I look at ADD as basically taking certain traits of a guy and amplifying them. Similarly, I see bipolar as taking certain traits of a woman and amplifying them. This isn’t meant to be insulting to anyone, but rather, it is to help humanize these different labels and give a better understanding of … [Read more...]
Pro or Anti Abortion, We’re Missing the Root
In the early 90s, abortion was a hot topic and led to stories like a Christian fanatic killing an abortion doctor; you know, the thing you expect of a “spiritual” person who is against murder (some people really are special). For some reason abortion has once again become a hot topic (there must … [Read more...]
What Do You Suggest?
Five years ago I was taught when people reach nursing home status they typically ask three basic questions: Did I live? Did I love? Did I matter? These three questions have bounced in my head on and off since I first heard them, and I can confidently say yes to all three because I’ve been blessed … [Read more...]
Jerk or Hero?
I recently watched a movie based on the true story of Eric Liddell called On Wings of Eagles.

Yes, that’s the same movie that gave us the iconic music “Chariots of Fire.” In … [Read more...]

When I … [Read more...]

In general, feeling sad can be hard for everyone because it tends to suck away our motivation and desire to do things. It essentially makes us want to … [Read more...]
How to be cool
Have you ever wondered what makes someone cool? If you haven’t, you’ve either always been cool (not likely) or you’re a knob (said with love) because I don’t know what child/teen hasn’t wondered about this (or maybe that’s a sign none of the kids I hung out with growing up were cool; again, said … [Read more...]
Men aren’t as dumb as their wives think… sometimes
My underlying fear, that under-the-surface-pops-his-head-up-every-once-in-awhile-to-throw-me-off fear is that I’m stupid. At least I’ve had this fear for the past fourteen years since being with my wife. Before that, I can’t remember if that was as much of a problem. Is that a sign of my … [Read more...]
