Sleepiness is something I have to deal with a lot more of during my recovery process. Over the course of my life napping didn’t interest me. Because it always felt like a waste of good daylight. But, as it turns out, napping has become a necessity. Yikes! Because sleepiness has become a frequent, almost relentless visitor. Here’s a snippet of … The rest of the story…
Molotov cocktails. And my original music. What do they have in common? Boulder, Colorado. Maybe you already read about that terrorist in Boulder Colorado today. He actually tossed Molotov cocktails into a crowd and burned people. And if we had an actual justice system in America, he would be put to death early tomorrow morning. But don’t hold your breath … The rest of the story…
A wise man once wrote “For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come.” Yeah, no amount of bodily exercise can prepare you for that which is to come. But the good news is that which is to come is WAY … The rest of the story…
Note: the last podcast episode said it was number 995. But it was actually 994. And this episode is actually 995. OK, back to your regularly scheduled whatever it was you were doing before I interrupted you. Mindfulness is the cognitive skill, usually developed through meditation, of sustaining metacognitive awareness towards the contents of one’s own mind in the present … The rest of the story…
I did some reading earlier today about this fatigue feeling I’ve experienced since that fateful day, last month, when my personal fuel injector went a little haywire. There are times when I feel like I REALLY need a nap. And, over the course of my life, I haven’t been what you would call a napping kind of guy. So, I’ve … The rest of the story…
One day you’re imagining and planning out your multitude of great ideas. Then, a stroke. And suddenly you’re calculating where your left foot needs to go next.

Yes, miracles are real. And I believe God can manifest one anytime He wants or desires. Are you with me so far? Well, get ready to jump off this train. Because I’m about to make a stop where many, if not most, Christians (and pretty much everybody else) don’t wanna go. Miracles are real. But God isn’t using them right … The rest of the story…
If this was an article for a health and wellness client, I couldn’t actually say food is medicine. In order to protect my client from lawsuits and such, I would have to say “food can be medicine.” But since I’m sharing my own opinions, I can say food is medicine. Yeah, don’t get too excited. Because that doesn’t mean ALL … The rest of the story…
A few years ago I visited a functional medicine doctor. And he suggested some biomarker testing. In particular, a blood test, known as the A1C or HA1C. Because he wanted to take a closer look at what might be going on in my blood. Of course, after the recent turn of events in my health, I recalled some of the … The rest of the story…
The old expression says “the means justify the ends.” But I’m here to tell you that just ain’t true. Not when it comes to stealing other people’s money. And stealing other people’s money is the means your government uses to carry out your so-called “good intentions.” I heard Milton Friedman say it like this: “Bad means corrupt good intentions.” Now, … The rest of the story…
No, I haven’t taken up golfing. So, the one stroke I speak of is the kind of stroke you don’t wanna get even once. But on April 17, yeah, just last month, I had one sneak up on me and knock me down pretty hard. That one stroke, put me in the ICU and rehab for three weeks. It’s one … The rest of the story…
Resurrection Day 2025. And no matter what the weather is like where you are, the Light of Life shines as brightly as ever.

It’s Wednesday. So, you know what I’m thinkin’ about. No, not burgers. Well, not JUST burgers. I’m also thinkin’ about being a wise guy. And I know you’ve heard what the first step is. Right? Yeah, wisdom is knowing when to speak. Well, that’s what “they” say. But I say, wisdom is also knowing when NOT to speak. Here’s an … The rest of the story…
1977. I remember that year like it was, well, day before yesterday. But it was almost 50 years ago. Wow. And that’s the year NASA launched Voyager 1 into space. And that little spaceship is still traveling through space. In fact, I just read a cool, short blurb about it. The headline said… Voyager 1: A Time Capsule Still Exploring … The rest of the story…
It sounds silly when you say it out loud over and over. Try it. Gimme Gimme Gimme. In case you’re not familiar with what the word is (I can only imagine who wouldn’t be), it’s pronounced like you’re saying give me, but in a fast, slang way. Clear? Good. Now, Gimme Gimme Gimme what’s mine. And what’s yours is mine. … The rest of the story…
There I was again. A very young boy in a trance. Or that must’ve been how it looked to any adults who might’ve watched me when it happened. But it wasn’t a trance. It was just me, fascinated with the tiny particles I believed I could see. Maybe I was just affected by the numbers 3 6 9. As in, … The rest of the story…
30 thousand miles, added to the odometer of my new ‘73 Ford Maverick, in one year. And that’s a lot of miles for a guy whose drive to work was only about a mile and a half. But it’s also a lot of other stuff. A lot of miles, memories, and consonants and vowels I racked up so much more … The rest of the story…
It was over a dozen years ago. And I asked the question if ebooks online would take the place of traditional books. Back then, I said… ~ I don’t think so. Not very soon anyway. Why?
