Healing Hereafter

Having two black sons, a black mentee for several years, and many black friends, these troubled times have certainly made me more seriously consider how I can best engage my black neighbors to truly address injustice. The following thoughts may need adjusting (feel free to comment!), but they've...

Ten is a very fun age. I mean I don't really remember personally, but it sure looks flippin' awesome (you just got dad joked)! This week I enjoyed filming my sons' first "stunt" movie. It's called Hulk Twins, and it's clearly the first step in a very successful YouTube career. The way our tall,...

Many of us feel so trapped. Not just physically, although that's been crazy enough! But the compassionate parts of us that long to help those suffering from the COVID epidemic feel trapped too. What we can make for others is hard to keep free from germs. How we can comfort most people is limited...

Friends of Healing Hereafter, sorry it's been awhile, but we're very excited about why!

But to humor any of you potential detractors out there, I will admit that it wasn't always easy for me to think of our youngest son in such a way...and still isn't when he gets...

Perhaps this rings a bell: you're in a difficult class, your teacher or prof is explaining something really complex, and you are about ready to completely give up having any chance of understanding it. And then she says those magic words, "That was a lot of info, but I summarized what you really...

Or in my son's case, sacrificing the tree for the branch! He has this little quirk that my wife and I have noticed in him from even his earliest days: An inexplicable antagonism toward trees. He's not afraid of them, and he's never had a bad experience with them (to our knowledge). He just likes...

Well, it took 30 years, but I've finally witnessed a fully functioning Mousetrap board game! We had about 2/3 of one when I was a kid, and try my best, I couldn't figure out what the missing pieces were or did. This was maddening, as I just knew the mouse trap contraption would be awesome once...
