The Forgotten Man
I survived public school. For a long time I’ve wanted a t-shirt with that message printed on the front. The back would read: I’m ok… but just barely. I’m part-joking, part-serious because while it’s kind of humorous after the fact, it was a challenging experience to live through. My parents raised me in a Christian home with conservative values and politics. It doesn’t take a rocket-scientist to recognize my dilemma. Let’s just say my upbringing didn’t jive with the messages taught to me in the classroom. If, by chance, you can’t relate to my experience, it’s very likely you’re left-leaning… Continue reading

This is Just the Beginning
The year was 1995. The school year: 7th grade. Allow me to tell you about one of my favorite childhood memories that happened one night during Summer break: the first time I spent the night at Scott’s house. What was so memorable about that?

If I had to guess why this memory has stuck with me, it is because it solidified the start of our friendship. We became friends like most young kids do … we happened… Continue reading

Uncomfortable Question: Do members of Christian churches have responsibilities? Follow-up to the Previously Asked Uncomfortable Question: If they do, and if you are a member of a Christian church, are you performing your responsibilities? Anyone squirming in their seats out there? I’ll admit, there was a time when these questions would… Continue reading

A Blog? RUSerious?
Haven’t you found the first swim each summer a little strange? My childhood sport was swimming, and I would often swim all year-round. As a grownup, however, I’ve found that I will go long stretches without being in a pool. Each Summer I sense the strangeness and the familiarity of jumping into the water. These days I make more of a let’s cannonball in type of entrance because “I haven’t got time for anything else” (Han Solo, Ep. V). This brings me to why I find myself sitting and writing this. For some time, I’ve been toying with the idea of restarting… Continue reading
