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 Are Close To Developing A Second Movie Plot.” Hilarious! And the other said, “Chris Tomlin Proud To Unveil Completely New And Original Christmas Song, … The rest of the story…

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, too. So, how do you do it? Well, roses are almost perfect. They’re beautiful, they smell nice, and women love them. Why? Because they’re beautiful … The rest of the story…
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, it never actually gets here. Then, on the other hand, tomorrow is already here. On the other side of the world at the international … The rest of the story…
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 has heard or read this. So, let me repeat… Katy, bar the door. (side note): Have you ever wondered where that phrase, Katy bar … The rest of the story…
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 odd to think it’s already here again. And that’s still a really good thing, too. Because, for the next three weeks, the whole world … The rest of the story…
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 fed nutrition information “out there.” And I decided, some time ago, that it was compelling and convincing enough to make me choose grass fed … The rest of the story…
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 or glass-is-half-empty person. It’s the “new normal.” But this new normal is anything but new. If you’ve been alive here on planet earth for … The rest of the story…
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 effort into them. And then maybe you read a little and turn off the lights. Boom. You’ve got a bedtime routine. Good for YOU. … The rest of the story…
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 to the Bible.” Or something like, “Music, in churches these days, is repetitious ME focused drivel. Modern songs just seem to leave out the … The rest of the story…
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. I read a quote, supposedly from Bob Marley, where he said “One good thing about music, when it hits you feel no pain.” That’s … The rest of the story…
