I love wordplay. I love alliteration. And I love juxtaposed metaphors and impossible phraseology. I love working with words. And I love the one true, living, loving, creative God who gave me the language I can manipulate. Take a word like – Phoenix. In English, it’s not pronounced at all like it looks. How cool.

Of course, I don’t know about you, on this subject, but I know when I was a kid. I certainly would’ve enjoyed more unschooling activities. And I say more because I actually did enjoy a lot of unschooling activities. The problem was they were at home. But I still had to go to school. For actual school activities and curriculum. Yeah, I am, as … The rest of the story…
I remember a guy named Mike who took issue with my Christian faith. And he let me know that on my Facebook page. He’s an example of something that goes on probably every hour of every day. The very people who preach tolerance and diversity are almost always the ones who love to pick fights with, and have no tolerance for, Christians. Why? Because … The rest of the story…
Every day has challenges. And challenges don’t play favorites. They happen to the rich and poor, the beautiful and ugly, the short and tall, the fat and thin, and the old and young.

Because it’s encouraging to see more parents picking up on the despicable things being regurgitated in public schools. I found this homeschool inspiration in a blurb on X. The info is about Colorado, where I was born and lived for decades. … The rest of the story…
You can’t live without love. Oh sure, you can exist. But you can’t live. And your existence will be an exercise in futility at best…or a dark. lonely place at worst. Why go there, when it’s so easy to just let love live? So how do you let love live? You nurture it, watch it grow, and give it away as much as you … The rest of the story…
Just because some authoritative power makes a rule doesn’t make the rule a good one, a just one, or a fair one. In fact, many rules, policies, and laws are downright bad. But you gotta think and ponder and examine to know which rules are good and which are bad. Before you decide to break rules you’d better be sure you’re on the right … The rest of the story…
You may believe what the talking heads on TV say, but I don’t. They can’t even get the weather right most of the time, so why would we think they can get human idiosyncrasies right? I know why they can’t (or don’t) get things right. It boils down to a principal thing, a 6 letter word… Wisdom! It’s the principal thing. It’s the main … The rest of the story…
Ken had a very nagging feeling that just wouldn’t leave him alone. Right after he had his coffee each morning he’d start to stress about his ideas. As he was having his bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit something would scurry across his mind and sort of punch him in the ear. Then, as he finished his shower and headed out the door to work, … The rest of the story…
The Apostle Paul’s words in 1 Corinthians 16 sound more like a letter to friends than at other parts in 1 Corinthians. You can read of his plans, suggestions, and observations. And he exhorts the Corinthians to… watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong Let all that you do be done with love Paul mentioned love and strength together. If you … The rest of the story…
