Have you noticed how bad news travels fast? How does that happen? Short answer, of course, is…people. Because people tend to have itching ears. And dark hearts. And bad news travels fast from hearts to ears and back to hearts. It’s a vicious cycle. Fortunately it’s far from a hopeless situation. At least for some people. Good news is even gooder when bad … The rest of the story…

Speaking into the air doesn’t work. Here’s a childhood memory to illustrate why speaking into the air is an exercise in futility. And I hope I remember this correctly.

You’re running out of time I’ve mentioned, before, how my Dad was a runner. And he was a health nut before being a health nut was cool. He bought a juicer over 50 years ago. And I remember being the only kid in our house who enjoyed the juices he and my step-mom would make. Plus, Dad would buy produce and baked goods from … The rest of the story…
“Why is love so hard?” Wow. I’ve heard that question so many times. In real life. And in movies, tv shows, and talk shows. But most people who ask, why is love so hard, actually don’t have a clue what love is. So, it’s only an empty concept. And they never reap the benefits of true love. Maybe you do amazing things and still … The rest of the story…
Life makes sense Nuh-uh. Uh-huh. Does not. Does, too. You’re dense. No, you’re dense. Ha! I’m rubber. And you’re glue. Bounces off me. And sticks to you. Oh yeah! Well, you’re stupid to infinity. Too late. That bounces off me and sticks to you. Oh yeah! Yeah! Well, you don’t even remember what I said. Yes, I do. You said life makes sense. And … The rest of the story…
Time fills the space so there’s no space “But that doesn’t make any sense, Tony. Of course there’s no space if time fills the space. But how can time fill a space?” It’s all so confusing isn’t it? When I say time fills the space, I don’t mean that “final frontier” up yonder. But, in a way, you could say time fills that … The rest of the story…

After all, a lot of reports are saying there’s an alarming rise in virus cases. And there’s all these protests. And riots…and destruction. So, what’s a God-fearing, peace-loving person to do? Well, may I suggest reading a confidence Bible verse? … The rest of the story…
One thing I do… Social media is so anti-social. Because many (if not most) people spending a lot of time there are clueless about how conversation works. Interaction. Exchanges of ideas. So, one thing I do, when I’m on social media, is keep my mind focused on truth. And yes, there IS truth. Even universal truth. But only for those who don’t hate the … The rest of the story…

But I hope you at least can tell I’m just kiddin around. And I know I misspelled here. Because it’s a thinly stretched pun to illustrate what … The rest of the story…
Restore my soul because I broke it If you’re a Christian (and if you’re not, you should be), you probably already know how trouble is always close at hand. You can’t swing a dead cornstalk (you thought I was gonna say something else, didn’t you) without trouble showing up.
