Greetings! Welcome to my insurrection by challenging the way we think and look at the struggles within the human condition.

As you read these blogs, I challenge you to open your mind and re-evaluate your values in order to strengthen and reinforce where you stand in your life. You don’t have to agree with me, but that is good! Answers can be found in open dialog, just like Socrates and his contemporaries. 

I hope you enjoy it! Please subscribe (it is absolutely free) so you can stay up to date with my latest thoughts! You can also email me if there are any topics you want me to write about. I am always happy to hear your ideas!

  Fishing Nets Tossed in the SandDecember 10, 2025
  Most people have heard the story of how Jesus called his disciples to follow after him. He did not go out and pick a group of religious leaders to take around and teach the people, nor did he pick a bunch of religious zealots to help him carry his message of freedom from the chainsContinue reading “Fishing Nets Tossed in the Sand”

  Unimaginable FaithOctober 8, 2025
  I am always shocked and amazed when people tell me that they believe there is nothing after life. Once we die, there is nothing, and it is all over. If this is the case, what is the point of living? Why do you get up and go to work everyday? To think there is nothingContinue reading “Unimaginable Faith”

  Days Gone DownOctober 6, 2025
  How many times have you wished to go back and change the things you did in the past? If only you had turned left instead of right… Unfortunately, the reality is that the past is gone, and we can only move forward. We can reflect and learn from our past, but we must press forward.Continue reading “Days Gone Down”

  The World Will Stand Against YouSeptember 10, 2025
  We are seeing a rapid decay in the world as it turns from what is good and righteous to hatred that is trying to be sold as “love” and “acceptance”. Those who challenge this are branded, banished, even killed. Jesus spoke these words which are still true: “Then they will deliver you up to tribulationContinue reading “The World Will Stand Against You”

  Can It Ever Change?August 13, 2025
  “That’s just the way it is. Some things will never change.” One of my favorite albums from the 80s is Bruce Hornsby, The Way It Is. I used to listen to this entire album over and over, and to this day, I know the lyrics to every song. The album captured a feeling of middle-classContinue reading “Can It Ever Change?”

  Power in FreedomJune 12, 2025
  To most people, the idea of power is equivalent to control. Power becomes synonymous with “power over” something. It could be a person, a group of people, an object, a behavior, or an idea. Do not confuse power as control. True power comes from letting our souls free from forces that exert control over us.Continue reading “Power in Freedom”

  Not a Typical WarJune 9, 2025
  Like it or not, we are in a war. People continue to say that another Civil War is coming due to the divide that continues to grow in this country. I totally disagree with that statement. The war has already begun, but it does not look like what people think. This country and this worldContinue reading “Not a Typical War”

  Bravely Into the UnknownMay 5, 2025
  What is it about the unknown that fascinates us? Why can’t we be content and just let the unknown be what it is? Humans have a drive to want to know more than what is placed before them. We are like the little kids who constantly ask their parents, “why?” It is that moment asContinue reading “Bravely Into the Unknown”

  Back to the Howling Dog Out in the Woods…April 11, 2025
  They say with age comes wisdom. While I believe this to be true, I feel more than wisdom is gained with age. We gain perspective. When we are young, we are adventurous to the point of wrecklessness. There is a sense of invulernabity that people approach life early on. We strive for the exceptional life,Continue reading “Back to the Howling Dog Out in the Woods…”
