A Message of Hope for Christian Singles!


When I first saw this still image (above), I honestly thought she was holding onto a blowup doll. (I think it was his haircut.) Then I realized it was the street-evangelical, beat-poet who made a big splash a couple of years ago with his viral video, "Love God, Hate Religion."  Apparently he's married now and doling out relationship advice, together, with is charming wife.

In this 30-minute video recording, the newly weds respond to relationship questions from their myriad of Christian, social media followers.  Their expressions of faith, hope, and encouragement speak to a young generation of humble seekers of truth.  The question on all of their minds—how can I be single and a disciples of Jesus a the same time?  The accessible and heartfelt tone of this couple's message makes it easy to listen to, regardless of the viewer's religious denomination.  Not everyone will agree on the ontological underpinnings upon which their views are founded, but—I don't care who you are—you've got to respect what their beliefs have yielded in terms of the faithful disciples and responsible citizens they've become.
Old Twitter Proverb: "Dating without the intent of getting married is like going to the grocery store with no money—you either leave feeling unsatisfied or you end up taking something that isn't yours." (Minute 20:15)

    They're very sensible and likable people, but I was NOT expecting her voice to sound like that.

    Her voice is pretty high, huh. I, personally, got hung up on his football-helmet head of hair—so distracting! My eyes were continually being drawn to it. By the end though, I had adjusted.

    Both of these examples just stand as a testament to me that despite our physical drawbacks (or spiritual, emotional, social, mental, or whatever), we can ALL be powerful witnesses for our beliefs.

Rummi-"CUB" vs. Rummi-"CUBE"

The "Rummikub" Pronunciation Debate Affirmative Constructive: "Cub" For years, I have been a firm advocate and defender of the pronunciation, Rummi-"CUB".  The game box I grew up with spelled it, Rummicub  on the box. However, other productions of the game have variant spellings: Rummykub , Rummy Kube , Rummy Tiles , etc.  Based solely on box spelling, the game's true pronunciation is open to interpretation. Therefore, Rummi"cub" is equally acceptable to any other given pronunciation. Negative  Constructive : "Cube" My opponents argue that since the game originated over seas, we ought to respect and maintain its original pronunciation. Affirmative Rebuttal: Americanization of the Term When the game was brought to America and given Americanized rules, its name was also Americanized. Pronunciation loyalists then counter my rebuttal with, "there are lots of adopted foreign words that have retained their original pron...

The Secret Reason Why "Good Witch" Feels Emotionally Off

TL;DR It's the Botox. For the past 3 months, my wife, Stacia, and I have been watching  Good Witch  (via Netflix and Amazon Prime). Stacia adores winding down to "Hallmark-y shows." We can rely on Good Witch episodes to always resolve happily. The episodes are never too intense. The height of conflict revolves around things like someone's inability to locate the perfect spot to snap a romantic photo for a new tourism brochure. I consider my time watching these shows spouse bonding time , and emotional training. My favorite thing about watching feel-good shows with Stacia is getting to observe her facial reactions to the on-screen drama. When two people lean in for a long-anticipated kiss, Stacia tucks her knees into her chest and frowns with her forehead while lifting her chin and bottom lip. While I'm typically unable to suspend my disbelief, Stacia seems completely entranced by the various characters' emotions. Wishing I could join her in being swept aw...

Who's Got The Funk?

I am an amateur guitarist, and I've got no funk. My musical skills seem to lacking that special something . Great musicians have it . Those fortunate enough to have gotten hold of  it , create timeless hits. While musicians without it  fade into oblivion. After spending hours searching through Blues history websites and 1970's band documentaries online, I discovered what that special something  is thank to a (70% Man, 30% fish) character from the BBC show "The Mighty Boosh" named Old Gregg. He identified that  thing  as  The Funk ! But what exactly is The Funk ? Here is some dialogue from the show to help explain its origin and purpose: Old Gregg: You're a musician, yeah? Howard: Yes I am. Old Gregg: Butchya ain't very good, are ya? Howard: I'm one of the best in town. Old Gregg: Come on, I read your reviews. Hmm? You know what your problem is? Howard: What? Old Gregg: Ya ain't got the funk. You're all rigid. Hmm? You're l...
