Part 3 — What You’ve Already Lost A few weeks ago, I had a bit of an epiphany. I’d been posting on X for over a year. It was largely an experiment to see if I could stick with writing every day. I also hoped to rediscover my writing voice long lost to corporate speak. […]
‘This book is a modest attempt to aid God’s hungry children so to find Him. Nothing here is new except in the sense that it is a discovery which my own heart has made of spiritual realities most delightful and wonderful to me. Others before me have gone much farther into these holy mysteries than […]
Your mid 50s brings you firmly into a place of expected wisdom and experience. My oldest grandson scraped his knee when he fell off his bike this morning. His mom cleaned it and put a Band-Aid on it. He told her she doesn’t know how to put a Band-Aid on because she’s not a grandma. […]
We’re so uniquely pressured to have impact outside of our immediate surroundings. It wasn’t too terribly long ago that people never ventured outside of their village in their whole entire life.

Last week I launched a series on YouTube called “Wisdom from the Wellhouse,” so named because I mostly office from a 10×10 wellhouse shed. These videos are short, quick takes. The idea is to just get started on YouTube. For many years, video has been my nemesis. I’ve shied away from it for a long […]
This is a new effort to capture some of my daily raw thoughts. It’s a callback to the old-school blog approach. Back in the day, web logs were a way for developers to capture changes to their projects over time. They were a series of quick notes in reverse chronological order. This made it easy […]
Part 2 — The Machine The algorithms aren’t trying to inform you. They’re not even trying to entertain you. They’re trying to activate you. That difference is why you can spend two hours on your phone and come away feeling like you should have accomplished something when you accomplished nothing. In Part 1, I told […]
Part 1 — The Problem When I was a kid, I spent most of my time in the library. It was not uncommon for me to leave with books stacked so high that I could only use my chin and the length of my arms to carry them out. Why no one ever got me […]
