Three Things We All Do
Nov 23rd
I’m constantly amazed by my interactions with people. It seems the vast majority of us don’t realize that we are so similar to other people. Instead, we think that whatever we’re going through, however we’re thinking and acting… that somehow we’re completely unique in that. We’re not that unique. Human beings, it seems, are very [...]
The Power Of A Coach
Oct 8th
OK, so you know that I normally don’t shamelessly promote my coaching business here on the blog, but I wanted to share a few success stories with you. Coaches really do make a difference in people’s lives.
One of my clients has really been struggling balancing work and play. Over the course of many months, she [...]
Why I Spend $52 More On Gas
Sep 30th
I often stop at the same gas station each week to fill up on gas. The cost is generally about 10 cents more per gallon than another station further down the street. Why do I knowingly pay more for gas each week?
Yes. My gas buying habits result in me paying a whopping $52 more per [...]

When Did You Break Yourself?
Jul 27th
I thought I’d try a little video entry to get you through your week. The main point is that Jesus was pretty clear when he told us that we were already saved (past tense and present reality), that religious institutions tend to get God’s message a little wrong (they aren’t God and shouldn’t be speaking [...]
Make The Downtimes A Blessing

Have you ever heard someone say “well, that was really a blessing” when referring to some tragedy in their life? You know, they got injured in an accident or something. And, looking back on the experience, they express gratitude for it because it turned out to be a real blessing.
A friend of mine lost her [...]
Have You Ever Been Robbed of Something?
Jul 9th
Like all good teachers, Jesus used vivid stories to illustrate his points, and like all good stories, they were meant for a specific audience, in a specific time, at a specific place, and with specific culture references and techniques. The preferred story of Jesus’ time for his audience was something called a parable.
Parables are unique [...]
Let Go Of My Ego
Jul 6th
At some point Jesus told us to deny ourselves. In fact, I think he may have said the actual words “Deny yourself.” There’s more to what he said than just that, but I want to focus on this concept of denying ourselves.
Jesus was speaking metaphysically, of course, and Christians have been trying to interpret it [...]
An Homage to My Troubled Childhood
Jul 3rd
As Julie Andrews once sang “somewhere in my youth or childhood….” It seems the Number One excuse we use in our daily lives has something to do with having a traumatic childhood.
“A bully beat me up.” “My parents were alcoholics.” “I was abused.” “I was abandoned.” “I was locked in a closet with a mountain [...]
This Blog Is Now Made With Natural Sugar
Jul 2nd
I’m joining the ranks of the super corporations of the planet. Pepsi, Starbucks, 7Up, “the big cereal monopolies”, heck even Snapple… they all agree: Natural Sugar is the way to go.
This opens the door to a Big Giant Question: Were they using UNnatural sugar before? Actually, they were using artificial sweeteners and “high fructose corn [...]
