Here's the thing... I received a notification on the Twitter the other day letting my know that my pastor (who can be found here and here, because apparently having two blogs is the cool thing to do... btw, I had two blogs last year... not saying I've started a trend or anything...) had tagged me … Continue reading When You Get Tagged By Your Pastor…

Question of the Week #53
How do you react when people sing "Happy Birthday" to you in a restaurant? Well... This is appropriate. My birthday is eight days away. I know a lot of people get embarrassed when someone sings to them in a restaurant. But I'm not one to embarrass easily. I mean, I'm the guy who usually embarrasses … Continue reading Question of the Week #53
5 Ways to Spend Your Leap Day
In a few days, we'll experience February 29 for the first time since 2012. How do you mark a day that comes along only once every four years? I think there are several ways that one could celebrate a Leap Day. Remember that movie with Amy Adams where she travels to Ireland to propose to … Continue reading 5 Ways to Spend Your Leap Day
Muse
"You can't break up with me! You're my muse!" Brad shouted in the middle of the coffee shop, very nearly making a scene. "First of all, lower your voice," Ginny said, trying to save herself from a little embarrassment. "Secondly, I'm your 'muse?' You haven't written anything substantial in almost a year. And it's been … Continue reading Muse
Introduction
Kids, if you don't watch Arrow or The Flash, this blog post may not make a lot of sense to you. I need to use those TV shows to illustrate my main point here. So if you are among those who just aren't that into super hero shows, you are under no obligation to press … Continue reading Introduction
There’s No Reason

Do you ever have a bad day when there's just no logical reason for it to be bad? That's the kind of … Continue reading There’s No Reason
The Single Guy vs. The Ninja Turtle
The following tale is based on actual events which occurred several years ago... Over the last few days, I've posted some fairly serious content here. While it's not necessarily out of character for me to post something that's of a serious nature, it is a bit odd that I've done it for several consecutive days. … Continue reading The Single Guy vs. The Ninja Turtle
Eating Disorder
Working in the counseling profession, I get bombarded with emails from the corporate office letting me know whenever there's a special focus on some aspect of mental health for a day or a week. To be honest, I don't always pay attention when these emails hit my inbox. Mostly, I just get annoyed when I … Continue reading Eating Disorder
Powerful Testimony
Everyone has a story to tell. I'll admit, I'm not always a fan of people in general, but I love that we all have a story. That's become a big focus for us at Northstar Church in 2016. As we study the book of Acts as a church, we are able to see how the … Continue reading Powerful Testimony
Question of the Week #52
For what in your life do you feel most grateful? I'm actually grateful for a lot of things that I, for the most part, take for granted. I mean, I have a job, a place to live, and an incredible network of friends that I know can be depended on whenever they're called upon. Oh, … Continue reading Question of the Week #52
