Life Choosing What to Follow As I continue on a journey of trying to both get focused and organized I am learning some odd lessons. > What an I following? Meaning, what am I spending time reading or listening to? How does it relates to my goals and achieving them? Am I following 30 news
Life Wildly Independent, But Lost Somewhere along the years the oddest thing happened. I lost sight of myself. My whole life I've been wildly independent, rebellious, and contentious with authority. It's weird being rebellious and independent but hyper conscious of what everyone else sees you doing. It's a contradiction
Life Entertainment vs. Life As a recovering video game addict this concept has become a regular part of my thoughts. Am I entertaining my life away? Am I entertaining myself away from happiness? Contentment? Fulfillment? Or worse? There's an old saying out there. "All evil needs is for good people to
Life Should You Really Expect Things to Change? I did it to myself... One realization I've had is that I spent many years of my life expecting life to change, even though I was doing absolutely nothing to change it. So here's a question. Are you 1000% happy with your life? Seriously. Are you
Life Not Much to Say Today, Except Practice Long day... it flew by even. This and that, work and life. But I managed to sit down and draw. Even if it was only for 5-10 minutes. I did it. I can see the minor improvements even with short daily intervals like these. And I am building emotional momentum.
Life Who Are You?... Identity I am making my way through a number of audio books... and a theme keeps coming up over and over. It's the continuation of a theme that God started laying the foundation for years ago. I had stepped into a new job, a newly created position as well.
Life Finding Your Style, Your Lane Funny how God works sometimes. It's Monday and here I am sick with a fever Saturday night, which leaves me in no condition to walk around corporate America today. Having a fever is the one thing I won't just power through and still go to work
Life A Country Divided, is Healing? The ever growing divide across the country is healing the country. Now you might read that and say "Um what!?". And that's fair. But hear me out? The rift is growing between "left" and "right". And honestly that's a good
Life Has Time Slipped By on You? Ever woke up only to realize... You have spent most or all of your life not doing what you wanted to be doing? Now don't get me wrong. I am not talking about whether you are happy or successful right now. I am talking about whether or not
Life Sometimes We Get Stuck on the Details Something I am starting to realize that I do. All too often. Well... perhaps almost all the time. Ugh. I get so wrapped up in the details, in the small things that I completely lose track of the progress, the place I am in or worse what forces are working
Life Hatred of Religious Freedom in America? On 15-Jan-2019 CNN reporter Kate Bennett tweeted this out [https://twitter.com/KateBennett_DC/status/1085374915530903553] "So, lemme get this straight, the second lady of the United St ates has chosen to work at a school that openly discriminates against LGBT adults and children." Here's the
Life Finding Organization I've been on a journey of trying to get organized for a very long time. Years and years I have tried this and that. Methodology after methodology. Computer apps, Android apps, paper and pencil, everything. Finally after many years I have distilled everything I have gone through and
Life Wanting to Want Ever wanted to do something… but can't seem to do it? * Maybe end an addiction! Or maybe try something new! * Maybe lose some weight! Or maybe get in better shape! * Maybe learn a skill! Or maybe change jobs! * Maybe save money! Or maybe get out of debt! Whatever
Life One Year Later Sad to say that it was a year ago... That I launched the previous website version. It lasted for a few months and then life happened. So let's try this again! Lot has happened over the last number of months. Learned a lot of tough lessons, some good.
Life There is a Season for Simple, There is a Season for Complicated One of the lessons I have been learning... Over the last couple of years is that there is a season for everything. Years ago I just thought on a shallow level about God's words on this. Like "Well yeah, that makes sense. Moving on...". But in
Life Where the Real Culture War is? While the media wants us to engage in cultural war... 'left' vs 'right' the reality is the war is 'center' vs 'extremists'. Which are both 'right' and 'left'. The extremists are trying to control the masses. America is
Life You Are Only As Strong As You Are Honest This weekend Pastor Craig Groeschel made a powerful statement. "You are only as strong as you are honest." - @Craig Groeschel [https://twitter.com/craiggroeschel] Deep truth in there. Because lies, deception, secrets, manipulation all eat away at our innards. They weaken our minds and hearts. They distract
Life Anger, Bitter and Numbness Not a long post today. Just a realization. When bitterness and anger turn to numbness the deception is that the anger and bitterness are therefore gone. The reality is that the numbness has covered the anger and bitterness over like a blanket. And one day when the numbness wears off
Life How Do You Get Yourself Motivated? Right out of the gate. I am struggling to focus on this very post to get it done. It's Saturday morning and my mind wants to drift to other things, like chores and errands for the day. As well as just wanting to relax and sit down with
Life Coincidence Coincidence used to be such a "nothing special" word years ago Especially when I thought I was in control. But after I hit rock bottom, after I hit my knees that word started to get my attention more and more. The word is fine, especially in the secular
Life God Plays Chess Backwards A number of years ago this phrase hit me. > God Plays Chess Backwards It sounds kinda silly right? But it's really interesting once you stop and think about it. The Lord is not part of time. He knows the future, as well as the past. It'
Life The Struggle to Decide, is the Problem If you hang around twitter you will run into Jenna Jameson [https://twitter.com/jennajameson]. She's very active, very conservative, and very much able to defend herself. She is a very successful woman. Regardless of your opinion about her former profession as a porn star. She's
Life Expecting a New Kind of Accountability There is a growing trend in the social and network media. People saying ridiculous drama queen statements and accusations for the sole purpose of creating a media firestorm of drama from the extreme ends of their political spectrum and their oppositions extreme end. And then once enough people call them
Life Let's Use Our Thinking Caps Bob & Sally work at same company They work in the same position. Last year their income was: Bob made $50,131.12 Sally made $46,633.60 If you read this and immediately think "That's crap!" or "pay gap" or "woman'
Life Rough Days Are Still Learning Days The day job was killer today. I work in IT actually. Which is funny because I am headed headlong into art right now. Talk about war of the left and right brain. heh. So I get home and do the usual. Make some dinner...
