’t Have to Keep You From Jesus

I’m back! Last weekend was consumed by my water heater, which I ultimately gave up on and replaced, so I couldn’t find time to post. I’d like to add to the Why Follow Jesus series today (first post Here). I realize I live in a post-Christian time; most have “been there, heard that, done that.” …
