042. The Art of Mourning
042. The Art of Mourning
“Joy comes in the morning…” And while I understand what David was after here, I truly think it can be applied in another and more poignant way: there is always joy in the mourning. It is in our mourning that we feel Jesus close to us in as many ways possible this side of heaven; caring and understanding embraces, tears of empathy, memories shared of Gods creation and their effect on us. The pain…

042. The Art of the Mission
I just saw something on Instagram stories that made me think quite a bit: “eternity with Jesus is my final goal, but while I wait…there’s beautiful work to be done here.” Man, I couldn’t agree more, but I think the biggest issue right now is the dispute within God’s kingdom of what that work truly is. I find myself arguing with many a Christian lately that the work to be done is advocating for…

041. The Art of a Lost Year
I’ve quite literally sat down to write about this last year probably as many days as we were closed (over 400, for the record). And for as much as I’ve tried to pen my thoughts, I don’t think I had finished enough of the experience to really know how I felt about it all. I’m sure someday I will catalog exactly what this all felt like and the stories and hard times that we all had in the last…

039. The Art of Burning the Ships
Another week down, another week towards a reopening, a rebirth, a renaissance… the fork in the road before us is a similar one that is in front of our entire industry: will we go back to “normal” or will we create the world we’ve only dreamed of. True inclusion. Honesty in the art; not for the money. True celebration of the art… The choice is up to us to enact these goals top-to-bottom. Will we…

038. The Art of Creating the New Normal
It would seem that from my last post, my most difficult assignment is coming to a close only to be bringing with it another tough assignment: promoting a deviation from returning to normal. Now, let me explain: it’s not that I want us to be a shut-in society for the rest of our days or to build a culture of hermits that all keep to themselves in their own houses forever…but, we…

037. The Art of Responsibility
I was recently hit with a pretty heavy assignment at work; one that I don’t take lightly. Actually, everyone I work with was hit with a heavy assignment now that I think about it. Many of my colleagues have gotten furloughed due to the coronavirus outbreak. And there are about a billion things I could say regarding the virus and the responses, but that’s not what woke me up at 3…

035. The Art of the Holidays
035. The Art of the Holidays
There’s been much on my mind as of late as we’ve approached the holiday season. I’ve been wary of the stigma that losing those close to you has around this time of year. Everyone wondering (not the least of which yourself) if you’re going to be “ok” during the traditional “family” time that is Christmas. Should I end up being incredibly sad? Experience my losses all over again…and again? Should…

030. The Art of Fatherhood
030. The Art of Fatherhood
I think it’s an opportune time to recap some of what I’ve learned about fatherhood in my short 6 years as one. In order to do that appropriately, I’ll have to circle back to the first dad I ever met: my own. If you’re just catching up, I lost my dad on my birthday in 2017, and while I had a good, solid 33 years with him I feel like it was too soon and I had more to learn from this man that had a…

030. The Art of Tech #6 – Flash Commuter v1 eBike, 1 Year Later
It has been nearly a year since I first strapped my helmet on, put on gloves, and set out on my first bike commute from home to work. Since then (according to the Strava app), I have traveled 1,456 miles on my 7.9 to 8 mile-each-direction ride to and from work almostevery day with small month or so break around the holidays for weather-related reasons. I have modified certain aspects of tracking…

026. Art of Living Like a Song
I find that the older I get, the more trouble I have. It’s an interesting conundrum, to be sure; having knowledge of where you’re failing and what you’re aiming at. I could’ve only hoped in my youth that I would’ve had this expectant nature of knowing what it is that I am aiming at, but nonetheless I find myself both satisfied and dissatisfied with my performance under these pretenses.
There’s…

027. The Art in a Year
Today’s going to be rough.
I’ve known that for about a month or so; or rather my body and soul have. The way my internal emotional well-being has been lately has proven that at least subconsciously I knew this day was coming, even if I was ignoring the calendar.
The biggest issue I have is that the day means more than what it began to mean last year. Primarily, it’s my birthday today. Now, I’ve…

026. The Art of Seven Seconds
July, a better part of a decade ago: I woke up in my condo to head to Huntington Beach to setup for a wedding. My good friends and I, all being in production-related jobs, were meeting at a city-owned property that overlooks a large, open field about a mile or so from the coastline waiting for a truck to show up (as we often had). We didn’t have much work to do, but our desire to be all the more…

026. The Art of Tech #5 – Flash Commuter v1 eBike
My journey into the foray of bike commuting was (as most things in my life are) driven by a fascination in a particular technology. I had been reading article after article about different emergent transportation options and how they’ve affected the metropolis’ in which they exist. One piece in particular was highlighting the trouble that shareable, rented e-scooters are littering the sidewalks,…

024. The Art of the Gifts
When I was a child, my mom used to always say that she thought I had the gift of discernment; that I unequivocally knew right and wrong in almost every situation (not that I always chose correctly, mind you) and could detect the right and/or wrong within people almost immediately. I never paid much mind to it and as I grew up and gained more knowledge of the world and the people in it, I began…

025. The Art of Tech #4 – Bragi Dash Review #3
It’s now been 2 years and 4 months since I received my set of Bragi The Dash from a Kickstater campaign in 2014. I use them almost daily for anything from conference calls to just tuning out the world, hearing the hiss of the high-precision amplifiers in my ears and not the noise of my office/house/world. I’ve used them for conference calls, plane flights, phone calls, podcast listening (which…
