It’s not uncommon to see some very cute things happening here in the Campbell household. There are, after all, several cute people, who often think of cute things to do. And so, there are many chances for cuteness! Last night during dinner clean up, I happened to spot one. Most times I might have corrected…

I Don’t Ever Check The Weather
It is not uncommon that I am surprised by the weather. Whether it is a giant snow storm named after an animated fish, or a “heat wave” in January, or just an afternoon rain storm: I am often in the dark. I don’t recall what specific weather recently alerted me to this pattern in my…
Trust
A while back, I was having a conversation with a friend about the centrality of trust to Jesus’ teaching in the gospels, and Scripture as a whole. It seems to be a foundational principal of Kingdom thinking. We were discussing the various tenets of faith, and trust, and belief, and as we hashed it out…
The Blame Game
Deep within the heart of mankind is a hesitancy, if not an outright refusal to accept responsibility. Some of us are able to work up the courage on occasion, but generally our first (and second, and third) response is to point the finger at someone else. Yesterday a friend told me a story he had…
Sex Sells (Apparently)
I wouldn’t usually post such photos here. But I guess I’m trying to make a point. Have we really gotten so used to seeing women in their underwear (or less) that it doesn’t even slightly surprise us? (My hope is that when you saw the photo for this post on my website, you were surprised,…
Eating Better
It’s not a New Year’s Resolution, really, but since around January 3rd or so, I’ve been eating better—and I’m already really noticing the effects of it! Around the holidays (which, in America means October 31st through January 1st, give or take a few days or weeks) we are inundated with all kinds of wonderful foods,…
Communication Curmudgeon
I think I’m becoming ‘That Guy’. The old guy who laments the passing of the glory days of yesteryear, and lambasts the continuously degrading patterns of behavior exhibited by each successive generation. Yep. Sometimes, that’s me. For example… I find myself frequently commenting on my son’s tendency towards wearing his hat backwards, purposely wearing socks…
Christmas All Year Round?
We’re getting really, really close to Christmas Day. Have you noticed? Throngs of folks out picking up gifts for everyone they love—and maybe some they don’t—all hoping that the recipient will feel the love held for them by the giver through the gift chosen and given. It’s kinda fun, actually. (Except for the “throngs” part….
Big Box Thinking
New-ish friend and somewhat-regular blog reader, Jessica, noticed a brief aside in this post not too long ago, and encouraged me to take some time to flesh out the thoughts that I previously quickly prohibited. (They were not directly related to the post being written then, and they also would have likely nearly doubled the…
How To Clean Your Bombilla
This post may not appeal to every one of the regular visitors to GregsHead.net, but there continues to be a stream of traffic landing on my previous post, “Clean Your Bombilla“. This post is mainly for you, new and random cyber-guest! (And fellow yerba mate aficionado!) Yesterday I decided it was time to clean my…
