I have heard many people say that they will never love someone the way they loved their first love. Well, I would hope not. That would be real sad. They feel that the love they felt that first time was a pure love untainted by life, but it was smashed and ruined when it didn’t [...]

Just about everything I’ve seen about troubles falling asleep says that instead of lying in bed and trying to fall asleep, if you are actually alert you should get out of bed and go do something.
What if it’s been several nights in a row that it’s 3am and you have to get up for work [...]

The street north of where I live is busy. If you get going West at just the right time in the evening, you can sit through the light there two or three times before barely squeaking through so you can sit at the next light two blocks down two or three times. It’s a four [...]

I went for my walk. The wind was barely blowing and the snow was barely falling. It was beautiful and quiet. I could hear the snow crunch under my feet. It was powdery and light. I love a snow covered world. It feels calm and clean and magical. It makes me think of Isaiah 1:18.

I’m fighting the urge to go for a walk. I’ve been fighting it since about 9pm tonight. It’s 11pm right now. It’s also about 20 degrees outside and blowing snow. And I have to go to work tomorrow. But there is really very little that is keeping me from bundling up and going out for [...]

Lake Superior State University has issued their list of banished words and phrases for 2007. I love their annual lists. It would be great if people would adhere to them, particularly advertisers and news reporters since they are one of the biggest contributors to the lists each year. The list can be found at http://www.lssu.edu/banished/current.php.

A few years ago they built a HOV lane from north Salt Lake down to Provo. [...]

Lighting of different places, as well as the creation of the lights for the world have been something that I have enjoyed thinking about for many years. It is interesting to me that when a light is dimmed, the dimness of it is easy to note, but as time continues, it does not seem so [...]

I spend a lot of time in my car listening to the radio. I’ve gotten fed up with dumb DJs and listening to the same songs over and over again, hardly any of them that I like. I think I spend more time surfing through the stations trying to find one that has something good [...]
