George Floyd was killed on May 25th, 2020. Police officer, Derek Chauvin, was charged with his murder. With whom do you identify more: George or Derek? Whose shoes do you believe most closely fit your feet?
Can you put yourself in Derek’s shoes? Can you assume his role?
Assume the worst you can about Derek. Assume that he deliberately set out to murder George. Assume that he enjoyed every…

Thankfulness an Love
We love because He first loved us. [1 John 4:19] Think of someone you love. Why did that person come to mind? At the risk of being offensive, why do you love them? I’m going to argue that, no matter what you might believe, you love the people you love for a reason. Consider this: wouldn’t you say that your life with them is better than your life would be without them? When you think of someone…

The Lovebird Kitchen: Vegan Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free Apple Crisp!
My wife and I have decided to make a YouTube channel to try and inspire people to get healthy. After many failed attempts on our own, we’ve finally found success over the last 8 or 9 months. Through a combination of paleo, gluten-free, and dairy-free diets, together we’ve lost over 150 lbs!
We uploaded our first recipe video yesterday: Vegan, Diary-Free, Gluten-Free Apple Crisp!

The Lovebird Kitchen: How My Wife and I Lost 150 lbs in 10 Months
The Lovebird Kitchen: How My Wife and I Lost 150 lbs in 10 Months
Our overall health is impacted by our intellectual, physical, emotional, and spiritual wellness. Around 10 months ago, my physical health was at an all time low. My wife and I were both bordering on diabetic and were in dire need of a lifestyle change.
After my mother in law had weight-loss success after seeing a holistic doctor, my wife decided to make an appointment with him and see how things…

80 Pounds and Doctor Checkup My amazing wife! I am so proud of her. She is an inspiration to so many of our friends and family (myself included of course).
Hope in the Midst of Tragedy
Hope in the Midst of Tragedy
My nephew lost both of his parents a little over two months ago. My sister, brother-in-law, and cousin all passed away in a car accident on the night of June 4th-morning of Jun 5th (June 5th being my 8th anniversary with my wife).
My wife and I were on vacation with our daughter (three and a half years old). We woke up on June 5th (several days into our vacation), excited to continue traveling…

Compulsion or Else
Suppose that one day all people agree upon some set of objective morals. Imagine that the world is split up into two states: Compulsion and Else.
The state of Compulsion dictates that all residents of Compulsion must obey state laws reinforcing the objective morals. As soon as a resident disobeys a law, they are either executed or excommunicated.
Else refers to all non-residents of the state of…

The State of Individuals
The State of Individuals
What is the state? When we say that the state takes our taxes with force, what exactly is it that is doing the taking (and exerting the force)?
Let’s say I refuse to pay taxes. At some point, some officer of the state will come to take me away and lock me up in a cage somewhere. Some other officer who works at the prison will watch over me. Some other officer will look over him, and someone over…

My Inspiring Wife: 8 Weeks and Counting
My beautiful, amazing wife started a blog not too long ago. I’m extremely proud of her and what she does for my daughter and me. She supports me in all I do, and I can’t believe I haven’t shared her blog until now. For those individuals battling weight loss or any other fitness/wellness war, please take a look here (you’ll be inspired): https.me/p9rA7k-A

good v. Good (People != Depraved)
good v. Good (People != Depraved)
I believe that people are good by nature. I believe that a person can live a good, charitable life regardless of creed (or lack thereof). I also believe that there is Good. That is, I believe that there is a source of peoples’ goodness. I believe the goodness of people is but an inkling of Good. I believe that it shows irreverence to be aware of this Good and fail to recognize its reflection in…

Let me offend/scare you until you agree with me (let’s save the world)
Stop it. Shut up. Slow down. Think for just a moment before you share that ridiculous meme. Why are you so inclined to click that button? By all means, post what you will. Don’t listen to me. Don’t even read this. Do what you will (you will, anyways – which is the point). “Share this if you love Jesus”, “Share if you support Donald Trump”, “Share if you don’t care if this offends people [insert…

OTG, SHTF, EDC, and My Love/Hate Relationship with Acronyms
OTG: Off The Grid SHTF: Sh*t Hit The Fan EDC: Every Day Carry. While researching survival topics online, I’ve frequently come across those acronyms. I have a love/hate relationship with acronyms. I appreciate their brevity. They are concise and potent. I’m typically attracted to efficiency. However, I strongly prefer that people write out the full term at least once before using the acronym. Most…

Liberty and Death: Individual > People > Constitution > Government
Those “>” up there in the title, those are greater-than symbols. It is not a reflection of what is, but a reflection of how I view things. You might view things differently. I like that. I hope that you like that, too. One of my closest friends has – in some ways – some ways of viewing things which are opposed to mine. We, like many people, share visions of some end, but our means tend to be…

Liberty and Justice for Each
Liberty and Justice for Each
There once was a man who lived in the woods at the base of a beautiful mountain. Older than age, with a penchant for rage, he was hated and feared by the townsmen. Always this way, the old man had not been. He was once well-respected and liked. Everything changed when, as drunk as the wind, the old man went and murdered his wife. He’d thought her a thief in the midst of the night, he stood up…

Silence & Simplicity
Silence and simplicity, to me, seem to be strongly correlated. If you were to draw a graph, x being silence and y being simplicity, I imagine you’d end up drawing a steady incline (think of a square with a straight line inside from the bottom left corner to the upper right corner). In other words, as simplicity increases, so does silence. I nearly also wrote “as silence increases, so does…

Impractically Practical
I’ve recently developed a strong interest in survivalism, primitivism, orienteering, rewilding, and all other buzzwords connected to the “natural” or “wild” state of humans. I’ve been scouring through YouTube videos of world champion knife throwers, makers of primitive weapons, and other promoters of primitive skills and knowledge. For the past couple of months, I’ve been eating (to the credit of…

Teaching to Learn
I am fortunate to now be in a position where I teach for a living. From my point of view, I get to learn for a living. I get to learn more intimately what I’ve already begun to learn. I get to learn how other people learn. I get to relearn what I’ve forgotten. I get to learn what I thought I already learned, but apparently did not. I get to learn how I teach, and how I might improve my teaching…
