Mistakes and Misspellings = Authenticity
I was recently listening to a presentation. It had to do with marketing and grammar of all things, but what they were saying is that mistakes and misspellings demonstrates authenticity. It’s almost as if the PR companies come across as too polished that they don’t necessarily come across as real.…

If I Had to Eat the Same Meal Everyday for a Year
….I would have chicken, broccoli, and lentils. I wanted to put sushi for every meal, but I think I would die. I could possibly live on rice and eggs. This was an interesting idea to me. I don’t even know if I eat the same meal two times in a…

Values Free
What does that mean to you? I use it in class when we are talking about each other and our families. It’s much easier to talk about ourselves when we do so from a values free perspective – talking about ourselves without attributing a good or bad value – especially…

What More Will Do
This is not a new or novel thought, but I heard it said this way this weekend and really connected with it. More will only exaggerate what is already there. That’s what more will do. Some think that if they just have more money, that they will be more happy. In that…

Neos and Kainos
I was listening to a talk yesterday. He was talking about the word “new.” There are 2 words for the word “new” in the NT. I’m not a Greek scholar, but I love the difference. Neos has to do with things that are so new that they have never been.…

Your Rhythm
I was thinking through the rhythms that I put my body and my mind in. My rhythms hopefully allows me to have the maximum output. As I thought about it though, there are some natural ones that I hardly ever skip. – Eat 3-4 meals a day; brush and floss…

Wounded Yielding
This was a late night thought for me. I was thinking about some of my friends that have been and still carry around deep wounds. Don’t get me wrong – we all carry wounds. Some more than others. But the ones with deep wounds – those were the friends that…

The Bathroom Self Portrait
You’ve seen it before. People posing in front of a mirror for their profile pic. The lettering might be backwards on their shirt. They always – always have some funny look on their face. Without fail, it’s some crazy look that they’re making. Most of the time it’s like they’re…

Playing Tricks on Yourself
Did you know that you were good at that? So good at it even that some of you don’t even know it. Some of you have such a strong bias about the way that you think about something that you are blinded by any information or data that proves otherwise.…

People Are Not Rational
Does that make sense? No, it doesn’t make sense, and it doesn’t have to. People are not rational. I don’t care how much schooling one has, they’ll still do dumb, irrational things. Why? Because people aren’t rational. For years, you’re trained to think logically, correctly, and dare I say, rationally.…
