Healing Hereafter
BlogGetting and Giving the Most out of Life
The Yeti. If you just thought of your water bottle, then it's time to watch more shady "documentaries" of "real" creatures late at night. I'm not talking about agua frio; I'm talking about cool mysterious creatures with a cool mysterious name (come on, admit it!). And they happen to make a welcome...
It Causes Depression and Death Without Us Even Knowing It
It lets others limit what our best can be, when we could be free to realize that for ourselves.It keeps us inexplicably idolizing the rockiness of the richest, instead of spending our resources to help the world's poorest. It keeps us teaching each other and our children to sacrifice themselves to...
God for Dummies, Like Me
DISCLAIMER: We are all dummies when it comes to completely understanding a being as complex and lofty as a deity, including the Christian God. Aside from knowing his favorite cereal (obviously Cracklin' Oat Bran!), I have to admit there are many divine details we must be willing to leave as...
One Way We’re All Deceived
For a guy with a whole mouth full of sweet teeth (why only have one?), I still have to admit that some candy is just nasty. Maybe I'm getting old, or maybe my tastes are being "refined"...just not toward refined sugar as much as before! There's a place by us called The Peanut Store that offers...
A Logical, Honest, and Restorative Approach to Abortion
Yep, my blog and book series is all about Healing Hereafter, especially in regard to the after-we-die hereafter. But we also partner with worldwidehousechurch.org to heal hereafters of folks alive now who are in need. And it's really hard to do that genuinely or effectively if we don't at least...
Gotta Go Against the Flow!
It's so hard to resist. You put your child to bed...then after a few hours you tiptoe back into his room. Why? Well, because you love him and really do kinda miss him, despite the chaos he spent the last 12 hours creating. But really you go in there because 1) there could be anything happening...
What Children Are Best at Teaching Us
I adamantly maintain that there are two transitions in life that teach you more than any others. The first is having a second child. The second is well, I won't say, because everyone has at least one uniquely educational transition that I don't know about! But back to the first one: the second...
It’s All Who You Know…and That’s a Good Thing.
So many students I work with right now are preparing for huge standardized tests like the MCAT, DAT, or even more extensive medical board evaluations! The education of a healthcare worker is not typically known as an easy time of blow-off fun, especially in residency. Unless you enjoy taking 2-day...
Valuing Friends over Friendships
Normally a dinner conversation at our house goes something like this: Dad: So Levi, what did you do at recess today today? Levi: Trevor, you're going to get kicked if you stay under the table! Mom: Trevor, back in your chair please. Trevor: AAAAUUUGGGHHHH! Dad: (How did he get under the table...
Let’s Bring Spring!
We're nearing the winter solstice...the longest night. In our post-Covid world, there is more to this than just physical cold and darkness. As we retreat indoors after a long bleak year, there is anxiety, monotony, isolation, sickness, and death. We long for spring, some literally, but almost all...
