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, forklifts, tractors, motorcycles, all … The rest of the story…

When you peer deep into the world of microscopic life, it almost looks like science fiction. But it’s definitely non-fiction. And the story, of life, going on down there, was written by a brilliant author. Yes, there IS a story to even the microscopic life. Because it’s life. And there is NO life without a story. Because life requires information. I remember, way back … The rest of the story…
Is it too much trouble to ask politicians to just shut up and stop tryin’ to fix things that ain’t broke? Yeah, some of my Texas slang grammar is rearin’ up. But dagnabit, I’m serious. Can’t they just shut up?! And is it too much trouble for them to just leave us alone? It’s like they just ain’t happy ‘less they’re meddlin’ in your bizness. … The rest of the story…
Wow. I found this description of a waning crescent moon on a university website. “John the Baptist is sometimes connected with the waning moon (Baptisry of Östr Hoby, Sweden, 12c) to explicate his role as the last prophet of the waning Old Testament which is regarded, simultaneously, as a promise of the New Testament. The moon contrasts here the sun as symbol of fulfillment, … The rest of the story…
I’m not sure I would have left my love for the drums if he hadn’t existed. Because, I’ve always really loved playing the drums. But then I heard some catchy hit songs on the radio. And then my brother gave me an album as a high school graduation gift. And suddenly my musical desires marched to a different drum. And that different drum was … The rest of the story…
I saw an article that said “imagination is everything.” That’s so wrong. And it sends a deceptive message. Especially to little kids. And even to teens for that matter. To say imagination is everything is like claiming it as your god. “Oh now, c’mon Tony. Really? You really believe that?” Yeah. I do. I can’t say your kid’s life will be completely better because … The rest of the story…
Imagine somebody who could conjure up designs for the universe and everything in it. And now imagine somebody who could get it all built in only six days. This doesn’t sound like some ordinary person. Right? The sun, moon, and stars. Animals. Birds. Fish. Reptiles. And…oh yeah, human beings. Yeah. God is definitely no ordinary person. Surely I don’t have to tell you that. All … The rest of the story…
He’s THE good Father. The only good Father. And He’s the foundational reason I can hear music in the morning. So, if He says “the purpose of the commandment is Love,” then so it is. And love is new in the morning. So, every morning is an opportunity to show love to your family, friends, and (Dare I say it? Yes, I dare.) even … The rest of the story…
What’s that expression? Everything old is new again. Yeah…I’m gonna have to disagree. Because even as we’re in just the second day of a new year, 2022, the world is still spewing out the same old junk. Hate, willful ignorance, intolerance disguised as tolerance. You know, fun stuff like that. So, everything old is still old. There’s nothing new about people thumbing their noses … The rest of the story…
Ball of Fire was a hit movie, a romantic comedy, back in 1941. And it starred Gary Cooper and Barbara Stanwyck. Mr. Cooper played an academic who, with several other, older academics, withdrew from the outside world in pursuit of knowledge. Ms. Stanwyck played the girlfriend of a gangster. I really enjoyed the movie. And there was a remake a few years later called … The rest of the story…
