God created angels and butterflies. Not at the same time, mind you. And both of those creations were given the ability to fly. But, beyond that, they don’t have a lot in common. In fact, they’re just about as opposite as you can get. Because angels are powerful warriors. And butterflies are delicate insects. Did you know there are 750 species of butterflies in … The rest of the story…

I read how some Finnish, American, and British researchers (I’ll call ’em the FAB team) used a technique called sonification to “hear” how certain proteins function. Those researchers believe “listening” to proteins, and how they work, might help doctors discover and treat diseases more effectively. Sonification occurs when composed music and mathematical algorithms interconnect. Have you ever listened to Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9? That … The rest of the story…
Sunday. Monday. And just like that we go from “the biggest game of the year” or “the most spectacular sports event of the year” to ho-hum another blah blah first day of the week. Well, maybe that’s how you do it. But not me. For me, it’s Sunday Monday and every day’s a fun day. Or maybe I should say Funderday. Because it’s not … The rest of the story…
Here’s a misdemeanor definition from the dictionary on my computer: a nonindictable offense, regarded in the US (and formerly in the UK) as less serious than a felony. A nonindictable offense is one where lawyers and law-enforcement don’t “formally accuse of or charge with a serious crime.” And just to clarify a little bit more, here’s a definition of the word felony from that … The rest of the story…
I wrote this cold hard truth over 10 years ago. And it’s still true. Living on dreams is not a good strategy. Dreams require action. And action requires faith, determination, and commitment. Are your dreams good enough to put those things behind them? So if dreams require action, do you Dream The Dreams? Waking up from silly dreams Isn’t silly as it seems Because … The rest of the story…
It isn’t scientific. And it rhymes. So my book about the first 6 days of creation might not be appropriate for the intellectual Christian. But I wouldn’t be surprised if the apostle Paul would enjoy reading it. And I might even go as far as to say I don’t even think Jesus would have a problem with it. And He was the only one … The rest of the story…
Just saw pelican landing in the water yesterday. It reminded me of a short memory I shared several years ago. It went a little something like this: I remember my first ferry ride across Galveston Bay in Texas. Yes, it was a long time ago. My grandparents were visiting from Oklahoma. And my dad drove them and the rest of the family to see … The rest of the story…
Proverbs 16:16 says, “How much better to get wisdom than gold! And to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.” But it’s more fun to get gold than to get wisdom. Right? And why waste your time trying to get understanding when the price of silver is trending upwards. C’mon. Let’s be logical about this. After all, I’m sure you’ve seen the … The rest of the story…
It doesn’t matter how well you do in this life, how much you gain or lose, or even how much influence you can buy or steal. In the end, you will leave no trace anywhere on the planet. And when I say you’ll leave no trace, it’s not a figure of speech. But I guess I should clear something up. When I used the … The rest of the story…
Computing at the speed of light, but is it good? And is it right? Well, to jump on this topic, here’s a little information I read and saw in a video clip. It said: We’ve hit a wall with silicon chips. Electrons can only move so fast and that’s what limits how quickly today’s GPUs can train AI. So researchers are building optical neural … The rest of the story…
