I had a post written about the origins and purpose of evil, but my thoughts on it are really incomplete at this point to the degree of irresponsibility, so instead I’ll just talk about my fatness again.
Today starts day five of no Dr. Pepper. Monday (day 2) was actually pretty easy, though I did treat myself to a Red Bull in prep for my Philosophy [...]

Sunday was the first day of the transformation I am in the process of going through. My first goal is to completely kill Dr. Pepper from my life.
So far… so good.
My morning Dr. Pepper was replaced with CranRaspberry Juice, which is by far my favorite juice morning or otherwise. In fact, when i was younger i used to dip my popcorn in it from [...]

Recently I read through Charles Bello’s Prayer as a Place. One of the side-concepts that the book stresses is the idea that we do not need to add religious activity to our life, we simply need to create space to spend time with the source of our life – God.

There is a whole slew of peeps that have read and are tryiing to implement Getting Things Done concepts into their lives… You may or may not be one of them, but I’ve started finding ways to slowly build up  to a productive, efficient GTD work flow in my personal life.
