Boo! Did I scare you? I doubt it. It is Halloween… how do you feel about that? I grew up in a church that didn’t celebrate halloween… rather we had fall festivals where kids would wear costumes that were “acceptable” – translated – no ghouls, ghosts, witches, dead things… etc.
Are you [...]
Battling the Shed
Hey Jesus. Could you give me a hand renovating my shed? I sure could use some expert help.
He was a carpenter, right?
Carpenters are under appreciated as far as I’m concerned. There’s something about building things with wood. With your two hands. Physical labor.
Guys, I know you’ve all been there. You have this project in mind [...]

One of my favorite writings comes from a guy named Max Ehrmann called the Desiderata. Ehrmann wrote the poem around 1929, which interestingly enough was at the beginning of the great depression. The title of the writing is latin for “desired things”. As we head into some interesting times with the world economy, U.S. elections, [...]

How are you going to waste today? Have you decided? When you woke up this morning did you break out a checklist of items that you absolutely are not going to do?
I’m sure your day will be filled with all types of nonsense and things that really have no weight in the greater scheme of [...]
Even Superman Grows Old
I can’t possibly be half a century old.
But alas, the AARP card I received in the mail confirms it. I am indeed quickly closing in on the big 5-oh.
We all experience those milestone birthdays. You know what I mean. You look forward to turning 16, then 18, then the big 21. After that, 30 comes [...]

So what are you going to do about it? You talk, you complain, you discuss, you debate, your contemplate… but what are you really going to do about it?
I get so tired of the phrase… “yeah… but what can 1 person do?”. That helpless attitude is what evil uses to keep us bound to our [...]
WANTED: ORDINARY.
What this world needs are more ordinary guys. I’m talking about, plain, boring, monotone, dorky, average, dudes that don’t have a 6-pack set of abs, or bulky biceps. It’s tough being perfect isn’t it? I figure that since we are physical specimens to be admired and studied, and our intellect is far [...]

Life is so dadburn fragile. We run around like cowboys (10ft. tall and bullet proof ) living right on the edge. Even the average day is filled with chaos, most of which is unknown to us. I had a buddy ask me the other day if I thought we were living in [...]
Bridging the Gap
After reading Greg’s WANTED: AUTHENTICITY, I got a big lump in my throat. I thought am I that transparent to Greg? Could he see right through me? I thought about all the people I know and respect and I realized that we all want to be known for something. Some people say that they don’t [...]
