I made an NFT for kicks a few months ago. (Just wanted to see how the process worked. Here it is: That’s right. I’m officially a crypto bro. Of course, right now crypto is tanked, and my ~$80 worth of Ethereum I bought has more than halved in value. Crypto is a weird one. NFTs, …
I have a disease. I swear it is an actual illness. When someone texts me a question, if I don’t respond in the first few hours, I’m never responding. I feel like the pressure builds. It’s been so long that it would be awkward to send them a text now, so I wait even longer, …
I think I’ve said this before, but I’ll say it again. Shakespeare made up the word “lonely”. Before, it was just, “lone”, which of course was derived from “alone”. In Shakespeare’s time there were no english dictionaries, at least not anything like the ones we have. Thesauruses were more common. Writers in that era understood …
In my law class, I wrote a paper about Rudolf Hoess, the commandant of Auschwitz. Here you go. (Afterwards I’ll include some excerpts from his autobiography, which he wrote while in prison after the war.)

Your intentions are just a direction. Your actions are the distance. Rudolf Hoess was the commandant of Auschwitz. …
There are good in-betweens and bad in-betweens. There’s the peaceful in-between when you’re on the not-too-crowded bus, running ahead of schedule. Just stare out the window in silence. Then there’s the in-between when you’re waiting for a late bus in the cold. You got those in-between moments in the morning, between a workout and a …
Second reference under “commitment” in the topical guide: Deuteronomy 6:5. It’s under commitment as “love the Lord thy God with all thine _heart_, and with all thy soul, and will all thy might”. It also references chapter 10 verse 12 with the similar “serve the Lord God with all thy _heart_” then moves into 26:16 …
Whether you think you can or think you can’t, you’re right. Henry Ford The most interesting entry in the Topical Guide to the Scriptures is the entry for “Commitment”. Okay, possibly it’s just the one I’m the most interested in right now. But it is a strange entry. In nearly 70 verses quoted from the …

I didn’t make any New Year’s resolutions this year. I got goals, I guess. But they’re all kinda pre-defined. I want to get my little business off the ground, I wanna graduate. I’d love to fix my character flaws that prevent me from feeling like I’m worth dating. (I guess those aren’t really goals, are …
I’m sitting here rather uninspired. Yeah, there are things on my mind. Thinking about never denying a generous thought and my new rule.

Thinking about Senator Romney and the preposterous vitriol aimed at him for standing up for …
