A friend once said to me, “You think too much for people and it allows them to blame you when things go wrong.” To be honest, when my friend said it, it hurt. I didn’t like it. It stung me to the core. But after getting over my own drama, I realized that it was …
Two Guys Walk Into A Church
Two guys walks into a church. A pastor is standing at the front of the church pews. The two guys walk up to him, and the first guy says, “I’ve come to seek forgiveness for my sins.” “Absolutely. You are already forgiven. Know that what Jesus did on the cross covered everything you’ve ever done …
Finding The Person
This is in many ways a confession post. I’ve been married more than fifteen years. This last year my wife and I had to come to terms with what it really meant to be married. To move forward we had to seek help and learn to rebuild our marriage. It has been a painful process …

We don’t change much do we. We’re still searching for meaning. Meaning appears to inform our humanity about who we …
The LOST Recap
So I spent the better part of a few nights watching all six seasons of LOST. I shared some of my early insights on the show here and here. I still maintain it is the best show ever created for television, largely because its about the deepest of human experiences. The entire show was about …
Downsizing
So I’ve been away a while. But there’s a reason. I’ve been downsizing my life. Over the last several years my wife and I have been looking at the cost of “big”. I have lived in a big house (3300 sq ft). There are some days I wanted to chop off the top of my …
If You Really Knew Me
This is probably the best video I’ve seen this year. I dare you to watch it. This kid is 18. Such amazing honesty.
