If you're wondering, the girls used on the book cover were "free" models, but they're also the most expensive thing in my life. … [Read more...]
Nice-oholic Pt 11: Dealing with Shame
One of the greatest struggles for nice-oholics (and others) is dealing with shame. Like all of our emotions, shame is a gift from God (there’s a fun thought). In its proper form, shame is meant to be a threat of repercussion to keep us from doing really dumb things. It’s like the threat of being … [Read more...]
Nice-oholic Pt 3: 3 Types of Nice
This past weekend I experienced three different types of nice. The one made me feel great, one fine, and the other left me a little sad. How can nice leave someone feeling sad?

Life is Meaningless & Precious
My grandpa was the kind of alcoholic who would never drink and drive – he had morals. Instead, he made one of his three sons be his chauffeur, which included them waiting for hours outside the bar while he drank – they were very selective morals. He had my dad driving him to the bar when he was … [Read more...]
There Should Be Worse Anxiety Problems in the World (Pt 2)
Whatever happened to worry? I’m not sure the last time I heard someone say they were worried because it’s always “anxious” now. It’s like anxiety is more important: “I’m not worried; I’m anxious. It’s much worse.” If that’s the case, then we as a society are intensifying our issues to be bigger … [Read more...]
