Baby boomers, or boomers (spoken with great disgust in the tone of your voice, as you hear all around the Internet these days), or just too old to learn something new. Yeah, facts is facts. I mean, those must be the facts. Because there are so many brilliant young people these days who believe that. And what did they say about a lie? Oh … The rest of the story…

As long as I can remember there have been “peace talks” and “peace agreements” and “peace accords” all over the world. Trouble is…I’ve never gotten the feeling that the world is at peace. Have you noticed that? For as long as I can remember (and that’s a lot longer than it used to be) there have been wars. We’ve been fortunate here in America. … 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…
Years ago, I wrote a song called Do Something. And a few years after that I wrote another song called Do Right. Obviously they’re both about doing. And that’s because it’s crucial to be active not passive in your faith. Thankfully it’s easy to be active, not passive. And the difference it can make can be massive, not only in your life, but in … The rest of the story…
Advertisers and marketers constantly shout out the message: “be a brand new you.” But is that even possible? Well, not in the physical world. Thank God, the physical world is not all there is.

Happy Easter. And I only say that to you if you believe in the real reason this holiday (Holy-day) exists. If you don’t believe, then you can have a terrible day for all I care. “Ouch, Tony. That’s harsh.” Oh, did I write that out loud. Sorry, not sorry. OK, now that I’ve thinned out the readers, here’s a little Happy Easter backstory. A … The rest of the story…
Love, peace, and music. I wish those for you. And now, let’s get down to business. No, I’m not smokin’ any halo tobacco. It doesn’t take a dope-smokin’, long-haired, hippy freak to talk about the finer parts of life. And, while we’re on the subject, that leads me into some of the benefits of Christian music. First, there’s no cursing. Second, there’s no sex. … The rest of the story…
Have you ever paid attention to the focus factor of a mother bird on her nest? It’s a wonderment. Because birds tend to move around. A lot. And super fast. But when the mother bird is on her nest, she can be so still you almost can’t see her. I know, because there’s a small mother cardinal in a very small nest up inside … The rest of the story…
A couple of days from now I’ll be sharing a little info about my life of total leisure. But, first, I’d like to share a short blurb on the exciting, and hard-working conveyor belt. And not just any old clunky piece of machinery. This one’s from over the rainbow. You don’t need a conveyor belt to get over the rainbow. At least, not if you … The rest of the story…
Have you ever been told you’re not qualified for the job? Or have you ever just felt unqualified for a job or something else in life? It’s common. And, if you’re like most of us, your answer is yes to both questions. So, it follows that you might feel you’re not qualified to go to Heaven. I’ve certainly felt that way. Especially when I … The rest of the story…
