So, conspiracy theories. Do you enjoy them? If you do, you’re probably the happiest you’ve ever been. I’ve been thinking about the mechanics and mindset of how conspiracy theories work. My conclusion is that conspiracy theorists can often create a world that is much worse than the one they actually live in. This […]
Living in fear.
There are plenty of Very Bad Things that can cause folks to live in fear. At the Easter season, it seems right to deal decisively with fears and embrace the cross.
Jehovah-Jireh: A study on hope, revisited.
We could all use some hope. Because many of us are scared. Jehovah-Jireh is Hebrew, and is translated “The Lord Will Provide.” Of course He will; but why do we so often behave like He won’t?
Cruising through chaos, revisited.
Some time back I developed a workshop/course called Cruising Through Chaos. My intent was to equip folks with the proper emotional, mental, and spiritual tools to not only survive the chaos we find ourselves in, but to even thrive in the midst of it.
Self-care and other wimpy activities.
There’s part of me that tends to think of self-care as the activity of a wimp. That’s not true, of course.
The typical mandate for me, as a believer, has been in the acrostic J.O.Y. – Jesus, others, you. To me, it’s a noble thing to spend myself in the service of others. The betterment of mankind, if you will.
Self-care comes in third place in that schema. I’m wondering if that’s actually the most helpful methodology, or even scriptural.

I thought with the advent of COVID-19, we could unite against a common foe. No one has been untouched by this blight. My bad. “United” is not a term I’d come close to using. What a shame. It didn’t have to be this way.
Survival of the fittest.
Survival of the fittest. Boy, am I gonna annoy some folks with this one. I don’t intend for You Can Have Hope to be anything but encouraging, and on the surface this one won’t be. But I have lots on my mind, and there is a silver lining in what I’m about to share. Survival […]
The vaccine won’t work. This will.
Stick a fork in me. I’m done with this COVID junk. I have to do something for me and for y’all, even if it’s an unlikely remedy. I don’t think it is.
How to live in fear.
Some people live in fear. That fear is dependent on the circumstances they perceive themselves to be in, and the worst fear for many is the fear of dying. It doesn’t have to be that way.
I have COVID.
I have COVID -19. Isn’t that something. What was in the abstract is now an up-close and personal experience. There is some kind of irony at work here. I wrote a course, COVID Crusher, some weeks ago. It was to encourage folks who are feeling the emotional and mental strain of COVID. Obviously, it isn’t […]
