Let’s say, for the sake of starting a conversation about it, that you’re out in your back yard with kids. And let’s say, for the sake of setting up this little scenario a little more clearly, that a flower garden is there. Now, that’s what I’d call a blessed and beautiful opportunity. And it’s a beautiful opportunity for a couple of reasons. One is … The rest of the story…

Me: “Of course I’m pro public education. Why would you want to keep education a secret?” A friend: “Actually pro public education means you’re all for public schools.” “Wait, what?! Well, of course I’m not THAT kind of pro public education!” A friend: “Whew, thank goodness. I thought you might be a closet Brandon dude.” Yeah, that’s an actual conversation on the pro public … The rest of the story…
I’ll let you know, up front, what I’m sharing with you today is based on what I said over ten years ago. And something I’ve talked about for most of my life. It’s about how you should take some time to read the Declaration of Independence. I recommend all Americans do that from time to time. A free people almost inevitably drifts toward a … The rest of the story…
Teaching methods matter. Because spongy little minds soak up what they’re taught depending how it’s taught. At least that’s how Charlotte described it. I never heard of Charlotte, or her teaching methods, before today. And that’s probably because we didn’t raise any kids here in the FunderHaus. My wife and I missed out on that blessing. But we’ve certainly seen our fair share of … The rest of the story…
I’m a freedom advocate. Have been my entire life. Because I grew up in the freest country in the world. That description barely fits America now. And information, like the blurb I’m about to share with you, where so-called “laws” advocate freedom for schools to do the most horrific things to your kids, is why I say that. Freedom for schools should never include … The rest of the story…
If you want more out of life AND more life, I’ve got 3 easy steps you can take to get it. Disclaimer: These are 3 easy steps IF you’re willing to take them. And there should be NO doubt about it. You are FREE to take these 3 easy steps or not. No one will force you take them. Not even God, in spite … The rest of the story…
God can think a new thought. And He can create an entirely new creature. Matter of fact, He could create a whole new universe AND then turn around and change His mind and decide to replace that new universe with a whole ‘nother universe. And before time began, who knows? Maybe He even did something like that. “Wait, what?! Did he say, before time … The rest of the story…
Have you ever made a rock? And how about a stick? Have you ever made one of those? Well, what about a drop of water? Surely you’ve at least made a drop of water in your life. And surely, somewhere, there’s a school science class where that has happened. Naturally, I don’t expect anyone to create a river. But surely at least one, single … The rest of the story…
I’ve said it before. A lot of times. This world is a mean, mean place. So many people wanna tell everybody else what to do, when to do it, and how to live. And they actually want to own you. Yeah, they’re just like the devil who didn’t want to obey God. He told Adam and Eve some lies to make them believe the … The rest of the story…
What if you were the only person on earth? Kinda spooky to think about isn’t it? It might make you think of movies about the last survivors on the planet. And what an awful place it would be. And that totally makes sense. Because it would be an awful place if you were all alone. You might not have to fight off zombies like … The rest of the story…
I’m not kidding you right now. This is what they said. “The Bone Bow is a Light Bow found in Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree expansion.” But the news about the Bone Bow doesn’t stop there. Here’s some more you should know. And I’ll tell you why I brought it up in a couple of minutes. “Though it may not seem particularly exciting … The rest of the story…
OK, let me tell you the story the old character in my head told me. And you can share it with your little kids. Or share it with someone who has little kids. Anyway, here it is. One morning, about three years ago. Or was it three years from now? No matter. Let me tell you what happened to Ivanto. But whatever you do, … The rest of the story…
If you’re a Henry Wadsworth Longfellow fan, you’re familiar with Gitchee Gumee. But you might not be so familiar with Michi Gami. OK, Gitchee Gumee is the American Indian name for Lake Huron. And you’re probably ahead of me now, so you realize Michi Gami is Lake Michigan. But here are some fun facts you might not already know: Lake Michigan is big. Alright, … The rest of the story…
OK, I’m gonna get a little too sciencey for the kids right now. And I’m share some info I found about the backbone of DNA. And I think it’s interesting because we all have DNA. So, it’s kinda cool to know a little bit about it. Here’s what one article said: “A phosphate backbone is the portion of the DNA double helix that provides … The rest of the story…
AI is not real. Because there is no man-made intelligence. And the word, artificial, is your first clue. There is NO such thing as artificial intelligence. So, again, AI is not real. It’s kinda like the whole “free” thing. Just a concept. But I get why people fall for it. Because when AI applications and programs provide you their almost magical, and blazingly fast, … The rest of the story…
You can go your own way. And you can call it another lonely day. You can go your own way. And if you’re a Fleetwood Mac fan or even if you’re not, but you’ve heard their music, you probably recognize those lyrics. I recently read an article/blurb about how a lot of the lyrics and songs off their bestselling album, Rumors, were the results … The rest of the story…
“I remember when you were only knee high to a grasshopper.” Did you ever go to a family reunion, when you were a kid, and hear that? I sure did. And I remember how the wacky grownups, who told me that, were also the ones who made sure there was plenty of good food and fun to be had. We’d eat fried chicken, ham … The rest of the story…
Feelings change. It’s a fact of life. That was even true when I was a young whippersnapper, all those decades ago. I remember the first time I felt like I was in love with a girl. But, later, I felt like I was in love with another girl. It happened several times. What can I say? A red-blooded American boy is a boy after … The rest of the story…
A Strawberry Moon? But where’s the strawberry? Oh great. Now, I’m craving some cold strawberry pie. Maybe I shouldn’t even have brought this up. So, why DID I bring up a strawberry moon? Because the strawberry moon is the full moon in June. And that rhymes rather nicely. According to the Almanac, Algonquin tribes, that inhabited northeastern America, used the June full moon to … The rest of the story…
It’s what selfish people do. And, for some, it’s almost like they wouldn’t tell the truth even if it sounded better. Yeah, selfish people lie. They have to lie to make themselves look and feel better than everybody around them. And they spread lies about other people to try and make those other people look bad to their friends. Then they get so used … The rest of the story…
