I’m head-to-head this week against a friend of mine, Larry. I really like Larry… we could be great friends, and in fact I think we’re well on our way. I asked him if he wanted to get a team in the league, and he said yes. We haven’t been buddies all that [...]

That Socrates was one smart Greek

As Socrates said, “The unexamined life is not worth living.” While I won’t claim to deify him, I do think he’s right.
David cried to God in Psalm 139, “Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me [...]

I will begin this post by saying, in advance, everything is OK. No problems. I’m fine, Robyn’s fine, little dude is fine.
At this point in the pregnancy (24 weeks out of 40), she should be feeling the baby moving all the time. Certainly if an hour or two passes without movement it is not a [...]

Before marriage, one of the most important conversations Robyn and I ever had was the divorce discussion. You know, “Worst case scenario… let’s say that we’re miserable, we don’t get along, we’re having no fun, life is awful, and we basically hate each other. We have no kids, no real commitments. Even if it’s 10 [...]

At childbirth class last Wednesday, I watched a videotaped birth for the first time. Crazy. It’s amazing that a little person fits through there… Somehow, just seeing a birth for the first time makes me more comfortable with the whole process.

“We had three murders last night. We had a total of six rapes last night. We had the day before, I think, there were three or four murders. There were half-a-dozen rapes that night. We had one suicide last night. We had one military policeman shot.”
