I’ve been employing liberal use of the “unfollow” feature on Facebook as of late. With all the drama surrounding ISIS, the Israel-Hamas kerfuffle, ebola, and whatever else the media decides should be sensationalized that day, I really don’t like even reading the headlines or short updates that most of my friends post. I still value […]
I’ve been struggling with an increasingly heavy burden lately. It’s a feeling that’s been like a burning deep in my chest that has been growing over the past year. I’ve always carried this dim smolder of drive, determination, and desire for something great. Everything kind of went to shit when we returned from Tanzania. In […]
Advancement in life always predicated on the nurturing of skill. For example, if you’re a mechanic and want to be a better mechanic and consequently make more money, you need to further your skills and knowledge. The beauty of life is that everything can be learned. In this day and age if you want to […]
I wrote previously about Noah here but I wanted to revisit the subject since I had the pleasure of seeing the movie with my wife this afternoon. My Facebook feed was blowing up with comments from my Christian friends sharing their thoughts and they ranged from disgust to enjoyment. Some were upset at how “it […]
Sometimes the death of a prominent evil person is a victory, other times it is not. When Hitler killed himself it was the nail in the coffin that was already pressing down on him. An Allied victory was close at hand but the loss of his leadership was an event that probably saved many […]
I was sitting eating lunch today and reading when I looked up and saw my dog doing what she’s started making a habit of recently which is rubbing her sides on the couch. We’ve recently got new-old couches that look a good deal better than our old ones. These new ones are made of a […]
I’m not going to lie or sugar coat it. 2013 sucked balls. Too foul? It was total shit. Still too much? 2013 was difficult, unpleasant, and incredibly depressing. There, that was the one. Sonja, my normally sweet and kind wife wanted to make a shirt that simply said in black letters, “F*ck 2013″, and I […]
Click here for the leaked trailer for “Noah” So the Noah & the Ark story is coming out in film form and it actually looks pretty good. It’s also been made by one of my all time favorite directors, Darren Aronofsky. Of course Christians around the world (or at least in the States) are enthusiastic […]
I was on Facebook today when I checked my notifications and saw a group invite from someone I don’t interact with on a normal basis. They were inviting me to a group called, “Block Ashley Madison”. Thinking that Ashley Madison was a person I googled the name and found that Ashley Madison was a website […]
I’ve always enjoyed thinking. Maybe you were the same way but as a child I was never bored and I was, honestly, quite vexed by the idea. Bored? As in you don’t have anything to do, think about, make, imagine, or explore? How utterly perplexing that must be. As we go through school we more […]
