For about 10 to 12 years of my life there was only one person, in the whole world, that I saw year round. And that was my younger brother. Our parents divorced when I was about four years old. And after a couple of years they lived about 1000 miles apart. So they had to figure out a way for my brother and me … The rest of the story…

America’s first generation citizens fought some very costly battles and a war in order for you and me to be truly free. And in less than 250 years, the rest of us have managed to destroy most of that freedom. And citizens, these days, don’t even want to be truly free. They prefer the socialism we now live in (or some might say in … The rest of the story…
Man, it all goes by in the blink of an eye. I bet, if you’ve lived a few or more decades, you’ve heard somebody say something like that. Right? Yeah, me too. And we know why. Because, man, it all really does go by in the blink of an eye When I was a little boy, living with my grandparents in Norman, Oklahoma, I … The rest of the story…
He was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1970. And that happened mostly because of just one song. So, that must’ve been quite a song. Right? You got it. So good that you’ve probably sung it at least once in your life, probably way more. Can you guess which song it is? I’ll give you a hint. The words were inspired by … The rest of the story…
I just scanned two or three dozen social media posts that all sounded almost identical. And they all said something similar to this: On June 14, 1777, the Continental Congress adopted the Stars and Stripes as America’s flag. So, as of Flag Day 2025, it’s been a symbol of freedom, patriotism, and strength for 248 years. Wow, Flag Day 2025 marks nearly 2 1/2 … The rest of the story…
Faith over fear. Make that your motto. Your creed. Or the sticky note you put on your computer. Whatever works. Here’s one reason, I found in an article, about why it’s a good idea: Because faith over fear Promotes Positive Action Over Paralysis Hmm…sounds a little psychoanalytical. But here’s the rest of what they said: “Faith encourages proactive behavior and resilience. When people have … The rest of the story…
Do you hope inside your heart that there’ll be better times ahead? And maybe, despite that hope you still have a foreboding sense of dread. I’d say those are both legitimate perspectives. And I’d also say you could legitimately feel both ways at the same time. Because hope inside doesn’t manifest destiny. Yeah, the reality is you’re still a human being. So you (and … The rest of the story…
Years before Mel Gibson made a movie about it (Braveheart) I wrote a song about my freedom quest. To be clear, there were no swords, cannons, or lives lost in my quest. But it was just as important to me as it was to William Wallace. Sadly, America’s freedom quest is fading away. In fact, I don’t think it would be a stretch to … The rest of the story…
Just so you know, right up front, I don’t believe humans turn into angels when they die. Because angels are not the same kind of creation. And they’re already created. And they’ll always BE angels. You and I are already created as human beings, to be that way forever. And since we’re already created to be what we’ll always be, why this? Why would … The rest of the story…
If we could just change the heart of one gun, wouldn’t a total assault rifle ban be worth it? And, NO, that sentence doesn’t NOT contain a missing word typo. Yeah, an assault rifle ban is definitely the cure for deadly shootings. Because “woke” people say so. And if THEY say so, then it’s got to be so. Like this guy’s post I saw … The rest of the story…
