You might know some bad renters stories. Or you’ve heard some. Right? I could certainly tell you some that come from my time as a handyman. Yikes! It’s awful how awful people can be to someone else’s property. Like the bad renters who took a sledgehammer to the toilets and sinks.

Elias was a carpenter, a building contractor, and a farmer. He moved his family to Kansas City, Missouri way back in the early 1900’s, and gave up the farming part. In Kansas City he bought a paper route and got his sons to help him deliver the papers. And they got to learn to deal with the discomfort and pain that went with that … The rest of the story…
We live in a world gone mad. Mad, I tell you! A world where people will say, with a straight face (inverted pun intended) that there are more than only two genders. And some will go so far as to say there’s really no way to know just how many genders there are. If you say there are only two genders, you’re a hater. … The rest of the story…
As I write this, it’s officially the first day of December. The first day of the last month. And I gotta say, so far so good. I hope it’s off on a high step for you. If you’re not sure yet, I have some words that might help. I saw this quote, by Dr. Seuss, about the first day of December. And being a … The rest of the story…
If you’re a Christian, you know accidents happen. Right? Especially when Jesus, Himself, said they happen. And, by definition, miracles are rare. So, a baby isn’t a miracle. And things DO happen by chance. Again, Jesus, Himself, said they do. If you disagree that accidents happen, this might flip your lid. Here’s a tough one, even for Christians. God does NOT hold this world … The rest of the story…
Well, tomorrow (as I write this) is THE thankful Thursday of the year here in America. Aka: Thanksgiving. Now, I think that many think that thankful Thursday isn’t theistic thanks. But maybe I’m just thickheaded about it. And maybe it’s just a thoughtless theory. But I don’t think so. (whew, thank goodness I don’t have a writing lithsp…oh no, looks like I do) Anyway… … The rest of the story…
Several, if not most or all, search engines use something they call “predictive search” as you type in something you wanna find. And it’s actually pretty handy. For example, I started typing “nature is…” and one of the first results that showed up in the dropdown of my browser was “nature is healing.” And, in a way, nature is healing. So, that’s cool.

Here we are in the last days of Autumn for 2024. They say history repeats itself. And it occurred to me, this morning, how often that’s so true. 50 years ago I experienced the last days of Autumn just up the road. Right here in the “flatland,” the heart of the heartland. Also known as Kansas. Yeah, I was in Manhattan back then. I’ve … The rest of the story…
The vast majority of American people sure have a lot of socialist beliefs. And the saddest part of that claim is that most of them would argue that it’s just not true. I’m not gonna say that Wikipedia is a completely trustworthy source of truth. But here’s a snippet of what I found there. “The United States spends approximately $2.3 trillion on federal and … The rest of the story…
I’ve shared, a few times here on TonyFunderburk.com, how music can be good for your brain. And I’ve also talked about how music is good for heart healing. Like when I shared this info from a heart healing article: It said, “a study from Wisconsin evaluated 45 patients who had suffered heart attacks within the previous 72 hours.” I didn’t see a link to … The rest of the story…
