I get it. You gotta do what is important to you. Because if you never do, or you’re never allowed to, it can mess with your insides. Literally AND figuratively. But what is important to you might not be to anyone else. And you could even be fooling yourself about what’s important. It doesn’t matter how much you achieve in this life. And it … The rest of the story…
I remember driving across Kansas on I-70, headed to college in Manhattan (the little Apple, not the big one). And every so often I’d pass a sign that said something like, “One Kansas farmer feeds 27 people.” I can’t say, for sure, the number was 27. But it somewhere in that range. But nowadays those signs say something like 257 people. Regardless of the … The rest of the story…
Have yourself a mighty safe and Happy Thanksgiving 2021. Here’s a list of what I was thankful for a few years back. And it still applies for Thanksgiving 2021 I’m thankful… That God saw fit to give me life and to make a way for me to have it forever. For a wife who loves me and encourages my artistic endeavors. For our health…it’s not … The rest of the story…
Eight years ago, at about this time of the year, I wrote about how an unselfish life is not illustrated and/or perpetuated in (or by) evolution. And the whole altruism philosophy can be summed up in a dictionary definition. One dictionary defines altruism as the “selfless concern for the well-being of others”. And it’s very cool that we can even observe different species concerned … The rest of the story…
In case you haven’t noticed, there’s an mRNA controversy going on in the world. Foreign DNA and RNA gets into your cells all the time. That’s exactly how viral infections work. But your body almost always fights them off. And since you’re actually bombarded with viruses literally every day, it should be clear that your body is designed to handle them. Very well. And … The rest of the story…
Six years ago to this very day, I shared a message in my own way. A rhyme time post about what I love most. And you might already clearly see what’s about to come from me. And for anyone who missed it the first time around… Here’s the rhyme time about something sublime: – I find it difficult to write anything without trying to … The rest of the story…
Real Christian love isn’t about sugar-coated, ubiquitous forgiveness. And it certainly isn’t about all the so-called “gifts of the Spirit.” No, if you truly want to be more Christ-like (and you should want that), you should focus on what God’s word. His WHOLE word. Yeah, real Christian love realizes the need to rightly divide the word of Truth. Because the sugar-coated, ubiquitous forgiveness kind … The rest of the story…
OK, this is for the guys. So, if you’re a woman, you can skip this one. And I’d like to start by quoting the most famous author of all. “Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding. Exalt her, and she will promote you; She will bring you honor, when you embrace her. She will place on your head an ornament of grace; A crown of glory … The rest of the story…
Why would any serious songwriter ever write kids music? I mean, come on. Who’s gonna take you seriously when you write songs about doodles, toys, monkeys, and such? Well, I guess adults, with no love for the zaniness going on inside those young minds, will take me seriously. But I never wrote any songs for those people anyway. Here are just a few quick … The rest of the story…
Weakness is not sin. But letting it rule your life is. And the reason I bring it up is because there are too many, in the Body of Christ, who aren’t willing to “suffer reproach” from the world that hates God. So, they become weaklings in the faith. And that’s different than just being a weak human being. A little over seven years ago … The rest of the story…
