10 Things Your Minister Wants To Tell You (But Can’t Because He Needs the Job) for the “steeple dropouts” who grew up on organized religion, as well as for the millions of Americans who, each Sunday, recite ancient creeds about virgin births and bodily resurrections, all the while feeling just a tad unconvinced.

The weigh in (285.5)


285.5 this morning guys.
Without looking back I think I was 291 last time I posted it up. It has been about a month. 
So I am not going to bitch about 6 pounds. I always wish it was more but I know I have to be realistic about it. I was at 285.8 about a week or [...]

How to improve commercials?

But then in the comments it was suggested that when it [...]

May Day


Well it is officially May Day. A day recognized by many people for many different reasons.
May Day has special meaning for me.
23 years ago today my wife walked up to me and announced that she was pregnant with our first child. I will never forget the look in her eyes. I will never forget the feeling [...]
