The Sofia Effect: November 2010
http://thesofiaeffect.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Living the life I never dreamed. Thursday, November 18, 2010. Two Sides of Life. I woke up this morning on the Macedonian shore of Lake Dojran. Looking across its glassy surface I could see the rugged mountain peaks of Greece. The majestic view is breathtaking. I sipped my coffee and tried to absorb the weight of this experience. So much history. So much beauty. So much to think about. I recognized the privilege of being alive in this moment. On the other hand. On the other hand. On the other hand. Somet...

The Sofia Effect: October 2010
http://thesofiaeffect.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Living the life I never dreamed. Friday, October 29, 2010. Go Drink a Coffee. My journey to this scene had begun much earlier in the day. Our car had become almost impossible to start on these cold fall mornings. I had come to this store earlier that morning to buy the parts to rectify the problem. Иди да пиеш кафе. Thursday, October 21, 2010. The White Picket Fence. Deep down, somewhere in my soul, I am a writer. Maybe not a very interesting one, but the spark of writing is a part of me. I often...Thank...

The Sofia Effect: What Are You Afraid Of?
http://thesofiaeffect.blogspot.com/2012/04/what-are-you-afraid-of.html
Living the life I never dreamed. Tuesday, April 3, 2012. What Are You Afraid Of? I knew I could put a stop to her devilish domination of the night. I knew I could. But did I dare? I am reading a Donald Miller book right now about how he helped write the screenplay for a movie based on his other book, Blue Like Jazz. Why don’t we hear God’s call to be extraordinary lovers of life and others? I challenge you to ask yourself the following question: “What am I afraid of? 8221; Before you respond too quickly,...

The Sofia Effect: January 2011
http://thesofiaeffect.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Living the life I never dreamed. Thursday, January 20, 2011. 8220;Tik tok, tik tok,” goes the clock. Second by second, hour by hour, day by day, this old friend orders our existence. We seldom take notice of this mechanism or recognize the truly significant place it occupies, but it is always there. By it we schedule our lives and evaluate our usefulness. But what if it is wrong? How can we know? Do we continue to orient our lives by its guidance? How can the situation be improved? Often the task of corr...

The Sofia Effect: Liar, Liar
http://thesofiaeffect.blogspot.com/2012/04/liar-liar.html
Living the life I never dreamed. Wednesday, April 18, 2012. In his book on humanity’s ability to adopt self-deception, Robert Trivers identified three areas where we indulge ourselves by clutching to fantasy.* First, we actively work to both create and suppress memories. Time and time again we re-interpret the past to protect ourselves from pain and elevate our self-image. The Good Ole Days. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. Yes; right on. April 19, 2012 at 12:36 AM.

The Sofia Effect: March 2012
http://thesofiaeffect.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Living the life I never dreamed. Thursday, March 29, 2012. Red Double-Decker Tour Bus. I was sitting in a coffee shop in Budapest, Hungary doing one of my favorite activities, . . . just sitting. I had brought my oldest daughter, Hannah, there to visit a friend and I used the time to goof around the city. One of the advantages of living in Europe is that places like this are close by. I was reading John Eldredge’s book entitled Desire. 8220; Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the thin...

The Sofia Effect: The Least of These
http://thesofiaeffect.blogspot.com/2012/04/least-of-these.html
Living the life I never dreamed. Saturday, April 28, 2012. The Least of These. The King will reply, ‘ Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me. 8220;The least of these.” Surely Jesus had these children in mind when he said those words. I think we make it to complicated sometimes. All we have to do is to love and sometimes just be there for the least of these. Who are the least of these. May 8, 2012 at 6:15 AM.

The Sofia Effect: Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?
http://thesofiaeffect.blogspot.com/2012/04/whos-afraid-of-big-bad-wolf.html
Living the life I never dreamed. Wednesday, April 11, 2012. Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf? I don’t usually like scary movies. On the rare occasion when I do watch one, just when the plot turns to terror and my heart starts to race, my mind speaks, “it is just a movie.” “Oh yeah,” my heart says and I make the boring intellectual decision not to be afraid. What if they don’t value me? And this fear keeps us from leading better lives. The real question on my heart is “Why? I challenge you to take Luke...
