Last Sunday, Elgielene and I spent some time with my brother. And he told a story about a trip he took to Alaska. And his eyes lit up when he mentioned the boat ride through the blue water of the “inside passage” en route to his destination. Because he saw all sorts of wildlife and marine life, including whales, all sorts of birds, and … The rest of the story…

I just read a very short, very cool article that started out with this: For the first time in human history, scientists witnessed the precise instant human development initiates. What they observed wasn’t biological randomness, it was orchestrated precision. Of course, the term orchestrated precision piqued my interest. And since I’m one of those right-wing extremists who says we should abolish all abortion, I … The rest of the story…

Hey there, Tony here. I hope you’re not suffering from a severe Christmas goodies hangover today, the first day after Christmas 2025. If so, try a little hair of the dog: dark chocolate. And while you’re waiting for that to kick in, check this out. There’s something the following countries have 1000 percent in common. You probably can’t guess what it is. But feel … The rest of the story…
OK, we’ve only got a few Christmas spirit days left. Then everything gets turned off again for another eight or nine months. Oh sure, there’ll be a few leftovers. But pretty much once December 25th is done, the lights go out, and that sparkly holiday cheer turns into just another year. Sorry to throw a wet blanket on your Christmas spirit days. I’m sure … The rest of the story…
Nikola Tesla thought the Magic of Six was its power to make the whole universe work. In fact, he thought the magic of six was divine. According to an article I read about his fascination with the number, he said there is a “divine balance between the spiritual and the physical.” The article also said, “He saw this perfect harmony everywhere, from the human … The rest of the story…
All things are pure. To the pure, at least, they are. And my schoolboy days are a good example of what I’m talking about. I’m sure I’m not the only one who was this way. But mine is the only story I know about. So it’s the one I can talk about. I didn’t go around thinking all things are pure to the pure. … The rest of the story…
What does it mean to say there are lives in the balance? Usually, it means that some decision, that can affect a lot of people, is about to be made. Tragically, most of the time that decision is made by so-called leaders with no wisdom. And they pay lip service to certain lives in the balance. No wonder so many people in the world … The rest of the story…
You can find 7 mg of it in a 3 ounce serving of beef. Or 74 mg of it and 3 ounce serving of oysters. And you can find it a variety of other foods, which is good, because it plays an essential role in cell division and growth. In other words without it, you and I would have never become you and me. … The rest of the story…
“I don’t know which is more beautiful, the picture or the poetry. Together, they’re fireworks. The ability of artfully putting feelings into words is a rare, God-given gift. Kudos!” That’s what someone told me, a couple of days ago, on a social media platform. I’ve been putting feelings into words for most of my life. And I still enjoy every time someone mentions how … The rest of the story…
God is great. And His creation of the universe, galaxies, and all the stars and solar systems is just the tip of the iceberg. Because when it comes to love, God is great beyond comprehension. And the love you can see, in His creation of you and me (humans), reveals He is also real, alive, personal, and good. Imagine, for a second or two, … The rest of the story…
Yeah, it’s “a new material called Liquid Glass.” and here is how Apple describes it: “This translucent material reflects and refracts its surroundings, while dynamically transforming to help bring greater focus to content, delivering a new level of vitality across controls, navigation, app icons, widgets, and more.” They say it’s new. But liquid glass was described 2000 years ago. Oh sure, the following description … The rest of the story…
The pony expressed, in the rhyme I’m gonna share today, is a figment of my imagination. And just the title will make that completely obvious. Because real ponies (and horses) do real stuff. And a lot of that stuff is very tough. And, just as a reference for what real ponies and horses can do, read about these four. Yeah, you’ll never find a … The rest of the story…
Most people, if they even think about it, wonder why people like me (Christians) read the Bible over and over. But in their current condition, they can’t possibly understand how the word is alive. In fact, they probably look at a statement like that and ask, “The word is alive? Don’t you mean the words ARE alive?” And, grammatically, they’re sorta correct. But the … The rest of the story…
The good times will definitely outweigh and outlast the bad. I know this beyond the shadow of a doubt. Because I’ve chosen to follow the only person who ever was, or is, or ever will be good. And because I made that choice I’m eventually gonna live in a perfect place. And the good times will last forever there. How do I know? Simple. … The rest of the story…
Heaven holds a place for everyone who wants to live with, and love, the one true, living, loving creator of the universe. There another place for everyone else. And I recommend avoiding that place with all your heart, mind, and soul. I remember a guy who visited a church I attended in the Denver metro area years ago. As I recall, he ran a … The rest of the story…
Restful sleep is a combination of deep sleep and healthy breathing. Pretty simple, right? So why do so many people have such a hard time at night? Why don’t YOU get plenty of restful sleep? You can hear and watch a thousand different naturopaths, functional medicine practitioners, and standard western medicine doctors and you might get 1000 different answer answers to that question. Or … The rest of the story…
It’s not exactly an island like you might have pictured in your mind. Especially since it isn’t way out in the South Pacific or some place exotic like that. So, it’s not really an island day spa. But I’m gonna take some poetic license and stick with my assertion. Because it sure feels like an island day spa. Yeah, you’ve got the beautiful blue … The rest of the story…
Here’s just a small section, in a letter from Paul, to Philemon, that shows part of why I always talk about the power of God’s love. I thank my God, making mention of you always in my prayers, hearing of your love and faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints, that the sharing of your faith may become … The rest of the story…
I first heard about fetal-maternal microchimerism on a radio program a friend of mine used to produce and host in the Denver Metro area. And to say it’s a fascinating subject is an understatement. I just read about this phenomenon a couple of days ago. And here’s what the writer shared… ~ During a woman’s pregnancy, the cells of the baby migrate into the … The rest of the story…
