The True Measure of a Man – Richard Simmons on SBE

Erik Guzman April 1st, 2011

Tyler Durden said it well in the movie Fight Club:

"You're not your job. You're not how much money you have in the bank. You're not the car you drive. You're not the contents of your wallet. You're not your !@#$&* khakis."

When life falls apart, khakis ain't gonna cut it. I don't know if today's guest would say it exactly like that, but he agrees with the sentiment.

So, if a man isn't what he does or who he … (Read More)

Sharon July 25th, 2008

Tweet

If you're just joining me and my story, here are chapters one, two, three, four and five of A Doxology in Darkness.

After this startling awakening, I began to recall various singles groups I had attended in my life. A couple had been great: healthy people, truly there with no agenda but to meet with others in their same social bracket, which was single.

I could never have predicted the life-changing healing I would come to experience.

Funny how we often look back on dramatic periods of time, and cannot for the life of us imagine what we were feeling just moments before the big e … (Read More)
