We Are Not Just What We Are Made Of
It has occurred to me over the course of my time spinning upon this oddly shaped ball, that one of the gravest mistakes in this life comes when we look at the things around us and only consider what they are made of and not what they are. C.S. Lewis discussed this in “The Voyage…

It Feels Bad Is Vastly Different Than It Is Bad
Whoopi Goldberg made me think about emotions while people made fun of her for days on X. I didn’t think much about what she said. It was nonsense. But I did think about why she believed what she said. She felt something deeply that got her mocked online for a few days. It’s not that…

Is The Death Penalty Moral?
I have been asked a few times whether or not the Death Penalty is moral. Some of you will read this and immediately jump to “Of course it’s moral.” Others will take the opposite stance just as fast. And so, it is understandable that I would receive this question two times in the last month…

Cultural Rot Means the Work is Different
Things are not the same as they once were. In fact, they are vastly different. The immediate response might be to shake your head and think the young’uns are just foolish. While I would agree that there is a whole lot of foolishness being exhibited right now. I would also say that we don’t get…

You Need Difficulties
I am in my 40’s and have returned to the gym. For the most part I am weight training. I am doing some cardio, but it’s not my focus. I am in there to build muscle. And I must tell you, I feel a lot better. I feel stronger. I’m losing weight. And even things…

You Have A Greater Obligation To Those Close To You
Subsidiary is not a word or principle we think through today. But it is a way that we naturally make decisions. And it’s also a biblical way of making decisions. If you don’t know what it is, you should listen to JD Vance as he argues that America First is a Christian concept. Immediately, this…

There Are No Mere Mortals
My son is autistic. This fact has allowed me to think through certain things differently and more thoroughly than a lot of people. It has forced me to do so. When you have a child that is different than most other children, then you ponder the differences as well as other things. My son speaks,…

He Disciplines Because He Loves
Now, a quick scan of the Book of Amos will reveal a whole host of pain being sent from the heavens like a Lucha Libre. Except this was years of pain and suffering instead of an exotic high flying elbow drop. This discipline would not last forever because it was not Final Judgment and there…

The Eternal Warning Label on Covid-19
Warning labels exist to tell us that danger is ahead. They tell us to think about what we are doing in that moment and that a wrong decision could cost us dearly. I heeded the warning not to take pain killers before driving after I’d had my knee surgery. I’m sure many of you have…

I Am Thankful That I Exist
I am thinking through reasons to be thankful over the next few days. I have been blessed beyond belief and know that. Yet, this time of year forces me to examine my life and give that a little extra consideration. And, I am writing that here, for all to see. Or, like 5 people to…
