When I was first married, I thought my job as a husband was to provide the material things necessary for a good life. I worked hard to pay the rent, buy the food, and fill the car with gas. This is where many men get stuck. Then, several years later, I began to understand that [...]

When I first began to learn about digital signals and why they are usually superior to analog signals, it seemed to be a paradox. The analog signal can reproduce a continuous range better, but only when the signal is clear. This is why hard core audiophiles still like to listen to vinyl records. The digital [...]

“Good decisions come from experience, and experience comes from bad decisions” Anonymous I really like this quote and the seeming paradox it implies, but it boils down to the fact that the best lessons are learned after making a mistake. It’s why we study history. It’s why we look at past performance of stocks, athletes, [...]

I admit to being in a bit of a bubble when it comes to the modern state of relationships. Most of mine are quite stable and healthy. My wife and I work hard at keeping a strong marriage. We work so hard, in fact, that I lose track of how other people are doing. That’s [...]

During my high school years, I made a point of taking classes that taught me to speak publicly and debate a bit. That thought process makes you think your ideas through clearly and consider the common objections to your point. It also makes you carefully consider your audience. Knowing the attitude and knowledge level of [...]

I was struck today by my feelings about the price of gas coming down a bit. I was happy, but contemplated the fact that, although the price is coming down, I can still remember when five bucks bought a fair amount of gas. We are like that. We will rush to any kind of relief [...]

We’ve had a few of those Christmas mornings where the little kid (or kids) thought the box was more fun than the toy inside. It’s always worth a laugh when you consider the contrast between the twenty or thirty dollar toy being ignored for the two dollar cardboard box it was shipped in. Later on [...]

One of the problems encountered by Bible translators is the fact that the original Hebrew and Greek words carry more specific or heavier meanings than any of the English words they can choose from. So, do you translate to the closest word? Do you translate to a few words that describe it better, but lose [...]

I have been watching the baseball playoffs and it is evident that the best pitchers can control the placement of their pitches. The closeness of pitches to a particular quadrant of the strike zone puts the pitcher in control. To the naked eye of the fan, it is sometimes impossible to see the nuance that [...]

I’ve always believed that God works in the world today just like He did when Jesus walked the earth and just like He did when Noah walked the earth. I still get a chuckle, though, when I see God working through modern parts of our life. In other words, I almost expect to hear from [...]
