It’s Monday, as I write this. But today marks a sad day that happened 14 years ago. It was sad for those who had to say goodbye. But my guess is, it was a glorious day for one person. And … Read the rest
Huey shared the news back in the 80’s. Jennifer Rush wrote about it back in 1984. And Céline Dion repeated Jennifer’s message in 1994. That message was about the power of love. And people evidently were open to the idea. … Read the rest
The butterfly effect and chaos theory originated in hopeless minds. There. I said it. And it’s up to you to convince me I’m wrong. Otherwise, I’m right. But just because those minds were hopeless doesn’t mean there’s not an infinite … Read the rest
It’s so sad that so many people believe you can kill a little boy or girl just because of how they look or where they live. And I mean the very youngest boys and girls. The most innocent boys and … Read the rest
Habitual liars just make up stuff as they go along. I think we can all agree on that. Right? But what we might not agree on are the lies. Most everyone who subscribes to my blog, emails, FunderCast, YouTube channel, … Read the rest
When I led the praise and worship music, at a church in the greater Denver area, I made sure to include old hymns. Because so many of those “old songs” have such meaningful depth. And one of them has remained … Read the rest
Kana Watanabe woke up that particular Tuesday morning in a particularly excited mood. She dressed quickly, gulped down a small helping of tamagoyaki and white tea, and rushed out the door. This was no ordinary morning. Today she was going … Read the rest
When I was a mere lad, back in the ol’ country (America, pre-lamebrainian era), the only people who had tattoos were some servicemen and hardcore bar rats. And you just didn’t see the average Joe or Jane with that “unspeakable” … Read the rest
The world (defined as all the people and their cultures) would have you (translate: now force you to) believe you live on a sacred Earth. And they’d prefer you didn’t disparage, in any way, the god they worship. And that’s … Read the rest
T shirt ideas have consequences. Especially if “people are offended” by what the shirt says. And I mention this because of a video someone shared on a social media channel. The short description, for the video, said, “I automatically assumed … Read the rest
Do you feel like you live in a mighty strange world. If you believe this world, and all living things, were created instead of manipulated by chance, you probably do. At least I hope so. I do. This is a … Read the rest
Today, America is a messed up vision. A shadow of its former somewhat shadowy self. Because right and wrong is a concept blurred by propaganda. And good and bad are now in the “eye of the beholder.” So, those who … Read the rest
Over 1400 words. A guy wrote a parking spot rant, uh, article, that long, about how to park in one. So, it would appear he’s taken a fairly passionate stand on this grave issue our nation faces. Until that rant, … Read the rest
I remember how much I enjoyed learning about axioms and idioms in school. And the short explanation was simple to remember. Axiom: general rule of thumb. Idiom: an accepted expression. And as I hear about (because I don’t watch) the … Read the rest
My wife became a certified health coach several years ago. And one of the key things her instructor mentioned, that hit home with me, was that self care is the best healthcare. There’s a ton of rhyme and reason to … Read the rest
Every day is a new day. And yet, the first day of 2023 is unique. Every January 1st brings a new year. So this year’s starting point isn’t all that unique. But it was the most important day and new … Read the rest
I remember sitting in my mom’s living room, with headphones on, listening to Jim Croce’s album, “You Don’t Mess Around With Jim.” The title song, about a bar fight, was a hit. But another hit on the album was, “Time … Read the rest
Favor and grace sound favorable and gracious to me. But maybe I’m just being too literal. And maybe those words aren’t conducive to your ability, or willingness, to sharing information about eternity. And maybe I should clarify why I’m bringing … Read the rest
Candace Cameron Bure (last name rhymes with purée…and that sounds a bit like hooray) recently took a stand. No, not in a court of law. But it sure was in the court of public opinion. And opinions were mostly positive … Read the rest
