Trying to figure things out in the second half
This Sunday, for Lutherans and Catholics and a few other denominations, was Christ the King Sunday. It was instituted by one of the Popes in the 1920’s to recognize the sovereignty of Christ on Earth and in Heaven. One of my favorite hymns is a common choice for Christ the King Sunday, Crown Him with …
That seems like a good “clickbait” blog post title! And, in proper internet style, I won’t reveal my “jaw-dropping discovery” until the end of the article! (Spoiler alert: you might think it’s lame…) I joined a gym in October 2017. That was a full 10 months ago from today, August 4, 2018. My attendance was …
I’ve been a terrible money manager over the years, but it never occurred to me to consider that I might be a compulsive spender until recently. I found a really cool podcast called “I Can’t Stop Spending! A Podcast about Recovery from Compulsive Spending, Shopping, and Debting” by Susan B. So far, I’ve listened to …

Two eggs, fried in olive oil, served with a generous sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese. That was my dinner last night. My family was scattered to the four winds, so I was eating alone. I could have eaten a Snickers bar, a justifiable meal replacement option I discussed at length in this post, My Snickers …
I used to cook meals at home. I even did the thing where you plan your menus for the week and make your grocery list based on your menu plan. During the week I’d look at my menu options posted on the refrigerator door and proceed accordingly. I was very good about incorporating “planned overs” …
It’s ridiculous really, how much time I spend thinking about sleeping as opposed to actually sleeping. I like to imagine how different my life would be if I could somehow, magically, become a morning person. But, in order to do that, one would have to have gotten a solid rest the night before… What, exactly, …
