The pony expressed, in the rhyme I’m gonna share today, is a figment of my imagination. And just the title will make that completely obvious. Because real ponies (and horses) do real stuff. And a lot of that stuff is very tough. And, just as a reference for what real ponies and horses can do, read about these four. Yeah, you’ll never find a … The rest of the story…

Heaven holds a place for everyone who wants to live with, and love, the one true, living, loving creator of the universe. There another place for everyone else. And I recommend avoiding that place with all your heart, mind, and soul. I remember a guy who visited a church I attended in the Denver metro area years ago. As I recall, he ran a … The rest of the story…
Restful sleep is a combination of deep sleep and healthy breathing. Pretty simple, right? So why do so many people have such a hard time at night? Why don’t YOU get plenty of restful sleep? You can hear and watch a thousand different naturopaths, functional medicine practitioners, and standard western medicine doctors and you might get 1000 different answer answers to that question. Or … The rest of the story…
Today I read a few snippets of articles that talked about the value of scripture memorization when it comes to teaching kids about faith in Jesus and His word. That brought back memories of vacation Bible school in a small eastern Kansas town. The VBS teacher certainly encouraged scripture memorization. So, being the eager sort of nerd I was to show teachers and other … The rest of the story…
(this is for adults, don’t watch kiddos) One of my collections of real kids songs is called Kiddin’ Around. When it first came out, I sold a bunch of CD’s. Yes, those plastic discs that you actually had to put in a CD player to be able to hear the music. Crazy, right? The reason I call them real kids songs is real kids … The rest of the story…
Elara lived in the star-island village of Millezza (pronounced milletsa, with the accent on the et). I’m sure you never heard of her or her hometown. Because they’re located at the Northwest corner of the Milky Way Galaxy. Of course, I know you’ve heard of the Milky Way Galaxy. After all, anyone who lives on planet Earth knows our entire solar system is contained … The rest of the story…
Amelia sat by the window. And the soft glow of the evening sunset shined warm shades of orange and yellow across the nursery. As twilight settled on the crib, she hoped tonight would be different. Because her baby, Lily, had struggled with sleep for a week. But Amelia decided to try something new. She she gathered her ukulele, her songbook journal, her favorite pen, … The rest of the story…
What’s with all these hypnic jerks who bug you just when you’re drifting off to sleep. How incredibly rude! And embarrassing. Sort of. Maybe it’s just me. Have you ever had to deal with ’em as you’re drifting off to sleep? I mean, can’t they get your attention before that point? Because that’s the part of sleep that puts the La La in La … The rest of the story…
I remember learning the Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep prayer way before I “went to school.” Naturally, I didn’t get the full meaning of it, at the time. Because I was a little kid. I just loved the sound of the rhyme. “Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the Lord my soul to keep.” Did you ever learn that … The rest of the story…
It’s triple digits temps around here again. Multiple triple digits already. And multiple more to come. As a next-door neighbor used to say, “It’s brutal.” And if you don’t have the convenience of modern air conditioning, I can’t imagine you’ll rest easy when it’s 80 degrees at night. In order for me to rest easy it’s gotta be cool at night. Maybe that’s some … The rest of the story…
