Last Sunday – 03/03, after having attended the conclusion of Seattle First Free Methodist Church, which is my parents and brother’s church home, I was so impressed with Pastor Craig’s step-by-step, liturgical meaning of the charge given immediately prior to the sacrament of Holy Communion that I decided to follow these members of my family
1. Intellectual Design
Notice when Macro and Micro Meet
“Form is Content.” Notice how Orca’s whale tale is an echo of the roof, or is it the other way around? At any rate the micro and macro imitate one another.
This house was an absolute wreck several years and two construction companies had false starts before they built this one less than 5 years…
Purpose, Vision, & Goals – A primer too long for LinkedIn.
Long before Simon Sinek beseeched us to “start with why”, Napoleon Hill declared identifying one’s “Major Definite Purpose” as paramount in the development of sustained desire and all the benefits that flow therefrom.
According to Hill and his myriad immediate and derivative follower’s, success is largely defined by the clarity of one’s vision and faithful…
Whose going to be the Lucky One? – i.e Who is going to get paddled?
I just got back from my Woodworking class! I had a blast and at this point love every bit about it. As I indicated in a previous post, I suddenly fell in love with wood bicycles and realized that I need to bring this into my life.
Now, this may seem crazy or at least…
Vision v. Goal
Yesterday’s post spoke about the absence of purpose v. the presence of purpose.
In it I indicated much of the hardship that I had been going through in the pursuit of my own purpose – to help bring people together in peace!
Why exactly that is my purpose, I don’t know. But, it is one…
Absence of Purpose v. Presence of Purpose
A number of years ago on my original channel, I published my blog post “A Space Oddity.” SEE [HERE].
In doing so, I described the Audi Super Bowl 2016 Commercial which serves as tribute to David Bowie through it’s incorporated use of his song “Starman.”

Past v. Present v. Future
Happy New Year! 2023 is in the past. All of 2024 is ahead of us … with the exception of this first day. And because this is a leap year, this means that we still have a full 365 days ahead. Hip, hip, hooray!!!

First Principles 1.2 – Getting into Intellectual Flow
What does intellect have to do with first principles? When we really think about it – pun allowed – we realize something really profound.
It is our ability to think which separates us from all other creatures here on Earth.
Bernard Shaw is noted to have a character stand up and say in his play…
Designing an Ideal Life
What is the best way to pursue and achieve the life of your dreams?
It would seem that this would be rather obvious. Figure out what you want to achieve and then go out and do it. What’s the big whup?
Well, it is that simple. And yet unfortunately a lot if not most people…
The Pen is Mightier Than the Sword
Think about it, really think!
The pen is mightier than the sword.
What the heck does that mean?
The use comes from a higher level than the use of the sword.
Using the pen one usually taps into the reasoning mind, whereas use of the sword taps into the emotional mind.
With the reasoning mind…
