Merry Christmas. And I hope you have an awesome New Year’s Eve and 2023. Here’s a Christmas song I wrote that I believe is a good message for any and all days of the year. (lyrics are in the video … Read the rest
It’s the one day of the year when the world is as close to peace on Earth as we’re gonna get. And even then, it’s light years away from true peace on Earth. So, how’s that for starting out with … Read the rest
I thoroughly loved a couple of headlines I saw, this week, from The Babylon Bee. Actually I saw several. But these two tie in nicely with the Christmas Spirit song I’m sharing today. One headline said, “Hallmark Researchers Say They … Read the rest
I’m biased (and also right) about this. Music makes us human. And “scientists” agree with me. So, there. OK, I’ll drop the attitude and share some gratitude. But there IS a lot of evidence that music makes us human. No, … Read the rest
Cowboys and ranch hands ain’t the only ones who have to mend some fences once in a while. Regular guys who say the wrong thing (yes, it happens) need a good way to do that with their wives or girlfriends, … Read the rest
One hundred and nineteen years ago, today, at approximately 10:35 in the morning, a couple of guys became household names. Well, it didn’t actually happen immediately. But once they did what they did, they were never gonna be forgotten. Because … Read the rest
Tomorrow is not the time to start something new. Because tomorrow is a concept. Because humans need that concept to help us understand the flowing of time. And even though it helps to include tomorrow in your understanding of time, … Read the rest
Visionaries dream. And the best visionaries understand the need for dreams to change, to ebb and flow. But they also know how the dreams that remain can make the world a better place. Take this one for example. A well-known … Read the rest
I love the Logos 10 software package on my MacBook Air M1. And it’s the Bible app of choice I keep at the top left of my iPhone Home screen. Because, right from the opening, it’s a great way to … Read the rest
The most serious issue facing our nation and the world isn’t fiscal. It’s physical. And it isn’t gun control or rock-n-roll. It’s mind control and your very soul. The most serious issue this world faces starts in the heart (which … Read the rest
You fell for it. And you did what had to be done. “They” said it’s YOUR choice. And you certainly made it. So, after you fall for a choice, like this, what’s left? Well, a glorious life filled with endless … Read the rest
Katy, bar the door. Because I’m gonna share some truth from a Russian. (gasp!) Yeah, you read that right. I found the one Russian who was understood truth and actually shared it. And I don’t want anyone leaving till everyone … Read the rest
Here’s another one of those connections I mentioned recently. This time it’s a very slight connection between the ten lords a leaping you’re hearing everywhere you go right now, and a poet. He’s not the poet who wrote “ten lords … Read the rest
I can make the connections from some quirky directions sometimes. They’re not always important. And often they’re probably only interesting to me. This might be one of those times. But a couple of unrelated articles connected in the eccentric region … Read the rest
God made trees. Sure, I’m stating the obvious. But the obvious isn’t so obvious to the oblivious. So, even if you don’t believe the Bible, I have poetic proof of God’s hand in the creation of trees. First, did you … Read the rest
2022 has been a mighty fast year. I mean, it’s difficult to think it’s already three weeks from yesterday till Christmas. Of course, it’s not like you don’t see evidence for Christmas for literally months in advance. It’s just so … Read the rest
Today is particularly appropriate to share something I wrote 9 years ago about the gift of life. And I’m not sure who needs to read or hear this. But if it’s you, let me know so we can be glad … Read the rest
A long, catchy melody line is a thing of beauty. And, for the most part, it’s a thing of the past. Pop music, in almost every genre, tends to seek out a vowel and repeat it over and over these … Read the rest
So, grass fed beef, chicken, pork, etc. is better for you. Agreed? Whether you do or not, why would anyone make that claim? And what kind of proof does anyone have that it’s true? Well, there’s a ton of grass … Read the rest
