A river runs through it. Connect the dots. The ties that bind. And it’s a small world. However you wanna say it, there are so many interweaving threads in human life. I’d like to share a bluer than blue story with you to show you what I mean. And maybe it won’t mean a thing to you. But, to me, it clearly illustrates what … The rest of the story…
I’m not a fan of Ukraine. Or any other country in the world, at this time, for that matter. But I read a short article about how Ukrainian music is being used to pump up the people. And I listened to a couple of clips. The Ukrainian music I heard certainly sounded strong. I don’t know what the words said. But the harmonies were … The rest of the story…
You know what I’d like to see? Everybody has to work for free and everything is free. Wouldn’t that solve a lot of problems? Or maybe all of them? Or should it be just the goofy singer songwriters and other artists who should work for free? Call me crazy (yeah, crazy like a porcupine), but that doesn’t seem balanced, fair, equitable, or even sustainable to … The rest of the story…
Let’s say, for the sake of argument (<< figure of speech), that you feel like the whole world is closing in on you. And let’s say that you listen to and watch “news,” but the more you see and hear, the more confusing it is. And, finally, let’s say it all makes you feel generally cast down in this world. Here’s how a couple … The rest of the story…
Some people think there are many mysteries of life. Those people never seem to find satisfactory answers to their burning questions. I have. And it brings me everlasting comfort. Maybe you think talk about everlasting comfort is just wishful thinking. But maybe it isn’t. And when I say “maybe it isn’t,” I mean, it isn’t. I hope you’re not one of those who says … The rest of the story…
OK, here’s my one step plan to a longer, richer life. Ready? Got a pen and paper or computer handy? Here goes. Love God and live longer. Whew! Are you tuckered out? Yeah, I know…it’s a pretty grueling regimen. But you know what they say…no pain, no gain. So, if you truly wanna live a longer life, you’re gonna need to open your heart … The rest of the story…
World peace doesn’t happen because of touchy feely laws. History proves this over and over again. It doesn’t happen by taking away a person’s right to self protection. It doesn’t happen because somebody imprisons all those who disagree. And it sure doesn’t happen because some so-called “body of power” legislates it. World peace can only happen one of two ways. Everyone (yes, that’s everyone … The rest of the story…
In case you don’t know, or don’t remember, Frank Sinatra sang a song called “My Way.” That song starts with this line: “And now, the end is near and so I face the final curtain.” I’ll bet, when Frank sang those lyrics, he wasn’t actually seriously considering the end of his own life. Because, from what I’ve been able to see in his life, … The rest of the story…
On February 17, 2000 there was an auction for John Lennon’s Steinway piano. But it wasn’t just a Steinway. It was also the one he used to compose his song, “Imagine.” That vacuous, ridiculous, and delusional dive into nothingness. I think even the Steinway piano had more intelligence. “Gee whiz, Tony. Why don’t you say what you really think?” OK. John Lennon was a stupid, … The rest of the story…
Pssst…hey you. Yeah, you. C’mere. I got some valuable information…a code…and I need someone I can trust with it just in case I’m not around to get it into the right hands. Yeah, some earth-shattering things might happen real soon. And just in case they do, maybe you can use this code to help yourself and some others get out of a jam. Even if … The rest of the story…
