Finding The Replacement Ingredient
What happens to life when everything around you deteriorates as you keep trying to live? Have you come that far in life that it's happened? Have you really lived long enough for the world to seem to crumble around you? When it felt that way, what was your solution?

I Did It, But At What Cost
It's a little after 3:00 p.m. You're just walking out of an office building after seeing a doctor. Your life isn't what it was just hours ago. In the blink of an eye, everything changed. And what the doctor said came with a weight that was like a mountain on your shoulders.

Why Milestones Are More Important Than You Think
You enter into a new world. You've finally found home. And you tentatively, anxiously, step out onto the new field. What you're missing is obvious, even if you don't see it. It's as plain to the rest of the world as the nose on your face.

Plate Carriers Are Now Memes
Plate carriers are now memes. Devoid of all meaning and practicality, they have become nothing more than a symbol. A symbol of what, though? Protection? Rarely. Most often in the modern world, we see them being ill-fitting, worn incorrectly, of low quality, and often with foam plates or no plates at all (anyone who has had to wear one or fit someone for a plate carrier can tell)—and being worn in contexts that rarely serve their intended purpose. They are more often than not used as an intimidation tactic by those who can no longer own firearms.

Patterns of Behavior
On March 8, 2025, I drove my son to youth group. The previous week, warm temperatures had melted the stubborn ice from the group leader's sloping yard, but two days before the youth gathered, unexpected snow fell again. The subsequent hard freeze made the leader's driveway and dooryard a glacial nightmare again, and when my son and I arrived, I told him to go in without me. I planned to take my time walking in.

Men who fulfill
Dad was born in Maine in January 1933. He was the second child and son born to his parents, though his older brother died at a very young age. A sister and another brother were born in subsequent years, and they were raised together by God-fearing parents in southern Maine. Grandpa was a carpenter. Dad learned many skills from him. Gram taught briefly. She was frugal, but not cheap. During the Great Depression and World War II years when sugar, eggs, and other staples were rationed, Gram celebrated her children's half-birthdays as an excuse to bake cakes for them, since sweets were rare luxuries. Dad fondly remembered his mother's justification for that tradition.

Some Dreams Shouldn't Come True
I walked into my favorite store. It's a place that is sort of like the television show Cheers. I say that because everybody there knows your name, and the regulars and employees are more like friends than just people you encounter. Oh, and the place is literally run by a woman named Sam (Samantha).
