You could call me a digital pamphleteer. And I wouldn’t challenge you to a duel. Because it’s a good, although partly old-fashioned, description. Now, I should tell you I hadn’t heard of the word “pamphleteer” before I read a little biographical information about Thomas Paine. He, of course, is the originator of the phrase we use, “No Paine, No Gain.” And pamphleteer means someone … The rest of the story…
There are different ideas about where the phrase originated. Face the music. But most people know it means you’re gonna have to deal with the consequences of your actions. Yeah, do bad stuff, and you’re gonna have to face the music. But whether you do a lot of bad stuff or just a little, you’re still gonna have to deal with the consequences of … The rest of the story…
Media outlets share climate change facts that are totally unbiased. And they’re 100% accurate. Oops. I skimmed back and re-read what I just wrote. I’ll have to edit out those typos when I get a chance. Because they’re the opposite of true. And you remember what the opposite of true is. Right? False. But who cares if the information presented is true or false. … The rest of the story…
I just read a headline that said, “Pacific Northwest cities shatter heat records again, life grinds to a halt” And if that could be true, then the Pacific Northwest would certainly be the place for life to grind to a halt. But, somehow, I just can’t see business owners, who actually need to make a living for their families, just grind to a halt. … The rest of the story…
There’s a candy bar named after it. The center of the candy bar is made up of something called nougat (like newgut…not nugget). But this isn’t about the candy bar. I’m talkin’ about what it’s named after. And, of course, that’s the Milky Way Galaxy. Both the candy bar and the galaxy have a “chocolate” coating. Well, sort of. The candy bar is coated … The rest of the story…
🎶 People get ready. There’s a train a-coming. You don’t need no baggage. You just get on board. All you need is faith to hear the diesels humming. Don’t need no ticket. You just thank the Lord. 🎶 Yeah, those are lyrics to the old Curtis Mayfield song, “People Get Ready.” And there’s a lotta word power goin’ on in that song. When The Impressions had a hit with that … The rest of the story…
Yes, God does have a plan. A MasterPlan. But He most definitely does not have a plan for your day. As I’ve said many times…He’s far too brilliant a designer than to create a bunch of humans who can’t do anything apart from Him. So, if you’ve been one of those Christians who says things like, “I’ve just got to remember, God’s in control,” … The rest of the story…
Nikola Tesla was an interesting guy. No doubt. And he’s represented, a lot, around here in the shadow of Pike’s Peak. Because he actually lived and worked in the Colorado Springs area for a little while. And recently I read some excerpts from what are known as the “Tesla papers.” Yes, he was an interesting guy. Still is I guess. Some snippets from the … The rest of the story…
In college I had a roommate, Rick. And he was a nice guy. We got along fine. But I think he could sleep through a tornado. And an example of what I mean is also one of the biggest reasons I hate the song, Free Bird, by Lynrd Skynrd. If you haven’t heard it, do yourself a favor, and don’t. Unless you’ve got 5 … The rest of the story…
Ahoy mates. I hope you be in a good mood for a yarn. A tale as big as the biggest creature in all the world. Ay, that’s right. We be talkin’ ’bout the whale. But not just any whale. This be the mighty Moby Dick. But this’ll be no free ride for ye. Not by a long stretch. Ay, you’ll be tendin’ to first … The rest of the story…
