OK, so I’m gonna preach a little bit. So, if you’d rather not subject yourself to that, fair warning. Close your eyes, ears, email, or computer and move on. If you’re still here, here I go. You’ve seen ’em. On TV. And on the internet. Those guys who lay their healing hands on people and miraculously heal them. You’ve seen … 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 … The rest of the story…
A so-called M.D. made another ridiculous post on LinkedIn. Remember, as I mentioned before, this is supposed to be a business “social” network. So, these kinds of posts illustrate some of the ginormous damage done to Americans through government education. And that damage done leads to much worse damage. And the consequences are eternal. So, you can bet your Creator … 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 … The rest of the story…
It’s difficult to find more heartbreaking stories than those about the death of babies at birth. Or shortly before or after. And I’m sure you either know someone who’s experienced the loss or you have your own story. But here’s one of those heartbreaking stories that’s even worse. Because this story shows a total inability to think things through. A … The rest of the story…
You bought the lie. You did the same thing millions of others, in your situation, did. And you chose yourself over the life of an unborn baby. And you figured it would all be over once “it” was over. But has that proved to be true? Was it all “they” pumped it up to be? How is your life after … The rest of the story…
I bet you can remember this dialogue from “Back To The Future.” Doc tells Marty, “If we don’t fix this, you may never get back home!” And Marty answers, “Whoa, Doc, this is heavy!” Then, Doc, being a logical thinker, replies, “Weight has nothing to do with it, Marty.” Fun stuff. Back when they still made movies to be fun. But I didn’t bring … 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 … The rest of the story…
Can you think up a song of joy to sing or whistle or hum when things don’t go well? Do you look up and keep your eyes on the Prize even on the bad days? Or do you let your circumstances dictate your actions? Is your joy based on you and your physical possessions? I hope your answer is “no.” … The rest of the story…
Ask yourself this question right now. “Am I doing right now?” Pardon me? What’d you say? You think it doesn’t sound like a question. Oops. You’re kinda right. I forgot one little swoop of punctuation. I meant to say, ask yourself this question: “Am I doing right, now?” And if you are, ask yourself why. Yeah, you read that right. … The rest of the story…
For those who are loved and appreciated, mothers live on far past their time here on Earth. Today, May 8, 2022, marks the second Mother’s Day without my own mom to call. She died about 90 days before last year’s Mother’s Day. But she lives on in the memories of those of us who love her. I’m sure your mothers … The rest of the story…
Joel Osteen is a fool. He’s not the only fool. Not by a long shot. But he’s one of the biggest. Because he’s in charge of one of the biggest churches in America. And he’s telling (translate that to selling) lies. And one of the biggest lies is found in the title of his “bestselling book,” Your Best Life Now. … The rest of the story…
News alert! Equality is a myth. You and I are not equal. And no one else is your equal either. Or mine. And we will never be equal. NEVER. And that’s not a bad thing. I’ve worked a lot of different jobs in my time here on planet Earth. The one vocation that stuck was singer songwriter. I’ve driven trucks, … The rest of the story…
In all my years as a singer songwriter I’ve maintained a general sense of optimism. And I believe you could ask anyone who knows me, and they’d say I definitely love life. But, I wonder why so many singer songwriters nowadays are so full of angst. I’m not saying they don’t have a good reason. I just wonder why so … The rest of the story…
When it comes to living a full life, you gotta believe in something. And you gotta begin to live it. And keep going. Of course, you can also simply give up. That’s always an option, too. When you keep going after life, you WILL get knocked down. But you get up and go again. That’s not failure. But giving up…yes…that’s … The rest of the story…
(Dateline: February 12, 2022) OK, I’m gonna share a little circular vs linear logic with you. And to illustrate (sort of) the point, let’s travel back in time, almost 30 years, to the release of “The Lion King.” Stay with me, and I’ll explain why I’m bringing it up. That movie is clueless about the importance of circular vs linear … The rest of the story…
She was born in the late 1930’s. A time when America was in the worst depression it had ever seen (at least up to that point). And she witnessed a lot of changes in the American life during her lifetime. Not to mention all the technology…which she DID mention fairly often. She told me she didn’t necessarily like where the … The rest of the story…
You’re a person. Yes YOU! And you’ve always been, and always will be, a person. From your biological beginning to your natural death. And beyond if you choose well. So, get wise. And choose well. Because, if you’re reading this, you have the luxury of choice. But millions of other persons never got that choice. And do you know why? … The rest of the story…
This is a short story that leads up to the happiest birthday ever for someone I know. 1938. It was a cold day in January. In rural Oklahoma. FDR was in the first year of his second term as president of the U.S. And a second daughter was born to a young couple named Lee and Syona. But it was … The rest of the story…
This is something interesting I found out a little while ago. On this date, December 27, way back in 2005 an announcement came out that ‘Crazy Frog’ by Axel F was the best selling UK ringtone of that year. You might be asking, “Why are you talkin’ about a ring tone, Tony?” And the short answer is, “Why not?” But Ring … The rest of the story…
