Reporting from somewhere high above imagination In 2011 I began work on my second collection of original lullaby songs for kids. (psst…adults love ’em, too) Several people who bought the first collection, Lullabye Bye, asked me to write some with a country and western “feel”. And while I’m not a fan of what passes for country and western these days, I AM a fan … The rest of the story…
Do it yourself. Talk about attitude! I’m guessing most of the guys in my generation were raised like me when it comes to being a gentleman. I don’t know that for sure, so I’ll just speak for myself. I was taught to open doors for ladies. Let them lead the way to the table in a restaurant, but the gentleman leads the way to … The rest of the story…
Where are the whole Jesus Christian music artists? I just watched part of a Hillsong “praise music” song included in a video news clip and I just about got a toothache from the sugar-coated message.

Where can you find wisdom and knowledge? Wisdom and knowledge are rarified jewels in society these days. Even Christians, who are told by God to seek wisdom, often show almost no wisdom when given the opportunity to shine.

(yeah, like most politicians) And that means they’re considered low density and made up mostly of hydrogen and helium. It’s good to know what they’re made of because that helps us … The rest of the story…
Put away childish things kiddo It”™s December 2018, as I write this, and of course that means people are ramping up their shopping time for Christmas. A lot of the focus is on buying presents for kids. And even though I haven”™t been a kid for a long, long time, I still remember the magical feeling of getting presents under the Christmas tree.

Three cheers for long life vitality Who doesn’t want long life vitality? OK, maybe dope smokers don’t care or think about that much, but most anybody else wants to live a long, healthy, energetic life. If you’re not one of them, you can stop reading right now and go enjoy another drag on your doobie. But anyone interested in hearing more about how to … The rest of the story…
The age of Earth is as good as gold It’s sort of ironic how I use the expression, good as gold, to talk about the age of the earth. After all, good as gold is kind of an old expression. And maybe younger readers and listeners have never heard it. Well, you have now. And it’ll all make more sense shortly. This case against … The rest of the story…
Talk about God and watch what happens A Thanksgiving and Christmas tradition in the Funderbungalow is to watch classic silver screen movies. Elgielene and I love the “old black and whites.” This Thanksgiving was no different. After our family tradition of steak, sweet potatoes, veggies, and dessert, we pulled up a couple of movies on YouTube and settled in. One thing stood out in … The rest of the story…
