Finding Strength in Weakness
Last updated on: June 10, 2022 at 12:40 pm By Richard E. Simmons III
I recently read Arthur Brooks wonderful book, From Strength to Strength. In the book he talks about our weaknesses as human beings. And though we don’t like to admit it, we all have weaknesses. Brooks says when you’re honest and humble about your weaknesses, you’ll be more comfortable in your own skin. He says you’ll […] Read more

A Way That Seems Right
Last updated on: June 3, 2022 at 10:30 am By Richard E. Simmons III
In Proverbs 14:12 and Proverbs 16:25, we read these words: “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of destruction.” This is a significant verse in Proverbs and it is stated twice. I personally believe it is mentioned twice because of its importance. In the verse, the […] Read more

Is Your Child Perfect?
Last updated on: May 26, 2022 at 12:18 pm By Richard E. Simmons III
Recently in The Washington Post, there was an article on how perfectionism is destroying our young adults’ mental health. Parents are pushing their children to build the perfect college resume. It is one thing to be a conscientious high-achiever but it is another to be an unhealthy perfectionist. The article goes on to say that […] Read more

The Power of Shame
Last updated on: May 19, 2022 at 1:53 pm By Richard E. Simmons III
I am discovering that many men suffer silently from shame. Shame has so much to do with the way you see yourself. Your sense of value and worth as a person. Shame generally is a result of perceived failure—whether it be business failure, financial failure, athletic failure, academic failure, relational failure or moral failure. Shame, […] Read more

The Foundation of Happiness-Part II
Last updated on: May 13, 2022 at 12:59 pm By Richard E. Simmons III
In last weeks blog, I shared how Woody Allen’s worldview has lead to his sense of meaninglessness and despair. He acknowledges that in a godless universe, life is purposeless and upon death there is everlasting nothingness. Pretty bleak. I would however, ask you to think about the issue of purpose. Purpose implies design. Look at […] Read more

The Foundation of Happiness-Part 1
Last updated on: May 6, 2022 at 11:33 am By Richard E. Simmons III
I have been reading a book titled, The Power of Meaning by Emily Esfahani Smith. The subtitle of the book is intriguing: Finding Fulfillment In a World Obsessed with Happiness. I have concluded that modern people believe that happiness is primarily found in wealth and pleasurable experiences. Yet, this leaves many people with nothing but […] Read more

Understanding Vladimir Putin
Last updated on: April 29, 2022 at 10:54 am By Richard E. Simmons III
Two weeks ago in The Wall Street Journal, there was an article about the mayor of Motyzhyn, Ukraine. The article read: Mayor Olha Sukhenko took care of her village like a family for more than a decade, locals said, sprucing up public buildings, organizing concerts and settling disputes. When the Russian army withdrew last week […] Read more
