Calculus, geometry, and trigonometry are almost impossible if you don’t first get some foundational training in basic math. And the same is true in just about every aspect of life. Because if you ain’t got the basics, you’re gonna struggle with the complex. A house is a good example of foundational training. Because any builder worth his nail apron will tell you the foundation … The rest of the story…

Oh foolish Americans. Who has hypnotized you so that you don’t even recognize the truth? And why, since you’ve known such incredible freedom, do you prefer to return to bondage? Yeah, so many foolish Americans fall for lies. Actually that’s not quite accurate. Because they willingly JUMP into the lies. And they willingly give up freedom after freedom. And it might sound counterintuitive, but … The rest of the story…
There’s no doubt about it. Haters gonna hate. But what there IS some doubt about is…who are the haters? Ironically (and woefully), it’s almost always the people who are yelling the loudest about who hates who. And here’s where the haters gonna hate me. Because I’m about to call a spade a spade. Have you ever dealt with the frustration that comes with talking … The rest of the story…
I read some clips from articles that talked about what a man wants in a wife. If you’re a happily married man, you probably already know that the consistent top answer is “a woman who is faithful to you.” Right? Because if you marry (or date) someone who isn’t faithful, even a supermodel is gonna make your life miserable. But a woman/wife who’s faithful … The rest of the story…
You can’t keep it all to yourself. In fact, if you think you can, it’s probably not in you anyway. Nope. If you want it to flourish, you’ve gotta give love away. I read this great quote from C.S. Lewis. He talked about how you’ve gotta be willing to be vulnerable if you’re gonna love. He said, “To love at all is to be … The rest of the story…
There are lots of gods in this world. There’s the one who currently rules our planet (hint: it’s not Jesus). And then there are all the even smaller ones that most of the world worship. One day they’ll all be swept away by the one Who remains. The One and only One. Have you noticed how America isn’t quite the place it used to … The rest of the story…
Everybody loves those worst to first stories. Like this young woman who took her relay team from last place to first place with an amazing run… That girl was nothing short of amazing. There might have been two or three people in the whole crowd who believed she could do what she did. But it’s likely almost no one thought she could pull … 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…
There’s nothing like roses to remember what’s important. And what’s important? Truly important. Everlastingly important. I’ll give you a hint in this link. It’s the last word in the sentence. I’ve mentioned, before, how I was a singer songwriter in Nashville back in 1992-93. I spent a lot of nights on stages around the city in what they called “songwriters in the round.” And … The rest of the story…
Love is greater than the stupid hater. And I need to clarify that assertion. Because I’m not saying that everyone who hates is stupid. At least, not all the time. And I still need to clarify. Because this whole “hate is bad” thing is so discombobulated nowadays that people have completely lost the ability to hate correctly. Uh-oh. Is that an open can of … The rest of the story…
