“I will have spent my life trying to understand the function of remembering, which is not the opposite of forgetting, but rather its lining. We do not remember; we rewrite memory much as history is rewritten. How can one remember thirst?”

A dog, for you.

No, I don’t know why she’s so long with such a tiny head.

A reblog to tag and elab because when I was looking at adopting her it was hard to find a picture of this mix to see what they look like grown up: 5yo Great Pyrenees and Australian Shepherd mix....

Did you know that you have the opportunity to follow a life that can’t be beaten? His Name is Jesus. Because He came to serve and give His everything, no one could take anything from Him. He had already overcome their greed.

You, as a husband and father, have the same opportunity to flow in the un...

Do you want to have a victorious, can-do attitude? An outlook that will keep you encouraged to follow your dreams and fulfill your creative goals?

Then, to borrow an ad slogan from Apple Computers, “Think different.” Replace negative thoughts (including spiritual doubts) with positive (faith-fille...

My essay “On Culture Shock” has been published in LOST Magazine, Issue 6.

“On Culture Shock” is an essay I wrote during my first week back home after a year spent in Madrid as an undergraduate student in 2006. The photos accompanying the essay were also taken by me.

LOST is a Shanghai-based, mult...

Rich men are banning abolitions, they’re banning Muslims, but oh no, this isn’t about big business using Christianity to fight to fight a financial war to keep the impoverished in the gutter.

According to Malcolm Gladwell it takes 10,000 hours to become one of the best in the world at what you do.

But what he doesn't really talk about that much is that the more crowded a field is, the bigger that number gets.

And those 10,000 hours can then easily turn into 15,000 or maybe even 20,000...

He finally wrote back.

“No need to explain. You don’t owe me any explanations. We were just having fun.”

Oh-god.

We weren’t.

I wasn’t!

I fucking love him! I love him!

What am I supposed to do?

Before you take a chance on Chanel’s Chance or seek Amazing Grace (the perfume), you might want to rethink your decision to spritz yourself or your clothes. That’s because most perfumes are made from toxic, synthetic ingredients that can destroy your health. While humans have worn natural essent...

Resilience is crucial. In this case, the resilience of a nation. I suppose it was very important for the Congress to lose this time. For they need to rethink, reimagine, and move beyond nepotism. Though the election results are disheartening for those of us who worry about enduring more of the st...

A study conducted by the law firm Fenwick & West LLP found that in 2018, women comprised more than one quarter of all general counsel at large public technology companies such as Apple and Intel in the Silicon Valley 150 (SV150), and in major companies in the Standard and Poor’s 100 (S&P...

Oh, John Wick…

I don’t think three movies in it’s much of a spoiler for me to say that his dog dies in the first one.  There’s a reason I have to talk about this.

My “insta-hate” gimmick for a movie is to kill a dog (see my much maligned Alita Battle Angel review that I still stand by today).

We just finished writing a piece that was right up our alley. VisitPhilly – the city’s tourism and travel promotion agency – asked us to write about Philadelphia as a Jewish food destination. That was enough to get Joyce to say, “We really should go and sample some of the sandwiches…” And we were...

So I have the privilege of hanging out with some pretty amazing folks on a fairly regular basis via Skype. There’s a few of us who having been doing it for nearly 10 years now, and it’s sort of like a virtual office of (mostly) illustrators. We talk off on on through the day about everything from...

Empty brown vastness faced the First where he stood. From overhead came the whooshing rumble of jet engines. A trio of needle shaped air cruisers hurtled past and made for the horizon. He had watched them travel out and return from his rooftop vantage point all day.

His top advisor stood to the ri...

This time of year is my busy season.  Being out of work hasn’t eased any of it, in fact, in a lot of ways it’s made it harder, busier.  Looking for work is a full time job, as they say.  Add in the work I do for SF Pride, and some freelance editing, not to mention my own writing and you get one b...

“Stories, we all have them. As humans, we’re all social creatures, no matter how much we don’t like to admit it. That’s why we sometimes act out, that’s why being rejected hurts us and why being lonely is depressing and frustrating. And stories, are the one thing that we all like. We all tell eac...

I dag damp Budbäraren ned i brevlådan. Under vinjetten ”Teologisk reflektion” har jag där med nedanstående artikel, som sätter ord på mycket av den mylla som den här bloggen en gång växte fram ur:

Lo peor de la guerra comercial entre los Estados unidos y China es, aparte de que como toda guerra comercial es mala para todos participen o no en ella, es el hecho de que nada en ella muestra el más mínimo atisbo de sentido común.

Your daughter sends you a WhatsApp message and it’s a series of emojis. You have no clue what it means and realize you can no longer communicate with the younger generation. What do you do?

You know if you admit to not understanding that you will be ridiculed forever and a day.
