My wife is scheduled to have a c-section for our third daughter January 31. Am I excited? Good question. Last week my wife told me the baby moved into the head down ready for delivery position, so she could essentially be born at any time and within a few hours of hearing that I had a sty develop … [Read more...]
“Am I Okay?” vs “Are You Okay?”
As someone who has been working with couples for a long time it’s always exciting to see something new that leaves me wondering, “How didn’t I see that before?” I should point out that working with couples, the patterns don’t vary all that much. Considering there are four communication styles and … [Read more...]
How can I be a Good Person?
A friend recently asked me, “How can I be a good person?” And when I say “friend” I don’t mean my imaginary friend (he’s not that self reflective). Misleading people isn’t a quality associated to being a good person... or is it? Either way, asking annoying questions just makes you annoying (well … [Read more...]

It can be hard to like things when you have a negative brain, especially something bad like a negative brain – I’m negative about being negative. That being said, having a negative brain has its benefits. For instance, having a negative … [Read more...]
When God Isn’t There
This year has been the gold medal winner of awful for me (not to brag). If someone told me I had been cursed I would be like “That makes sense.” The best way to summarize in one sentence what I’ve been experiencing (a healthy practice) is it feels like I’m a cat toy being batted around; sometimes … [Read more...]
What is Success? (Defining Inferior and Superior Thinking Pt 4)
Over the last month I’ve been looking at the idea that some people see life from an “I’m inferior” or “I’m superior” mindset. I also pointed out that in our humanity, we’re all equal because… well, we are. As a Christian, I believe that we are not only God’s creation, we are His children – that’s … [Read more...]
