With so many people in the United States and the world struggling right now with unemployment and health issues, I spent some time wavering as to whether or not I should even write this post. Is it insensitive to talk about blessings when so many people are hurting? The truth is that I don’t know […]

A couple months ago my wife and I decided to cut cable for a second time. I will freely admit that it’s my fault that I kept coming back to it. My wife and the kids watch Amazon Prime, Netflix, and all sorts of other apps on our television. I’m not sure they would notice […]

I have a theory that I am going to test out tomorrow. I am going to try it, and this post will be here, once and for all, holding me accountable. I am going to do something I haven’t done in far too long. This may sound dumb, but I am going to listen to […]

Teachers know the feeling. It’s Sunday night. You want to be lazy and watch football (okay, that’s MY feeling anyway). You don’t want to go back to school the next day. It’s not that you dislike your job or dislike kids; you just want to make the weekend last just a little bit longer. You […]

First of all, I want to start before I get into writing by saying the phrase “The New Normal” needs to be banned from our vocabulary. I don’t think anything we are experiencing as a society thanks to this coronavirus outbreak is going to be normal. Could we experience recession or depression? Sure. Will we […]

In the garage today I found a ticket stub to an old sporting event. It’s amazing how you can get so many incredible gems out of just one little piece of paper. The details are fading fast, which is why I couldn’t help but write about it. If I don’t do it now, I’m not […]

When I started my New Year’s Resolutions on January 1, I tried to pick out things that were achievable but not way too easy. I spent the entire month of January basically focused on doing those six things. My wife and I even began a group for encouraging others to work on their goals together. […]

In Phoenix, beautiful days are more common than ugly ones. In the fall, winter, and spring you can play all day most of the time. The temperatures are moderate and you probably won’t get rained on. The summertime is a different animal, but even then people usually find a way to get outside in the […]
