  • Diva Pastor

    Diva Pastor

    I had a conversation with my friend about some of the people that he’s been hanging out it. I had to write about it. The title fits the conversation that we had. I don’t know what you think of when you think of a “diva” or a “pastor,” but this…

  • My Mind is Full

    My Mind is Full

    I went to TEDxSanDiego today.  It’s the third one that they’ve had, and I have been blessed to be at all of them.  It was a great time hearing so many wonderful speakers.  It was great to meet amazing people, and hear about their failures. My mind is full.  We…

  • The Words of Emotions

    The Words of Emotions

    So there are some emotions that sit in the area of the brain where there is no language or words processed – just the emotions. Have you ever felt something and then in talking to someone or in someone explaining their feelings – you connected with it in a way…

  • If You Really Love Your Fans

    If You Really Love Your Fans

    …………..give them their money back.

  • The Internet Talk is the new Sex Talk

    The Internet Talk is the new Sex Talk

    I heard this line on a Podcast.  I believe Jeff Jarvis said it on TWIG. Don’t get me wrong.  I’m not saying that the Sex Talk is not important.  It is very important, and it is key that you have that conversation with your kids.  The idea though is that…

  • Honest and Spontaneous Expression

    Honest and Spontaneous Expression

    I’m really not super good at this. Are you? Do you have the ability to just express what it is you’re feeling right at that moment? I’m not that great at this. I need to learn it. I also need to learn to to express it in a way that…

  • The Death of the Craft

    The Death of the Craft

    This is not an original idea. This is just a post about my initial ideas about it. I didn’t even know what to call this post – but it has to do with the Death of the Craft. What I mean by that – is that there was a time…

  • The Story You Tell Yourself

    The Story You Tell Yourself

    The thing about the Story You Tell Yourself is that you don’t even know or are even aware of the fact that you’re telling the story to yourself. You can’t help yourself. You can’t stop yourself. You don’t even know that you’re telling yourself a story, but here’s the deal…

  • An Apology as Currency

    An Apology as Currency

      a·pol·o·gy/əˈpäləjē/ Noun: A regretful acknowledgment of an offense or failure: “my apologies for the delay”. A formal, public statement of regret, such as one issued by a newspaper, government, or other organization. Have you ever seen someone use an Apology as Currency?  Do you know what I’m talking about…

  • What Do You Look Like on Paper?

    What Do You Look Like on Paper?

    I was telling a friend a few days ago – that I don’t look good on paper.  Never mind the context – I was just interested in the fact that we work really hard to try and look good – in real life – but how hard do we work…

  • Spiritual Abuse

    Spiritual Abuse

    Living in Fear – that could be another title for this post. I first heard about Spiritual Abuse when I was in grad school.  One of my professors was doing some pretty good work on Spiritual Abuse. I heard a talk yesterday about growing up in an environment of fear…

  • Date a Few Ambitions

    Date a Few Ambitions

    I got this line from a Donald Miller post.  He gives this suggestion.  He says to “date around” – vocation-wise, passion-wise, experience-wise.  Actually, I would include dating around as that might help you figure out some ambitions. It’s about Dating Around Smartly – With Purpose.  Man, does that sound like…
