New Blog Layout

Blogger just came out with some pretty sleek new blog themes, so I changed some things up on here; and I am pretty impressed! I think the home page now looks a lot more cleaner than it was before, and the subscription button (front and center) is a lot easier to find. I also like how my profile is quite easy to see on the left hand side of the panel. It looks very nice!


Another thing about this new "theme" is that it encourages sharing posts on different social media outlets with the "share" button located on the top right and bottom left of every post. This means if you read something on here that encourages you or makes you think, it is a lot easier for you to share it with others too. No excuses.


So let me know what you think. If you run across any problems with the new layout, let me know and I can do my best to address them. I am trying to tinker a little with some of the bugs (make sure a lot of my older posts transitioned well to the new format). I think this new theme is easier on the eye, and a lot more navigable. Let me know if you agree!

    Although I do miss the 'popular posts' section, I find this layout to be much easier to navigate through since it is much less busy! In addition the hazy color scheme gives a relaxed feeling to the site. Great update! Keep up the good work.

Re-Imgaining Legacy

Image
In a transient world, we chase the permanent. A craving for lasting significance is rooted in every human's heart. We know we will not be here long, so we desire to leave a legacy. We want to be remembered. Which is why I was surprised by the statement Abby Wambach made upon retiring. Wambach retired just a few days ago, and in the recently released Gatorade advertisement (watch here ), the former women's soccer star said: "Forget me."  Not the usual: "cherish the golden moments," or "remember the heights I took us." Simply "Forget me."    To me and my culture's ears this sounds strange, and rightly so. "Forget me" goes against the self preserving fiber of our beings. We know all too well those former athletes that incessantly harken back to the "good ole' days" when they "changed the game." Worn down ex-players and celebrities, like broken records, repetitively tout their memories an

Life Change

Image
So, I am going to be a father. Montana and I announced on social media a few weeks ago that we are expecting a third member of our family this November. That is what we call a big change. One might even call that life changing. We are both excited, a little scared, and Montana at least, has been really sick for the past several weeks with nausea and dehydration. We have since got her on some medication so she has been doing better this past week as she enters her second trimester. Life is coming at us the only way life knows how to come: fast. Bring it on. My wife will tell you that I am a slow guy, and generally big life changes and major risks freak me out. In a perfect world I would like to know everything at a minimum 5 years prior; that way I could then comfortably prepare for the next chapter of life. If I could somehow catch a glimpse of 2022 I could see what sort of job I would have and make the necessary preparations today. If I could peer into the cryst

My “Force Awakens” review *With Spoilers*

Image
My “Force Awakens” review *With Spoilers* As a traditionalist wary of changing the beautiful past, I was skeptical going into theater to see Star Wars The Force Awakens last night. Having been burned before (I still have not picked up the pieces from that animated Hobbit prequel to my beloved Lord of the Rings classic) it is understandable that I would be critical when change comes to great things of the past.   Though I was never as invested in Star Wars as I was with Lord of the Rings, I was still invested. Star Wars is after all a legendary series with light sabers, lasers, space travel, and eastern religion. Who would not like that? Exactly. Everyone likes Star Wars and I am no exception to everyone. But it was more than the “newness” that made me hesitant for the much anticipated film. George Lucas had stepped down and Disney had stepped in—not maybe my prescribed recipe for success. The cherished characters had now become really old, which always brings challenges
