Elgielene is in the kitchen, making some very wonderfully aromatic foods for us to enjoy for lunch in a couple of hours. And she loves to listen to music on a particular channel on Pandora while she works. Right now I can hear in the background one of my favorite Elton John songs. Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters. And if you’ve never really paid … The rest of the story…
God created angels and butterflies. Not at the same time, mind you. And both of those creations were given the ability to fly. But, beyond that, they don’t have a lot in common. In fact, they’re just about as opposite as you can get. Because angels are powerful warriors. And butterflies are delicate insects. Did you know there are 750 species of butterflies in … The rest of the story…
People sure seem to get a big kick out of attacking Christians. From so-called “honest” atheists, to outright God haters, to muslims, and to everyday garden variety heathens. People consider us fair game and open targets. So I say power to the people under the steeple. Yeah, power to the people who know THE Truth. Because we are the salt and light of this … The rest of the story…
I read how some Finnish, American, and British researchers (I’ll call ’em the FAB team) used a technique called sonification to “hear” how certain proteins function. Those researchers believe “listening” to proteins, and how they work, might help doctors discover and treat diseases more effectively. Sonification occurs when composed music and mathematical algorithms interconnect. Have you ever listened to Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9? That … The rest of the story…
I’ve shared the story before how my younger brother and I lived with my grandparents, my dad’s parents, for a little while. This was way back closer to the middle of the last century. In Norman, Oklahoma. And my parents were getting divorced. So my dad made sure my brother and I had a stable home to stay in while they went through the … The rest of the story…
Sunday. Monday. And just like that we go from “the biggest game of the year” or “the most spectacular sports event of the year” to ho-hum another blah blah first day of the week. Well, maybe that’s how you do it. But not me. For me, it’s Sunday Monday and every day’s a fun day. Or maybe I should say Funderday. Because it’s not … The rest of the story…
Only one can win and claim the number 1 spot. Yeah, the team that wins the Superbowl gets to be called number 1. I get to be the number 1 Tony Funderburk on the internet. Yippee! But there is only one person who gets to be called number 1 of everything. Can you guess who it is? I’ll tell you. It’s Jesus. He’s the … The rest of the story…
I have a “bicuspid aortic valve” in my heart. In regular English, that means my heart only has two parts to the aortic valve, and it’s supposed to have three. What that means is that my aortic valve has to work harder. And it’s prone to more problems than a normal heart. And that also means the strength of my heart was compromised from … The rest of the story…
Love doesn’t mean you have to be a doormat, always turn the other cheek, or simply keep your mouth shut. In fact, most of the time, if you’re doing those things, you might not love your neighbor as yourself as much as you think you do. Yeah, good news is you don’t have to keep your mouth shut. Well, not all the time anyway. … The rest of the story…
Breastmilk information and thought something like, “Huh?” Or maybe something like, “well this certainly isn’t the kind of stuff that Tony talks about much. So I better find out what’s going on in that crazy cranium of his.” Am I right? C’mon, admit it. It’s OK. Because breastmilk information ain’t exactly in my wheelhouse, as they say. But I read a post on social … The rest of the story…
