I’ve talked about it before. But something popped up, online, this morning, that brought back a good and sad memory. And it’s about sticks. But not just any kind. I’m talkin’ about Pick Up Sticks. A game that used to be popular with kids before technology took the soul out of games. Anyway… Back to the memory. My brother and I used to ride … The rest of the story…

Even if this video I’m sharing with you didn’t have subtitles, I’m sure you’d pick up on the powerful love this Thai woman has for her family. Keep in mind, this video is a commercial. From a lingerie company. Yeah, that’s right. I’m sharing a lingerie video ad. And it’s not a case of me using sexy stuff to get you to tune in … The rest of the story…
How much grass have you eaten lately. NO, I didn’t ask how much you smoked, you knucklehead. And I’m not an advocate of grazing out in your yard. But I bring it up because there are apparently some chlorophyll benefits to eating grass. Well, to eating greens, that is. And when I mention chlorophyll, I mean that green pigment, present in all green plants … The rest of the story…
I just want you to know I’m wishing you all the best today. Because I know you’re going through a lot. And I know it can sometimes feel like you’re being tested every day. So, yeah. I’m wishing you all the best. Doesn’t it make you feel a whole lot better when someone’s tells you that? And don’t all your cares and troubles seem … The rest of the story…
If I talked to carnations, or lilacs, or even lilies of the valley (and I don’t, in spite of what you might’ve heard), I’d probably say something clever like, “You must’ve been scent from above.” And that’s because there’s nothing like a good pun to get a conversation rolling. Yeah, “scent from above” is a pun. Not a typo. And now that this conversation … The rest of the story…
Just so you know, right up front, I don’t believe humans turn into angels when they die. Because angels are not the same kind of creation. And they’re already created. And they’ll always BE angels. You and I are already created as human beings, to be that way forever. And since we’re already created to be what we’ll always be, why this? Why would … The rest of the story…
Nine years ago I wrote that we live in “particularly dangerous times.” And I’m happy to report that the worst has blown over and you’re safe once again. Go back to your daily routine without worry. And without fear. But remember to thank your government for keeping you covered. Because, without its benign benevolence and actuated authority, I hesitate to think where we’d be. … The rest of the story…
Remember those AT&T commercials where a man sat at a small table and asked some kids if doing two things is better than doing one. Then, he watched the kids and their reactions. And their funny comments and movements. And it made me think I’ve always enjoyed creating two things for kids. Words. And Music. I’ve always been that way with kids. I love … The rest of the story…
I’ve seen and heard so many wackadoos talk about the “trans community” as if the rest of the world is supposed to accept them as a “normal” thing. Or they call on each other to stand up for the “trans family.” Because, these days, most people don’t even know what a family is. Sadly, even Christians give the “trans community” almost total impunity. And … The rest of the story…
Imagine you’re a 5 year old girl. No, you’re NOT a trans freak 5 year old girl. An actual 5 year old girl. And imagine a doctor tells your parents you have sickle-cell anemia. Then, by age 11, you get so sick your parents move to another country just so you can get a bone transplant from your brother. And, at 13, doctors decide … The rest of the story…
