Jason Gay: The 27 Rules of Conquering the Gym -... →
herroman:
This is the time of year when even people who hate the gym think about going to the gym. Many of us are still digesting whole floors of gingerbread houses, and jeans that fit comfortably in October are now a denim humiliation.
Sweating is a good way to begin 2012. Exercise, like dark chocolate and office meetings that suddenly get canceled, is a proven pathway to nirvana. But if...

On Cursing
I’ve always learned in church that cursing is bad. I’ve even taught that lesson myself in youth group. I remember it well because I poured over the Bible for texts condemning cursing. Here’s one of my favorites from James 3:5-8:
5 Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. 6 The...
On Homosexuality
I know that many churches do not handle the issue of homosexuality very well. It’s usually not discussed, glossed over, discussed with hateful undertones or outright words of condemnation. I was reading Village Church’s statement on homosexuality and found it to be clear, well-written and very much in the spirit of biblical texts:
“The Village Church feels compelled to...

Smattering of Thoughts
I’ve been working until almost midnight every day this past week and it’s caused me to think about what I’ve been doing with my life.
I want to be passionate about my work and have it make a positive impact. I don’t think I’m afraid of working hard, I’m afraid of being enslaved to work I hate doing. I want to learn new things and sharpen my strengths.

Mobility Issues
As someone in the marketing field, I take special notice to the advertisements I get. I keep getting these really great direct mailers from The Scooter Store. I don’t know why they suddenly started sending me these things, I’m obviously not in their ideal demographic but I get them nonetheless and they bring absurd hilarity to my overwhelmingly adventurous life. The newest mailer...

Top 10 Myths About Introverts →
Myth #1 – Introverts don’t like to talk. This is not true. Introverts just don’t talk unless they have something to say. They hate small talk. Get an introvert talking about something they are interested in, and they won’t shut up for days.
Myth #2 – Introverts are shy. Shyness has nothing to do with being an Introvert. Introverts are not necessarily afraid of people. What they need is a...
