Two Scoops, Please!

Posted on March 19, 2017 by Chris Hambleton

Disclaimer: this isn’t a post about Raisin Bran (though it would taste wonderful this morning!), but about self-worth. It’s a subject that’s been bouncing around in the back of my mind for awhile, particularly recently. And honestly, the more I consider it, the more I … Continue reading →

Do the Next Thing

Posted on February 26, 2017 by Chris Hambleton

Perspectives, Love, and Liberty

Posted on November 8, 2016 by Chris Hambleton

Think of your favorite book for a moment — do you realize that NO ONE will ever read that book the same way as you? Even the incredibly detailed and intricate works like “The Lord of the Rings” are never read quite the … Continue reading →

A Peculiar Epiphany

Posted on September 29, 2016 by Chris Hambleton

Compassion? For Her?!?!

Posted on August 28, 2016 by Chris Hambleton

Compassion. Sometimes it pops up in the most surprising of times, places — and people. A couple weeks ago when glancing over the political headlines, Donald Trump struck a low-blow against Hillary Clinton over her brain “short-circuiting” and I suddenly felt two very strong … Continue reading →

The Ends and the Means

Posted on April 27, 2016 by Chris Hambleton
