Getting 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...

God for Dummies, Like Me

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

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...

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.
