Peaks and valleys are great because of the clarity they bring. With clear vision we can better see the things that truly matter. But here’s the thing. The majority of our lives are not lived in peaks or valleys. No, the majority of our lives are lived in the middle of the peaks and valleys. We call these places “average” or “normal.” Now it’s time to appreciate the average. Read More…

How many bar fights do you think have started because two people were wearing different colour jerseys? The sad thing is, if those same two people were to sit down and talk they would probably discover they have a lot more in common than naught. Such as a common love for whatever sport they’re wearing for one thing, regardless of who they root for. Read More…

If you’re a long time listener to this podcast then you’ll most likely remember that I grew up with two brothers. My step-brother was one year ahead of me and my real brother was two years ahead of me. While I was not at all considered cool or popular, my step-brother was. He was smart, charming, athletic, outgoing, and good looking. He was one of the most popular kids in the whole school, let alone his class.
There were a lot of times that I wished I was as popular as he was, but it just wasn’t in the cards for me. As we got older I got used to it. But still there were times when I couldn’t help but be jealous. Read More…

309- Little White Lie

Lying is a form of self preservation. From a young age we’re told that it’s wrong to lie. Our parents told us such and our teachers did likewise. But that didn’t stop us from testing the boundaries at some point in our childhood, either out of fear of punishment or possibly out of curiosity to see if we can get away with it. Perhaps we did something wrong like set toilet paper on fire and refused to admit guilt when confronted. Or, perhaps we wolfed down a cupcake super fast and then told our teacher we hadn’t received our treat yet. Either way, we knew it was wrong but we did it anyway. Read More…

My 12 year old daughter thinks she needs a cell phone. Her mom and I disagree. Several of her friends have one and she swears she is the only person at her school that does not have one. Still, her mom and I won’t budge.
Well it turns out she doesn’t actually want a phone. What she really wants is the appearance of a phone.
We found this out recently when my iPhone 4s stopped making and receiving calls. After several calls to customer service and several short periods where it would receive calls, we decided it was time to give it up and get a new phone. Since the phone still worked fine outside of actually functioning as a phone, it still had some usefulness. As soon as my daughter found out I was getting a new phone, she started begging me for my old one. Read More…
