  • Family Identity

    My wife has half siblings – a brother and twin sisters.  We haven’t spent much time with them.  They came to our wedding, and Candice’s wedding.  We went to their mom’s wedding, and have hung out with them a few times beyond that.  Haven’t hung out with them more than…

  • An Identity Mixture

    I went to a show last night at the House of Blues.  I saw the Reverand Horton Heat play.  You can google him or check him out on wikipedia.  It was one of the most interesting shows that I’ve ever seen.  I went with a friedn of mine who has…

  • Fantasy Football Identity

    I’m not sure what I really want to say about this, but when you ask someone how they are doing and they answer you with their standing in their fantasy football league – there’s definitely an identity that is playing itself out in it all. I think that it’s perfectly…

  • Quitting an Identity

    You can’t just quit an identity – especially one that you’ve spent years and years developing.  When you spend so much time doing something, developing a skill, learning a craft – creating and sculpting an identity – you become that person.  You take on that identity.  You can’t just quit. …

  • Without My Fans There is No Me

    This is what I heard a celebrity say on the radio this morning.  In one sense, they recognize that they could not be in the situation that they are in if there were no fans.  I think that is just the life of anyone with celebrity (check this previous post…

  • Mixed Identity

    This morning – I was fascinated by the most interesting thing.  I typically pick up coffee at Starbucks on Sunday morning – it’s part of my pre-game ritual to prepare to lead worship.  I recognized a few people in the shop, and saw one of the baristas – that’s normally…

  • No Difference

    Everyone is in identity formation.  We are all in a different stage of identity development.  Some of us are just starting to figure out who we are.  Others of us have achieved an identity status that is fully formed and developed. Identity formation is the balance of exploring possible identities…

  • 2 Word Mission Statements

    I like missions statements that are easy to remember.  I’m not sure if you have a personal mission statement.  It’s great if you have one.  It doesn’t even have to be a 2 word one – as long as you have one.  I like the 2 word mission statement because…

  • Chula Vista Park View Little League

    I love how a big town like San Diego can still have that small town feel – well, at least San Diego is trying to keep that small town feel going.  The latest thing that has brought this town together is the recent win of a little league team from…

  • Strategy

    There are many things that I am strategic about.  There are a few things that I’ve been reading about being strategic about – having a coping strategy; having an identity strategy.  It is a proactive pursuit of everyday normal things.  Those are the 2 that pop into my head, but…

  • Cromartie Tweet

    The Cromartie tweet is news. It’s awesome. One tweet that was meant to be funny – has become a news piece flashing across the screen on espn and the morning news. It won’t be the last time someone will “read” into something. It happens – even with the best intentions,…

  • Give them a voice

    My wife was watching Into the Wild tonight – the Sean Penn version of the story of Christopher McCandless. It was great watching it again.  The first time I watched it, I just watched the movie to get the story.  Typically, the second time I watch a movie, I process…
