Discover Me

Less is more. It's the experience, not the consumption. 

Small Doses

Alabama Power removed two giant old oaks in front of my office last week and I'm sure they did it in the name of progress. But I disagree. 

What Is Progress?

Companies are canceling their ad campaigns because there is no labor to fulfill the sales the ads generate. It's crazy!

Where Have The People Gone?

How you pronounce this word will tell me a lot about you.

pe-CAHN v PEE-can

A hurricane in the Gulf is going to make landfall somewhere. Destruction is inevitable. How should I feel about not wanting it to hit me and go somewhere else?

Hurricane Dissonance

I had thought that when my wife left college coaching things would get easier. Not so. Coaching high school is strange.

High School Coach

I dropped my first child at Ole Miss this past weekend. I've not had one leave the nest before. It wasn't easy. 

Frosh

Things sometimes appear to be gifts. Upon closer inspection, though, they're not.

A tribe of hunter gatherers saw another tribe for the first time. They labeled them "them" and it's been that way ever since. Which brings me to politics...

Us v Them Over and Over Again

Finding things to be proud about in our nation is getting harder. They're out there, though. They're in the little, small, meaningful things that we may have overlooked in the past while we're cheering "U-S-A!" at the Olympics.

Chin Up, America

I watched as two friend tried to convince each other of their view of religion; to be right. I watched, happy I was no longer consumed with talking up arguments like this.

I've Given Up Trying to Be Right All The Time

When a friend's father pulled me from a party onto his patio to say something to me, I was nervous. What he said has impacted me to this day.

A Friend's Father Died Last Week

Since January the 6th I've been working to change the tone where I can. It's become my mission.
