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…

Neighbor to neighbor. Sounds folksy. Easy-going. Downright neighborly. Right? Well, not so fast there, neighbor. Because it can get mighty messy in a big hurry. Have you ever heard of the neighbor to neighbor app, Nextdoor? It was apparently started so neighbors could watch out for each other. And keep in touch. And make recommendations. Sounds decent enough. But there’s one thing the app … The rest of the story…
I read an article on LinkedIn that was so incredibly stupid. And part of the stupidity is how the article was high in the feed of a platform (supposedly) focused on business. Why was the article stupid? Because it glorified black men. And that’s a huge part of the problem with so-called “social justice warriors.” They do what the claim to hate. One of … The rest of the story…
You probably remember at least one movie like this. A couple of guys constantly fight each other. Each wants to be the alpha male. And they can’t stop. Almost every scene they’re in together is either an actual physical fight or an exchange of verbal “pleasantries.” Until a powerful enemy, they both hate, shows up. Then, they have to band together to vanquish the … The rest of the story…
What if joy were against the law? Sounds crazy, I know. But play along for just a bit. And let’s pretend that somehow that kind of law was pushed through congress. What would you do? If joy were against the law, would you break it? The law that is. Would you break it? Could you break it? I believe, and I hope I’m not … The rest of the story…
Almost 6 years ago I shared a story about a bad experience I had in Erie, Pennsylvania. (Check out that story) And I talked about how it made me mad and how that inspired a song, Never Neverland. One of the lines says, “I wonder why can’t we all be friends…live and let live and share the dream.” But I didn’t pose that question … The rest of the story…
What’s my reason for being? It’s another form of the age old question. “Why am I here?” And I think it’s more than mildly ironic how logic is so coveted in a world filled with feelers. Because if whatever is right in your own mind is right, then there might not be a reason for being. You might just be happy, little cosmic accident. … The rest of the story…
OK, here’s your Tuesday morning motivation First, with a show of hands, how many of you even need some Tuesday morning motivation? How about afternoon? Or evening? Well, that’s too bad. I ain’t got none for you. Aw, just kidding. You know I wouldn’t dis you like dat. My Tuesday morning motivation is mostly for my brothers and sisters in the faith. If you’re … The rest of the story…
Double Trouble Recently I told you about the “one Gospel” found in the Bible…in Paul’s writings. But I wasn’t being completely truthful with you. Paul was, but I wasn’t. So, I’ve got double trouble for you today. Especially if you think the one Gospel Paul talked about in Galatians is the only one. I’m about to burst that bubble. (If you prefer to listen, … The rest of the story…
Let us not grow weary…even when we’re tired There’s a world of people out there who love to see Christians fail. In any way…on any day. They’re lying in wait for any stumble, misstep, or sin. You’ll notice a negative bias toward Christian failures in the news reports that just isn’t there for similar stories of a more secular nature. And that’s OK, in … The rest of the story…
