How to Persuade a God?
I skipped yesterday’s Daily 15 minute writing session. Partly because I was tired. Partly because...
Read MoreGoldilocks Syndrome, Church, and Lazy Thinking
So, my mother got mad at me the other day. She accused me of purposely adding Kung Fu for the kids on Sundays so that I could have an excuse for her not to take them to church with her. She’s wrong. I don’t want her...
Read MoreThe Right Philosophy Won’t Save You
Ladies and Gentlemen, as I’m sure many of you have realized by now, I am a Control Freak. I know. It caught me unaware, too. (I kid, I kid!) And I am this way, a grasping, clamoring, rigid, inflexible, unreasonable person...

Read MoreActing on Faith
The other day, I briefly mentioned in my post about how I used to fake believing I was loved and lovable until I actually believed it. It occurs to me that perhaps I made it sound so much easier than it actually was. So, here is...
