Remember this guy, young Timothy Hornor, whom I interviewed in Interview With an Actor in an Upcoming Bud Superbowl Commercial ?: But of course you remember. You have a mind like a steel trap. That’s why I love you. I said then that Tim would become wildly famous—and (as always) I’m right...


God designed us with absolute and inviolate free will so that we could choose to be in relationship with him; the fidelity of a person who has no choice but to give it is worthless. God desires a real relationship with us, not one of zombie automaton to controlling master...

I love this!


You would think, with all the attention the environment’s been getting lately, that God wouldn’t just fling huge wads of junk out of heaven. But as I was walking through San Diego’s Balboa Park the other day, I found this disturbing proof that that’s exactly what he’s done...


We all struggle with too often or habitually doing or thinking things that we know are bad for us and/or those around us. Our dysfunctional behavior is fueled by anger and resentment deeply rooted within us...


Mmmmmm … delicious water meter honey. I came across this extremely busy hive (bees were zooming in and out of there like it was Christmas at O’Hare) in an alley running between some businesses and homes in downtown Encinitas, CA...


John Shore Mmmmm....delicious water meter honey ....

Here’s a picture I took this weekend in some mountains four miles from our home. I haven’t slept since. Be afraid. Posted in Uncategorized Tagged: God, humor, mountain people, rock people


Yesterday my wife Cat and I hung around uber-snazzy La Jolla, CA, which is just down the coast from where we live...


And on his way down there, Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, will slip and slide on the blood of all the Iranians whose slaughter for tomorrow he has now green-lighted. Thousands will be beaten and murdered for wanting nothing more than a fair count of their vote...


(Here’s another excerpt from my play, “Speak of the Devil.” [Pieces of the play I've previously run are Satan's Ministers Await Satan's Arrival, and Enter Satan.] This scene opens with God and Satan in heaven.) GOD: You have free will. SATAN: I know. I can’t say I ever thought about it much...

Are you a guy who thinks he might be having a midlife crisis? If you’d like to know for sure, take the simple test below. On a separate piece of paper, write down the number corresponding to the answer you picked for each of the questions...

Diane One of your posts will be mentioned on my blog tomorrow (Friday, 6/12) as one of my 3 favorite recent blog posts.

Thank you, Diane! That's very kind of you.


You swooned at my gorgeous, thrift-store-purchased painting by the great ArgentinianAlejandro Lucas Debonis. You marveled at my ultra-thrifty Peruvian wonderland. Youworried about What Did 50’s Kids Think of This Toy? You were minimal help figuring out what this thing is. And now comesthis...


I’m making the eight or so classmates of mine who can hear me suffer from having to hold their laughter in. We’re all standing beside our desks saying the Pledge of Allegiance, same as we did every morning...

Ginny Coggins Wood Hi, John! I just found your website by GOOGLING "processing guilt" and absolutely loved your article. Your words and the corresponding comments definitely shed some light on the questions I had. Thank you! I've added you to my "favorites" and want to check back often. Have a great day!

Thank you! Very much.


I am happy to report that out of the literally tens of millions of documents available for downloading on Scribd.com, my collection, “My Funniest Stuff,” was chosen to display on Scribd’s front page. Doubt it, Thomas? Oh, yeah?! Then go to www.scribd.com...


This is the next in my series, 7 Reasons Women Stay in Bad Relationships. The sixth reason women too often continue in relationship with an abusive man is because they simply cannot believe that their man is as different from they as he apparently is when he’s abusive...


This morning a reader, “urbanruralwitness,” left the saddest comment on my post My Cup Runneth Over. “At least more than 1 person looks at your blog,” he or she wrote. “Unlike me. Let me ask: Was it tough to start this blog? How did other people notice you? My blog is now a bud...

People are forever saying that one of the keys to a happy marriage is learning to compromise. And in the sense in which that’s usually meant, that’s true. But in another, deeper sense, it’s also true that thekey to a happy marriage is learning tonever compromise at all...


A few weeks ago, a young web designer named Daniel Gurtner (whom I don’t know and have never met), bought my book, “I’m OK—You’re Not: The Message … [and so on].” Out of the goodness of his heart, Daniel then made the below, which is my first ever book video. Built by a fan! For free...


Hi, friends. Today I meant to write the follow-up to my certain Pulitzer Prize winning, The Cooking Show In My Head. What I’ve been doing today instead, though, is making available on Scribd.com my book I’m OK–You’re Not: The Message We’re Selling Nonbelievers, and Why We Should Stop...


Welcome back to The Cooking Show In My Head. I’m your cooking toast … your coasting took … your toasted cook—whoa, did I say that? Stupid. Not a PBS special, which one day I host to hope. Hope to toast. Hope to host! My goodness...


Not so much with the riveting Just a quick note to say why I’ve not posted anything in the last few days. Cuz. I’m. Lazy. Plus, my wife Cat had FOUR DAYS OFF! Whoo. Hoo...


Where all the magic happens Tonight we’re going to be making one of my signature dishes, Cheesy Deliciousness. As I’m sure many of you are aware, the name of this dish derives from the massive amount of cheese that goes into it, as well as the fact that it is delicious...


(This is for those of you who’ve been kind enough to express an interest in how, as an adult, I’ve processed some of the less-than-ideal stuff that happened to me as a kid...


She just read my last blog post Oh no! I’m boring! Upon re-reading it, I just realized that my last blog post (Forget Yourself to Save Yourself) is quite disturbingly dull. It was a Totally Serviceable Idea, I thought. (And think. And I did just jazz it up a little.) It came to me at breakfast...


On the “Colbert Report” last night, Meghan McCain said “I do believe that the Republican party can be a safe place for the gay community. … If you go to the basic beliefs of the Republican party—keeping government out of your life—why can’t that include marriage...


Hey, I really want to thank those of you who so kindly commented on the last couple of posts I’ve done on my family. I have found your expressions of sympathy quite dramatically moving. Thank you, very much...
