Ah, yes. Another Sunday skipping church. Funny how I still call it that. “Skipping”. Funny how I still feel bad when I do it. Church attendance is an interesting topic. If you don’t attend church, you are usually slammed with Hebrews 10:25. But of course, we know that church attendance is not synonymous with righteousness, […]

Nostalgia
Several weeks ago, I bought a Lego set. But it wasn’t just any Lego set: it was the best set you could have purchased in the mid-90s. And I bought it brand new. Mint. Sealed in box. I had been tracking it for a few months, waiting for a good deal, and the right deal […]
The Changing of the Garage
Just a few weeks ago, my second roommate moved out and for the first time in my life, I have a garage space! My car barely fits. It’d be hilarious if it didn’t also piss me off. But nothing can really be done about it. For not having to scrape the frost off my windshields […]
Life and Passing
Several weeks ago, I was driving to Dream Group when my mom called. I don’t like answering phone calls or texts when I’m driving, so I snuck a glance just long enough to see who was calling me, then let it go to voicemail. Mom never calls. She occasionally texts out of the blue, but […]
Not-So-Jogging
I have a short life-story I’ve been meaning to share. I’ve long had the suspicion it is relevant to many others. A year or two ago, I found myself in possession of a pair of trail running shoes, not because I had any intention of running on trails, but because they came from the same […]
Thoughts from Tree Line
About five years ago I hiked Mount Quandary for the first time. It was one of the worst hikes I’ve ever done. There was a lot going on in my life at the time, I really wasn’t prepared for the hike, and although I made it to the top with two friends, we were so […]
Green Elephant Dude
Several years ago, one of my friends returned from Thailand and brought me a keychain. I call this keychain “Green Elephant Dude”. Green Elephant Dude used to sit under one of my monitors at my last job. On especially crappy days, I’d look down and see the bright colors and patterns in the sunlight. I’d […]
Reflections from the Garage Floor
Like on most holidays, I spent today with my parents at their townhouse. It is usually a mix of talk, television, lunch, dinner, and dessert. And sometimes car work. Today, one of the goals was to check the A/C system on my dad’s old Subaru. After measuring A/C pressure using an A/C manifold gauge, the […]
Reflections on MeToo
In my mid-twenties, I briefly dated a girl I had become friends with. They were fun dates, but felt more like hang-outs with a good friend than anything that might actually lead to a relationship. This may be why the dating didn’t last long, but we were still good friends after. On our third or […]
Community
The past few years have been full of odd seasons. It all started with a mass exodus of friends from Colorado, coinciding with the disintegration of the young adult group at my old old church. This lead to a wandering in the desert, a desperation for community at my old church, and finally seemed to […]
