I read an article that talked about how Franklin Graham couldn’t understand why Joe Biden said what he said. Actually, that Joe didn’t say something he should’ve said. Apparently Mr. Biden left God’s name out of a so-called “proclamation” on America’s national day of Prayer. And Mr. Graham said, “This is a National Day of Prayer. Of course we need to call on God … Read the rest…

I remember, learning about Halloween for the first time, as a little kid. And that’s back when we went “trick or treating” for fun and candy. My first few Halloween costumes were your basic innocent kid types. Casper the friendly ghost. Cowboy. Pirate. You get the picture. And I think there’s still a lot of the innocent kid stuff out there. But the vast … Read the rest…
I watched a well-made movie, starring Robert Duvall, the other night. And he’s a very good actor who can keep you engaged.

There’s no one pushing buttons making me do what I do each day. Good stuff or bad. I can choose to do bad. And then turn right around and choose not to. Whichever … Read the rest…
“Hey! Shut up! Don’t lie to me. You think I’m blind. But I’ve got eyes to see.” Yeah, a lot of what’s going on in America reminds me of those first couple of lines from Bonnie Raitt’s song “Have a Heart.” And I know it’s not a direct correlation, but it’s how my Rhyme and Reason brain works. It connects that rhyme and those … Read the rest…
“God is in control.” And “God’s got this.” Or how about, “Just gotta remember it’s all part of God’s plan, so wait for His perfect timing.” If you’ve been saying any of those things…or anything that sounds like them, then I gotta say, “Stop saying that.” You gotta stop saying that because it’s not true. And when you keep saying things like that, you … Read the rest…
