Imagine yourself deep in thought. And your thoughts seem to transport you out of your body and into the air. Then, in the blink of an eye, you realize you’re sitting in a wifi café, in the middle of a conversation with a gray-haired stranger. And the gray-haired stranger asks… “Did you think you would get here in the blink of an eye?” And … The rest of the story…
Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance. It’s all part of God’s plan. And we’re here by design. So, obviously there are no accidents in God’s plan. I agree. We’re here by design. But I disagree, or at least take issue, with ALL those other statements. We’re definitely not accidents and random chunks of meat that evolved from some primordial soup. I’ll … The rest of the story…
If you’re a fan of these following songs, just remember, diversity and tolerance. Because I’m not a fan of Free Bird, Stairway to Heaven, The Chicken Dance, The Hokey Pokey, or The Electric Slide. And, in all my years as a professional musician I never played Free Bird or Stairway to Heaven. I played recordings of those other songs at wedding receptions. But not … The rest of the story…
Do you have siblings? If so, did you ever get into arguments with them when you were kids? No, who does that, right? Seriously, if you have a brother or sister (or a bunch of them like Elgielene does), you most likely had at least a disagreement or three. And you might remember answering the “why” question with the most profound reply of all. … The rest of the story…
I wonder how many teenagers realize they’re walking, ticking timebombs. Have they seen the headline, “An Abortion Ban Made Them Teen Parents.” And do they know they could save themselves just by moving to another state? Because, for now, they might be safe in about 41 states. But who knows when an abortion ban might transform those states, too? Yeah, it could be just … The rest of the story…
Elgielene is visiting her sister this week. Because they’re gonna celebrate their birthdays (which are 2 days apart) together, along with a niece who’s birthday is the same as Elgielene’s. Normally, I wouldn’t bring it up. But yesterday two items popped up on my devices that made it seem like maybe I’m not alone. So, I quickly checked all the dozens of bedrooms and … The rest of the story…
Your safe place isn’t. Because there’s no safe place on Earth. Sure, there ARE places that, on a certain level, are safer than others. That’s just when it comes to the most violent and in-your-face crimes. But there’s nowhere on this planet that isn’t wicked. You can’t get away from it even in the small towns. And that’s where you used to be able … The rest of the story…
Back when people were way more superstitious, they made up multiple gods to worship. No, I’m not talking about yesterday. Or the 2020 elections. Even further back. Like in the “ancient times.” OK, I realize younger people might think that’s the 1980’s. But these “ancient times” were hundreds of years ago. Way back when so-called “Germanic” people created multiple gods. And the top dog … The rest of the story…
I certainly appreciate the most important things in life. I’m sure you can relate. Great computer, phone, and tablet. Several devices to watch videos and stream content. Internet access to a world so vast I’ll never see or hear it all. As a pre-teen and teenager, my family called me “technical Tony.” They didn’t always mean it as a term of endearment. But let’s … The rest of the story…
It makes me mad how some people feel a deep-down, dastardly need to rule over others. Yeah, for them, rule number one is “Do unto others before they can do unto you.” But that rule number one only lasts a little while. I know you realize we have a very short time here on planet earth. There’s a one-to-one ration of births to deaths. … The rest of the story…
