🎶 People get ready. There’s a train a-coming. You don’t need no baggage. You just get on board. All you need is faith to hear the diesels humming. Don’t need no ticket. You just thank the Lord. 🎶 Yeah, those are lyrics to the old Curtis Mayfield song, “People Get Ready.” And there’s a lotta word power goin’ on in that song. When The Impressions had a hit with that … The rest of the story…
Yes, God does have a plan. A MasterPlan. But He most definitely does not have a plan for your day. As I’ve said many times…He’s far too brilliant a designer than to create a bunch of humans who can’t do anything apart from Him. So, if you’ve been one of those Christians who says things like, “I’ve just got to remember, God’s in control,” … The rest of the story…
Nikola Tesla was an interesting guy. No doubt. And he’s represented, a lot, around here in the shadow of Pike’s Peak. Because he actually lived and worked in the Colorado Springs area for a little while. And recently I read some excerpts from what are known as the “Tesla papers.” Yes, he was an interesting guy. Still is I guess. Some snippets from the … The rest of the story…
In college I had a roommate, Rick. And he was a nice guy. We got along fine. But I think he could sleep through a tornado. And an example of what I mean is also one of the biggest reasons I hate the song, Free Bird, by Lynrd Skynrd. If you haven’t heard it, do yourself a favor, and don’t. Unless you’ve got 5 … The rest of the story…
Ahoy mates. I hope you be in a good mood for a yarn. A tale as big as the biggest creature in all the world. Ay, that’s right. We be talkin’ ’bout the whale. But not just any whale. This be the mighty Moby Dick. But this’ll be no free ride for ye. Not by a long stretch. Ay, you’ll be tendin’ to first … The rest of the story…
Columns are missing. And paradigms are falling down. But I’ll bet you don’t even care. You’re probably just gonna go on about your day and enjoy your life as though none of it’s happening. Right? And I bet you couldn’t care less about what happens when huge amounts of time go missing. Yeah, you’re so callous. Me, too. Because even though certain columns are … The rest of the story…
Once again I read a post, by a well-known social media person, who blamed God for bad stuff. And once again, it’s another person who thinks “God is in control” of even something like back problems. This person, like far too many others, falls for the pagan Greek philosophy version of our Creator. And not for the one, true, living, loving, Creator who doesn’t … The rest of the story…
Here in the Northern hemisphere, today is the longest day of the year. At least in daylight hours. Yep, that means the days start getting shorter starting tomorrow. It’s funny how some people hate to hear that. So, of course, that means I’ve gotta say it every year. Because I’m designed that way. No gettin’ around it. This longest day of the year, in … The rest of the story…
Just in case you haven’t noticed, the world is full of mean people and bad stuff. Nations are at war…all the time. Political parties are in constant power struggles. Murder is consistently at epidemic levels. And man-made pandemics are all the rage. But, even with all this dark-hearted dreariness, my cup runs over. And my cup runs over because all this will go away. … The rest of the story…
Imagine if you wrote a song and it became popular enough to be played on local radio. And then, more and more people liked it. So, it actually made it to the “music charts.” And then, what if your song rose to the Top 10 charts and stayed there for a week or two. Wouldn’t that be awesome? Yeah, I’d have to let all … The rest of the story…
