About 10 years ago I shared a short “test” to help people wrap their minds around the concept of absolute truth. And it’s so much more than a concept. But take the test. Send me your answers. And I don’t grade “on the curve.” Here are the questions from 10 years ago. And they still apply… Test your knowledge of absolute truth with these … The rest of the story…

It’s more than a little ironic. Most of the world has been forced into submission with the threat of an invisible, tiny virus. And the irony is, it illustrates how much fear is contagious. Way more than the virus could ever be. And you can bet evil men are glad fear is contagious. Because they know power and control are almost effortless with fearful … The rest of the story…
You know what the greatest human weakness is? Ironically, it’s the unwillingness to admit weakness. And I’m not talking about how much a guy can bench press. Or how much pain women can take. No, humans are unable to make life last…forever. Billions of people and still no one figures out how to get out of this life alive. And it’s not from lack … The rest of the story…
It’s pretty amazing what technology can help you do these days. For example, I’m using my iPhone as my computer to write this. And I’m typing on a small bluetooth keyboard that feels almost as good as the keyboard on my laptop. And my computer…I mean my iPhone…is propped up nicely on a little “drawer” in the dash of my mobile office (aka my … The rest of the story…
OK, let’s be positive and assume the worst That sounds like a good plan. Right? “Uh, no, Tony. It sounds negative. Not positive. And why would anybody automatically assume the worst?” Well, I’m glad you asked. Because I’m gonna toss this boomerang and see if it comes back to me. When you assume the worst in people, first, it’s safer. How many spy … The rest of the story…
Thank goodness wisdom comes with age Because I’ve got some of that, for sure. “Which one is he talking about, Marge?” Well both, of course. Since wisdom comes with age…and I’m not getting any younger…well, you get it. Right? “If wisdom comes with age, why aren’t there more wise old people, Tony?” A-ha! You see the problem. Yeah, there are a lot of old … The rest of the story…
Have you noticed how fears mount? Especially nowadays with so many more media sources. I was just making my usual trip through a couple of my news apps. And I already saw multiple headlines or subheads that included something like, “Fears mount as…” or “…amid rising fears.” Seems like lots more people are more scareder than ever. Should fears mount? Or do I even … The rest of the story…
Every life is full of ups and downs I’ve mentioned, before, how I worked hard labor during my teenage summers. No, not in prison. How could you even think that? And I’m looking at YOU when I ask that. You know who you are. Anyway…I hauled hay. In the hot, Kansas sun. Up to 18 hours for five, six, and sometimes seven days a … The rest of the story…
Since talk is cheap, I’m goin’ back to sleep It’s the wee hours of the morning. So, if I can’t make sense of this, I’m going back to sleep. Unless you’re a recent public school graduate, you probably know what the saying, talk is cheap, means. And it’s always been used, sarcastically, when someone’s skeptical of what someone else said. It sort of illustrates … The rest of the story…
Changes in attitudes changes in platitudes When I used to play music full time, a lot of my copy material was ideal for that “island feel”so many people like when they’re on vacation. As a matter of fact, my wife and I lived in Tampa, Florida for a year, and I had some regular bookings in Clearwater. Literally ON the beach. And, of course … The rest of the story…
