“Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name!”- Psalm 103:1 ESV Last year was a particularly difficult one for me. I felt alone, isolated, depressed, and tired. I knew that things needed to change, that I needed to change, and that my life needed to change. CarryingContinue reading “Philosophy, Theology, Preparedness.”

Like.
What is a word you feel that too many people use? It’s become part of common vernacular, in the past twenty years, to add the term “like” intermittently into sentences where it has no relevant place. To explain why I think this is a bad thing, we have to discuss something very important to me:Continue reading “Like.”
The Addicted Society
What would you change about modern society? We are trapped. Directly before you is a nearly complete library of all human knowledge since the dawn of civilization itself. A network or webway of infinite human knowledge. A sharpening system for the sword of the mind. But what was offered up to us as a beaconContinue reading “The Addicted Society”

Overcoming Digital Addiction: A Slow Journey to Consistency
For the past four years, I’ve been making blog posts. Over that time, I’ve managed to tally up only 75 actual posts to this page. More than 1000 days, and I’ve made 75 posts. I’m not off to a great start, am I? I’ve never been particularly consistent. It seems in life if there’s oneContinue reading “Overcoming Digital Addiction: A Slow Journey to Consistency”
The Deep Dark Void (of home improvement)
Once again, as has happened every year for the past three years, things have gone horribly wrong. Shocker, I know. Every time I think I’m going to commit to posting more frequently, something comes up and ruins the plan. Maybe I’m the problem, or maybe it’s just dreadful luck.

The Pain of Doing Nothing
Do lazy days make you feel rested or unproductive? I feel dull. My eyes are glazed over. I’m exhausted. I’ve done nothing. And I do nothing. The cost of a truly lazy day is this hazy, dull sensation, which can definitely drag you down. I don’t like doing nothing. Specifically, the kind of mindless nothingContinue reading “The Pain of Doing Nothing”
