Here’s a misdemeanor definition from the dictionary on my computer: a nonindictable offense, regarded in the US (and formerly in the UK) as less serious than a felony. A nonindictable offense is one where lawyers and law-enforcement don’t “formally accuse of or charge with a serious crime.” And just to clarify a little bit more, here’s a definition of the word felony from that … The rest of the story…
You might not believe it. But America was actually debt free one time. It was way back in 1835. And it happened thanks to President Andrew Jackson. He was the first and only president to pay off the national debt completely. One biographer wrote that the former president “viewed debt as a ‘moral failing,’ a sort of black magic.” Tragically, America is now trillions … The rest of the story…
So, let’s talk about your vortex energy generator. Sounds fun, right? I recently discovered that a man named Rudolph Steiner said the heart is a seven-sided regular form that sits in an imaginary box in the chest. And in case you don’t know what a “seven-sided regular form” means, it’s a three-dimensional form, and the “regular” part means the surface areas are all identical. … The rest of the story…
I’m just gonna share a few musical factoids with you today. So if you’re not in the mood for that sort of thing, it probably won’t interest you that Paul McCartney released an album on December 5, 1973. Yeah, December 5, 1973, saw a release of “Band On The Run” in the United States. One source I saw said that album was the “critical … The rest of the story…
Perfect people don’t make mistakes. Because that’s one of the criteria for perfection. No mistakes. Ever. Not even one tiny one. So, have you ever met any perfect people? Oh, stop it. I am not. You’re embarrassing me. (insert chuckles and giggles here) Anyway… Here’s the irony in this world’s lack of perfect people. Originally there WAS one perfect man and one perfect woman. … The rest of the story…
If you can’t trust the king, who can you trust? That’s a good question. Well, it’s at least an interesting question. Especially since so many people seem to prefer no kings at all. In fact, they’ll go to any length, including the exclusion of men who aren’t kings. In a way, history is filled with examples of why you can’t trust the king. Because … The rest of the story…
Most people, if they even think about it, wonder why people like me (Christians) read the Bible over and over. But in their current condition, they can’t possibly understand how the word is alive. In fact, they probably look at a statement like that and ask, “The word is alive? Don’t you mean the words ARE alive?” And, grammatically, they’re sorta correct. But the … The rest of the story…
Human beings have probably thought about or wondered whether there is life beyond the sky and beyond the stars. I’m not an astronomer, and I don’t play one on YouTube. But I’m convinced beyond the shadow of a doubt that the answer to those questions and dreams is yes… There is DEFINITELY life beyond the sky. In fact, infinite life is up there somewhere … The rest of the story…
Today I read a few snippets of articles that talked about the value of scripture memorization when it comes to teaching kids about faith in Jesus and His word. That brought back memories of vacation Bible school in a small eastern Kansas town. The VBS teacher certainly encouraged scripture memorization. So, being the eager sort of nerd I was to show teachers and other … The rest of the story…
Who cares if you sing truth to a kid? Especially if it’s a very young kid. Because they’re not even gonna know or care if it’s true or not anyway right? They’ll just trust you. Or whatever grown up is in charge. Bingo! That right there is why you should sing truth to a kid. Well, at least if singing to, and with, a … The rest of the story…
