Wolf & Iron Podcast: Easter 2018 – Making Little of Much – M2M – #40
Many are making the switch from the term “Easter” to “Resurrection Sunday” as a means of distinguishing the resurrection of Christ from a fictional bunny, and I think it’s a good move. We tend to make little of much, and I’m feeling guilty of that this Easter…er Resurrection Sunday.
As Mentioned in ...

Wolf & Iron Podcast #34: Merry Christmas 2017! – Abiding instead of striving for the Christmas spirit
I know so many people who feel drained after Christmas. The traveling, the gifts, the hustle and bustle of the season are not restorative to our souls. As a consequence, we enter the new year feeling like we need a vacation. I believe a lot of this comes from striving to grab hold ...

Creating a Yearly Retrospective with Start. Stop. Keep.
New Year’s resolutions are sooo last year! Really, creating resolutions, and inevitably breaking them, has become so cliché that it’s not even worth writing an article about. However, there is something to be gained by looking back on the last year and forward to the new year and thinking about how you have grown ...

Good Will Towards Men and the Lessening of Christmas
“When we were children we were grateful to those who filled our stockings at Christmas time. Why are we not grateful to God for filling our stockings with legs?” – G.K. Chesterton, Christian Author and Apologist, 1874-1936
I believe everyone is familiar with this Christmas saying, whether or not they ...

George Washington’s 1789 Thanksgiving Proclamation
George Washington was such a great man and I am honored to live in a nation that was founded by men such as he. I love to look back on our history and imagine a nation that would have heard these words and agreed, wholeheartedly. The uncommon amount of intellect and honor and heroic feats found ...

How to Smoke a Turkey on a Weber Charcoal Grill
I have to say, while I enjoy turkey in just about any form, smoked turkey is still my favorite. Bringing in that bird off the grill, with the browned skin, bathed in smoke for hours, is such a treat for the family and friends. Here is a quick “how-to” guide for smoking your turkey.

How to Tie a Surgeon’s Knot
The Surgeon’s Knot was developed as it is named, by surgeons. They found this knot to be particularly useful in holding together thread that had become slippery from blood and tissue. The extra ‘over and under’ pass holds the thread together while the final knot loop is being tied. I decided to do a quick article ...

Famous Quotes: A man with an obsession – C.S. Lewis
Black Friday is in 8 days, as of this posting (11/20/2014). Each year America waits for the inevitable gorging of products and trampling of their neighbors…the day after we give thanks for all of our blessings. It is really one of the most disgusting customs we support and is certainly unmanly to allow yourself ...
