Here’s some encouragement for the day. But it’s only for people who aren’t fools. People who understand the difference between delusion and reality. And if that direct and simple statement triggers a negative reaction in your head, you might be in the fools camp. But even people with wisdom can use some encouragement for the day. Because this planet is spinning on its evil … The rest of the story…

Do you have siblings? If so, did you ever get into arguments with them when you were kids? No, who does that, right? Seriously, if you have a brother or sister (or a bunch of them like Elgielene does), you most likely had at least a disagreement or three. And you might remember answering the “why” question with the most profound reply of all. … The rest of the story…
Your safe place isn’t. Because there’s no safe place on Earth. Sure, there ARE places that, on a certain level, are safer than others. That’s just when it comes to the most violent and in-your-face crimes. But there’s nowhere on this planet that isn’t wicked. You can’t get away from it even in the small towns. And that’s where you used to be able … The rest of the story…
I certainly appreciate the most important things in life. I’m sure you can relate. Great computer, phone, and tablet. Several devices to watch videos and stream content. Internet access to a world so vast I’ll never see or hear it all. As a pre-teen and teenager, my family called me “technical Tony.” They didn’t always mean it as a term of endearment. But let’s … The rest of the story…
It makes me mad how some people feel a deep-down, dastardly need to rule over others. Yeah, for them, rule number one is “Do unto others before they can do unto you.” But that rule number one only lasts a little while. I know you realize we have a very short time here on planet earth. There’s a one-to-one ration of births to deaths. … The rest of the story…
Happy Pioneer Day. And before you jump to the conclusion that I’m gonna share some Funderful insight about Brigham Young and his connection to Utah, let me assure you. Nothing could be further from that nonsense. Pioneer Day supposedly started out that way. And apparently it’s still “celebrated,” on some level, in Utah and maybe some other Western states. Chances are probably pretty good … The rest of the story…
You had a lot of things to do today. Right? Of course. Everybody, who leads a normal life that requires sustenance, had a busy day. So, I won’t take a lot of your time. This is just a little nudge post. Just a tiny, gentle nudge. Just something to ponder in the middle of all you’ve got to do today. Maybe, and mind you … The rest of the story…
Over 30 years ago I asked the question in a song I wrote on my brand new (at the time) keyboard. How long can it go on? And even though, now, I can listen to the digital keyboard version of an electric guitar and cringe, the question is more relevant than ever. Because we’re on a ship of fools with a ghost at the … The rest of the story…
It’s summer time. And no doubt you’ve been in the garden yourself, or you know someone who has. Or you’ve been to someplace to get some of the good stuff that comes out of a garden. Right? And I can tell you, from a LOT of experience, how good it is to go into a garden to feel the dirt beneath your feet and … The rest of the story…
Here’s a tough one, even for Christians. God is not currently in charge of this world. And again, Jesus tells us that. Three times! He WILL rule this world one day. But He currently does NOT rule. And the evidence should be as clear as the daily news. I know you literally hear, in just about every Christian circle, that you need to “trust … The rest of the story…
