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
This week, back in 1979, I lived and worked in Houston, Texas. My brother and I had established ourselves as one of the more popular music duos. And we had fans we could depend on to come see us as … Read the rest
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
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
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
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
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
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
It’s a mean world. Every day you see and experience the cold, hard truth in this world. Whether you like it or not. And whether you prefer to think positive or be negative. Doesn’t matter if you’re a glass-is-half-full person … Read the rest
Just about everybody has a bedtime routine. It makes sense. Because humans are creatures of habit. Like brushing your teeth and changing into pajamas. Those activities just become something you do without having to put a lot of thought and … Read the rest
OK, I heard it again. And without mincing words (who does that anymore?) I gotta say I’m insulted. Because people keep saying they “miss the old hymns in church.” And they say things like, “Only the old hymns stay true … Read the rest
Music is a drug. Yeah, some people would like you to believe that. And think of it that way. But I don’t believe that’s a healthy way to think of it. And I DO believe music is good for you. … Read the rest
About 5 years ago I had an idea for an abounding grace song. So, I did what I always do. I wrote the lyrics. But there was still something missing. In fact a couple of things still missing. Seems like … Read the rest
Do a search, for “retire,” on just about any search engine with the suggestions function. And you’ll probably see something like “retire ready” or “retire age” or, the best one, “retire early.” Yeah, if you’re gonna do it, retire early. … Read the rest
“You’ve got a mighty bright eternal future here, son.” “Ah, thanks Father. I can’t tell you what that means to me.” No, those aren’t lines from an old black and white movie. Although they could be. And too bad they … Read the rest
