  • Larry's Leuko Logbook, Part 1: Meeting My Nemesis
    Apr 17 2025

    Text me your thoughts!

    This episode of TFJ brings a personal story I hope will promote your well-being. I’ve entitled it “Larry’s Leuko Logbook.” I’ll be sharing my experience with oral cancer. My experience has been part confusing, part frustrating, part frightening, and part amazing--and maybe all those at once. My hope is to share a story that will help you cope with troubles, get some crazy thoughts off my chest, and entertain a bit.

    Leukoplakia is my nemesis, a growth of painful cells that can lead to cancer, that appeared on my innocent tongue in the Fall of 2022. The story involves family, friends, medical professionals, treatments, mood swings, mortality, and yes, God.

  • Seeking God in the Quantum Age: Dynamic!
    Apr 3 2025

    Text me your thoughts!

    Lexi, the modern woman, needs a framework to find meaning in this world. It must be true to modern understandings and also true to the profound concepts of philosophy and theology. I believe the framework of Process philosophy with Open and Relational Theology can give us a path of well-being in our Quantum Age. Process philosophy with Open and Relational Theology offers a new worldview that correlates modern truths of the universe with profound insights about God. We can embrace the fact that everything in the universe is changing moment-by-moment and believe this includes God as the source of all creativity and value.

    This is Part 3 of the Quantum Age series

    Segments include:

    Needing new answers in the Quantum Age

    The dynamic God for our ever-changing life

    Lexi’s life and the dynamic God

  • Reframing Ideas for More Success
    Mar 20 2025

    Text me your thoughts!

    Reframing our thoughts about the events of life is a superpower each can learn. We are not trapped in patterns of thought that hinder our well-being. It’s possible to discover options and alternatives no matter what experiences we have. By changing our vocabulary, examining the evidence, and questioning our assumptions we can reframe the ideas toward more successful and constructive outcomes.

    Interpreting what we sense 1:51
