    Religulous

    It was a cold day in January, that time of year when the warmth of summer seems a distant memory and spring is an eternity away.  Everything feels bleak.  The days are grey, lifeless, uninviting.  Even the sun doesn’t feel welcome and retreats before 6 pm. This particular day, I had collected the mail and […]

    Lettuce Is Not Easily Offended

    “Steak and ice cream, those are the essentials!” I said mirthfully to the man standing behind me in line at the grocery store.  It was 11:50 pm and we were both getting some last minute items ahead of the impending snowpocalypse that was supposed to start in the wee hours of the morning. He smiled […]

    Standing In The Midst Of

    As I waltzed into the UPS Store, there was a certain glee to my step and a grin to my face as after many months of long eBay toiling, it had finally sold.  The “it” here is a certain fine china set gifted to me by a very generous friend as a house warming present.  […]

    The Head vs The Heart

    Author’s note: Though I wrote this piece back in 2010, and much has changed with me since then, I think the main idea I addressed still has relevance today and hence I thought it worth sharing. “Jeremy” Laurece began tenderly, her serene, rich voice filling the air around me. “The longest distance in the world is […]

  • How Much Does It Really Weigh?

    How Much Does It Really Weigh?

    Today, April 17th, 2017, is the deadline for everyone’s favorite annual activity: filing federal income taxes. This year was a little different than normal for me as after my first pass through my taxes, I took an additional 10 hours to read through tax law concerning deductions and credits looking for anything I may be able to take […]

    Upping Your Batting Average

    When shopping for clothes, nothing gets me quite as excited as getting something I like at a great deal.  So when an email from the retailer American Eagle showed up in my inbox stating that the long sleeve flex thermals I like were now in clearance and 60% off, my bargain-hunting brain did a little […]

    Puttings Things Into Motion

    Without a doubt, there is no question that I am most definitely, most assuredly, a nerd.  A quick glance around my room and one would find it littered with books of every kind imaginable from things like classic fiction, to spiritual growth, to cat behavioral management. One of my favorite categories of nerdom is physics, […]

    Peacocking

    I was recently driving on the interstate, cruising along in the left hand lane, as is my usual custom.  That lanes tends to be where I spend most of my time since I often consider those numerical signs on the side of the road as “speed suggestions”, and the other lanes aren’t quite as amenable […]

    One

    This election, perhaps more than any election in recent years, has drawn to the surface unparalleled levels of divisiveness.  Social media are often merely containers for vitriol as it is commonplace to see statements like “If you vote for ______ then you’re (insert your favorite derisive adjectives)”.  Even among my brothers and sisters in Christ, […]

  • Emotional Honesty

    Emotional Honesty

    If you’ve known me for any length of time, you’ve probably heard me talk rather excitedly about emotional intelligence.  It’s one of my favorite subjects to talk about, and practically something I preach on because I value it so much.  To define emotional intelligence, I would say it is the ability to identify and manage […]
