Write 200 words and call me in the morning
Sometimes writing is therapeutic, just sitting down to get things out that are bugging you or frustrating you. Sometimes it publishable material, other times it’s better kept to yourself because it could incriminate you with your psychopathic tendencies. I don’t even know if I’ll post this when I’m done, but I needed to write. Today [...]
OneWord365: Identity
This year I have decided to participate in OneWord365, something that I am both excited and a little apprehensive about doing. I spent a lot of time thinking, reflecting, and praying about the one word that I wanted to spend 2012 focusing on and only one thing kept coming to mind over and over again. [...]
2011 in review
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog. Here’s an excerpt: A San Francisco cable car holds 60 people. This blog was viewed about 2,100 times in 2011. If it were a cable car, it would take about 35 trips to carry that many people. Click here to see the [...]
Windshields Cleaners: A Proven Method for Friendship
Most of my life was spent alone. Sure I had acquaintances that I called “friends” but it was nothing more than a few words throughout the day at school or church. I didn’t have accountability, friendship, that one thing that keeps us going, knowing there is someone we can depend on. Then that all changed [...]
Am I Crazy?
Some of you would probably answer that too quickly (Adam) but hear me out before you make the final judgment on my sanity. As you have probably been able to tell from my past posts, God has been doing something in me over the past several months: in a nutshell, teaching me to embrace who [...]
First World Facebook
What you see above caused a lot of controversy and snide comments across Facebook and Twitter, both of my feeds were full of them – as they are every time Facebook so much as changes it’s font. Sure they have been natorious for making changes to layout, how you comment, chat features, etc but [...]
Patriotism and Faith: Contradiction?
I knew when this post came to my mind that it was going to ruffle some feathers, but decided that I would go forward with it anyway. This is my blog, this is where I share my feelings, opinions, and journey with the few of you that read and what a better way to come [...]
Criminally Cautious
Matthew 25:14-27 (The Message) 14-18“It’s also like a man going off on an extended trip. He called his servants together and delegated responsibilities. To one he gave five thousand dollars, to another two thousand, to a third one thousand, depending on their abilities. Then he left. Right off, the first servant went to work and [...]
Dictionary Discussion
Starting this week I’m going to start a new series called “Dictionary Discussion”. It’s going to be simple yet, hopefully, start a lot of discussion. What I am going to do is present a word with it’s meaning as listed in the dictionary and then hand it over to everyone to discuss that word and [...]
The Unknowns
Part of the name of this blog is “Other Unknowns” because, besides going into fatherhood without any experience or much preparation, life is full of all kinds of unknowns and charting a course along the way. I know that there are many of us out there that are either charting a journey into unknown areas [...]
