As an adjective, a dictionary defines it: deep purplish-red or sanguinary. And then a check on the word “sanguinary” shows this definition: full of or characterized by bloodshed; bloody – ready or eager to shed blood; bloodthirsty. Yikes!

Where do vitamins originally come from? And where does nutrition start? Food. I’ve never been able to kick the habit of eating every day. And I don’t want to. Food good. No food, bad. I’ll be the first (or second) to admit I don’t eat what’s best for me 100% of the time. Yeah, we splurge, now and then, in the FunderHaus. But we … Read the rest…

And the cup of … Read the rest…
An adult Christian man was a stupid boy on a social media channel early this morning. Because he wrote something stupid. And he writes a lot of things like this morning’s little jab.

So, I found a website about an organization called “Faith in Action.” And I don’t think those words mean what the people in that organization think they mean. Unless, of course, their faith in action is in themselves. I haven’t read their entire website. And I probably won’t ever have time to do that.
