Sometimes, I can spend so much time and effort trying to break into a fortress that I hardly recognize it when the door has simply opened. I had that experience recently when someone for whom I’ve been praying for some time, emailed me to ask for a little advice. My first thought was, “Geez, how [...]

If you’ve been to a doctor’s office recently, you’ve seen the little chart they all have that is supposed to help patients rate the pain they are feeling on a scale from 1 to 10. It has a little happy face at one end to signify no pain at all and a severely grimacing face [...]

It’s probably not until late grade school that a child begins to understand that others may have feelings and desires that don’t coincide with their own and may have actually have higher priority. But, this realization doesn’t mean a change of behavior right away. It takes years. I know middle-aged folks who still don’t think [...]

I wouldn’t know from experience, but it seems it would be hard for an actor to play the role of a historical figure that is well-known or a fictional character with an established library of acting. It’s one thing to be creative and make the character your own. But, if the character is already known [...]

There’s a family I know that came into a significant inheritance some years back. Up until that point, they had been very much a middle class family. Afterwards, the house got upgraded, the backyard got a pool, they started taking more trips, the ladies were wearing fancier jewelry, and other things changed. But, even then, [...]

I find myself in a constant battle between my success and my failures in regards to my growth. I am an expert in reaching back and sitting on past success while simultaneously whipping myself for my failures. Paul had it right when he spoke about always looking forward while putting things in the past in [...]

Even my wife and son think I’m a bit weird in that I enjoyed school. I enjoyed learning. I still do. It’s not unheard of for me to read a technical book in bed or on the weekend to relax. I can easily get lost learning all of the trivial details about some historical event, [...]

A few years ago, Ken Jennings made a name for himself by being the most successful contestant on “Jeopardy” of all time. He carried around an impressive amount of knowledge in his head on a variety of subjects. Being able to have access to that much information at will is impressive. Depth and breadth of [...]

Politicians are experts at saying one thing when they mean another. They sound like they are promising liberty when they are really limiting freedom. They sound like they are promising prosperity when they are really limiting opportunities. It offends us when we see this happen because it’s not only deceptive, but it insults the intelligence [...]

I have read enough political opinion to hear both sides of the argument about whether to repeal laws outlawing “victimless” crimes. Some of the more Libertarian among us argue for legalizing drugs, legalizing prostitution, and more because, they claim, everyone involved is a consenting adult and there are no victims. It’s not like a murder [...]
