Have you ever found yourself as an adult still craving approval like you did when you were a kid? Still hoping someone notices you and says something like, “Hey, you’re doing really good” or something like that? I didn’t realize until recent years just how much of my life was shaped by chasing that. I…

I spent most of my life searching for a spiritual path that I could feel and see the truth in. One that was me, not one I was told to believe or threatened with hell if I didn’t. One that I could feel the truth of with every fiber of my being. Christianity never did…

Yesterday we spent the entire day driving. Not just driving to get somewhere, but driving to look. Exploring areas in Rio Rancho and Bernalillo, thinking about where we might be moving to in the coming months. New roads, new neighborhoods, and new views. There’s something sorta weird about that kind of day. You’re not quite…

Is there ever such a thing as a “holy war”? Personally, I think not. Ever. Yet there seems to be a growing “chorus”, particularly among some Evangelicals,suggesting otherwise. There are even reports of military leaders framing the war with Iran in explicitly religious terms, as if it were somehow tied to bringing about the Parousia,…

My wife recently suggested the idea for this post. We were out driving, just exploring, no real destination, just letting the road take us where it would. At one point, we passed a turnoff and wondered where it led. She said, “Well, all roads lead somewhere.” It was a cool comment, and I liked it.…

I almost always click the “x” to hide them. Supposedly it helps tailor your feed. Maybe it does, maybe it doesn’t. Either…

The body remembers things even when the mind forgets. Every trauma specialist knows this. I think addiction specialists know it too, because trauma and addiction go hand in hand. I’ve never met an addict who didn’t carry some form of trauma, and addiction itself becomes its own kind of trauma. But here’s a cool story that…

There is a quote attributed to Abraham Lincoln that says, “I care not for a man’s religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it.” I’ve always loved that quote because it reveals something simple but profound… if what we believe doesn’t make us kinder, then what good is it? To me, it…

What could possibly happen on a walk? More than I could have ever imagined before. That’s for sure. I’ve increased the time and length of my daily walks and just being outdoors more in general. It’s easier this time of year because Spring is finally starting to show itself here in Santa Fe, and the…

Every morning I have a cup of hot Earl Grey tea. Some people have to have their coffee, I have to have my tea. I feel completely “off” if I don’t have that cup of tea. It’s not just the warmth or the caffeine, though the caffeine is definitely a factor. It’s the time and…
