I think the material here can really help any of us understand ourselves better – I think you will be glad you read it… A guy named Albert Ellis developed some ideas about therapy (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) years ago that I think have some great tools mixed in. Perhaps one of the ones that I…Continue reading Understanding (ours and others) Emotions

When to seek marriage counseling
I have been asked to supply some additional thoughts about expectations – specifically about disappointment … after what I have written about expectations, a good friend wanted me to talk about how to handle being disappointed and how to handle being a disappointment. However, I didn’t have time to put it together, so Lord willing,…Continue reading When to seek marriage counseling
Most influential speaker… I found his archive!
Tony Campolo has been one of the most influential speakers on me as a speaker, but also as a Christian and just as a human seeking to live life abundantly and passionately. His sermons are hopeful and yet convicting as very few others are. One of my goals is to live stories like he tells……Continue reading Most influential speaker… I found his archive!
Grief and Grieving
I am starting this on May 10th, and it is my best friend’s birthday… however, he died a few years ago. In fact, I am now older than he ever was. His birthday (and the fact that I talked about grief and stress on TV this morning and with clients today) has brought to my…Continue reading Grief and Grieving
Talking to kids about sex – Part IV
I think I started the third talk about sex with an old story/legend about a man in the early 1900’s whose Model “T” had died on the side of the road. A stranger pulled alongside and offered some advice. The stuck driver was reluctant and argued, claiming to know a lot about cars. The good…Continue reading Talking to kids about sex – Part IV

(as they used to say in “Silver Streak”… “What…Continue reading Talking with kids about sex – Part III

Talking to Kids about Sex Part I
Talking to Kids About Sex Part I I married a girl who grew up in the city… with no guns in the house. Naturally, she was concerned about us having guns in our house, especially when we began to have children. So, I called my father and asked him about it. It’s ok, don’t worry……Continue reading Talking to Kids about Sex Part I
The Lonely Dragon – the story of a woman who fights against what she really wants (part I)
The Lonely Dragon The story of a woman who fights against what she really wants. Note: this is my first shot and it is almost stream-of-consciousness with very little filtering. Please offer your feedback. Once upon a time there was a beautiful little princess. She was very sweet and gentle and very clever. She was…Continue reading The Lonely Dragon – the story of a woman who fights against what she really wants (part I)

In order to afford missing counseling during that…Continue reading Summer Study 2011
Great Woman Speaker!
This is one of my favorite speakers (and people) ever. You need to book her to come speak to your people before she becomes too famous and expensive for you to afford her. I’m not kidding. Ginger, can we write a book together soon? http://www.gingerciminello.com/

Articles on Addiction
The links here all appear to be dead links. I am checking on them… A young lady I know, Lea Rittenhouse, interviewed me about addiction issues. Despite that, I think they turned out very well and very helpful.

A Simple Gospel
I was challenged a while back to add a reasonably short, very understandable, intimately relatable explanation of the good news of what Jesus accomplished on the cross for His creation. I recently realized that I would want it on the website so I could link to it easily from other articles. This is not meant…Continue reading A Simple Gospel
