candle parties (View Comments)
I got into a fairly involved conversation this past weekend at a candle party. The wife of a friend of mine was hosting one of those parties where the salesperson comes and shows the myriad of uses for candles in your home. My buddy was going to be the only male in attendance, so I [...]
Simplicity (View Comments)
Simplicity is a difficult thing to come by. We live fragmented, disjointed lives, always running from something, to something. We’re trying to get more and more done with less and less time. It’s an impossible race that leaves us tired, empty, drained. We as a society love to prize the man or woman who can [...]
it’s so hard to say you’re sorry (View Comments)
I think one of the fallacies that Christians (and many other people) have is their unwillingness to admit when they are wrong about something. Especially when the reasons for doing so have something to do with faith. There are times when we makes decisions based on what we think are good precepts. We believe that [...]
the invisible man (View Comments)
I have always had a problem with trying to do big, important things. It’s not a problem in that it often works – for whatever reason, many projects I’ve undertaken have been successful for just this reason. But it’s a problem because I’m often closing a door to the mundane as a result. We as [...]
Free Lunch (View Comments)
With the wedding and my upcoming move to Chicago, I’ve been worried a lot about money lately. This week I resolved to not spend any money eating out. This afternoon, as I was sitting in a Starbucks, I realized that I hadn’t eaten anything all day. A few minutes after I realized I was pretty [...]
Lazy Sunday (View Comments)
Every few weeks I get reminded that I work too much. I have a day like today, a day spent at the house watching Walk The Line, eating and being unproductive…and it noticably upsets me. I like to work, and when I don’t I feel as though I’m wasting time. What is that? I believe [...]
Makes you want to be an Athiest (View Comments)
For all my character flaws, I feel as though I’m generally a pretty good natured guy. But these past few weeks I’ve been extremely angry. The majority of clients we work with are fantastic – good natured, easy going, and excited to be collectively striving to acheive a shared goal. But once in a while [...]

The season of giving is supposedly upon us, but as in years past I’m a bit of a humbug. It seems as though I’m not alone. I’ve been witness to a number of conversations in the past week or so about panhandlers and the things they do to ‘trick us’ out of our hard-earned money. [...]

The Bible is just a crutch. God is a belief system that man created to make ourselves feel better. We like to be drawn into a story, and that’s what this old book is – a story. Passed down from generation to generation, probably embellished and changed as the years have passed. It’s a myth, [...]

I had a very interesting conversation with a coworker the other night. It started with a conversation about job stuff but quickly turned into a talk about the meaning of life (it’s officially a trend.) I explained to her why I see us not as evil people but broken people who are missing something very [...]
