Ecclesiastes and the Weight of Meaninglessness
Have you ever noticed how unsettling Ecclesiastes feels compared to most of Scripture. It does not rush to reassure. It does not soften its conclusions. It returns again and again to the same observation: everything fades, everything repeats, and nothing under the sun seems capable of holding still long enough to become permanent. Wisdom fails to secure lasting satisfaction. Pleasure loses its edge. Work outlives the worker. Even moral effort appears unable to guarantee stability. For many readers, this tone feels almost dissonant, as if the book is saying out loud what faith is supposed to quiet.

After 20 Years in the Gym, I Quit for 3 Months. Here's What I Did Instead.
After 20 years of gym memberships, I needed a break. I usually take at least a month long sabbatical every year. But I didn't need that this year, I needed a break from the gym entirely. Yet I still wanted to get in my workouts. So I tested what would happen if I stripped fitness down to the bare minimum for a while.

If You're Waiting for the Root Canal, You're Missing the Point of Skincare
At some point, our culture decided that care is only valuable if it’s extreme. If it doesn’t burn, blast, paralyze, or shock the system into instant compliance, it’s dismissed as “doing nothing.” Apparently, that now includes estheticians.

Why I Go to Physical Therapy Every Week Even Though It Wrecks My Schedule
Nobody wants to hear this, but I'm going to say it anyway. I go to physical every single week. Not because I'm injured. Not because something is broken. Not because a doctor told me I had to.

How Salt Bricks Clean the Lungs of Smokers in Sauna Walls
Smoking brings thousands of harmful chemicals into the organism, many of which are deposited in the lungs. With time, these particles accumulate resulting in chronic bronchitis, emphysema and increased chances of lung cancer. Although stopping smoking is the most crucial measure towards the health of a smoker, other treatments can also be used to hasten the removal of accumulated debris in the body and also to decrease swelling.

Most People Don't Feel Unhealthy ...Until Their Body Starts Limiting Their Life
Most people don't wake up one day and feel unhealthy. That's the problem. Decline doesn't announce itself. It blends in. It feels like stress. Like being busy. Like getting older. Like a phase that will pass once things calm down.

What If Truth Is Rejected Even When It Is Lived Well
It’s easy to assume that if something is true, and if it is communicated clearly, reasonably, and with goodwill, it will eventually be accepted. This assumption sits quietly beneath a lot of effort, especially in faith. We speak carefully. We try to be fair. We explain ourselves patiently. Somewhere beneath all of that is the hope that clarity and sincerity will be enough. But what if that hope misunderstands how truth actually moves through the world.

Truth Is Often Rejected Because It Demands Change
There is a widespread assumption, rarely spoken but deeply believed, that truth will eventually be accepted if it is communicated clearly, patiently, and with genuine goodwill. When resistance appears, the instinct is to search for error in tone, framing, or explanation. The underlying belief is simple: if the truth were presented well enough, rejection would disappear. This belief is comforting, but it is false. History, Scripture, and lived experience all point in the same direction. Truth is often rejected not because it is unclear, but because it is costly.

Preservation for Eternal Impact
It is easy to feel as though most of what is said disappears. Words are spoken, written, posted, argued over, and then quickly buried beneath the next wave of noise. Attention moves on. Platforms refresh. What once felt urgent becomes invisible. In that environment, a quiet but persistent question emerges. What actually lasts. And more uncomfortably, what is worth preserving when so much seems to vanish without consequence.
