Way, way back in time, Elgielene put some kinetic energy on my wrist. And that’s my poet brain way of saying she bought me a Seiko Kinetic watch. If you’ve never seen one or had one, check ’em out. They’re pretty cool. And getting a little more rare these days. I’ve had mine for 26 years now. Seiko found a way to store kinetic … The rest of the story…
I’m suffering from depression. Right now. Exactly at the moment I’m typing these words. If you’ve followed my posts or podcast episodes, you might think I’d never be one of those people who deals with depression disorders. But here it is. And I gotta say, it hasn’t helped one bit to open up about this. There are a lot of depression disorders out there. … 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…
Berhane was a musician who died over 40 years ago. And he was buried in the same village where he was born, only 36 years before that. According to a report I read he was laid to rest with a Bible open to Psalm 23. And the report also said that he had been “baptized in the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahido Church and accepted Christ … The rest of the story…
According to search engine “suggestions,” a very popular search term is “Kanye West net worth.” And sadly, for the hip-hop rapper, it’s way less than it was. Poor dude is only worth about $400 million now. But don’t worry. Because fans want to make him a billionaire again. Gotta get that Kanye West net worth back into the $B column. But why do fans, … The rest of the story…
Here it is. Halloween 2022. Showed up like a fruit cake on Christmas. And just as delightful. But I don’t wanna ruin your special day, if you’re a fan. Because I have nothing against kids getting lots of healthy candies from companies who look out for their best interest. Go for it, kids! Make Halloween 2022 a record year for bags of candy. Because, … The rest of the story…
I’ve heard it said more times than I can remember that if you don’t vote for one of the 2 parties’ candidates, you basically throw your vote away. Nothing could be further from the Truth. I capitalized Truth for a reason. Because most politicians wouldn’t know Truth even if it was in the bestselling book of all time. And even the ones who do … The rest of the story…
The tax system in the USA will eventually destroy the country. I’ve said it before. And I’ll admit it again. I’m a procrastinator. At least when it comes to giving up money to a system that has a metaphorical gun to my head (and I wouldn’t be surprised if and when it’s a real gun). I always put off the whole tax filing thing … The rest of the story…
95 years ago, today, October 6, a quirky little guy said, “”Wait a minute, wait a minute, you ain’t heard nothing yet.” And the crowd went wild. You probably already know I’m talking about Al Jolson. And you probably already know he was the guy who made movie history when “The Jazz Singer” premiered as the first “talkie.” Yeah, after all those silent movies, … The rest of the story…
I’m happy to celebrate when a church moves in the direction of rightly dividing the word of truth. But you almost never see that anymore. In fact, most establishments calling themselves churches move in the opposite direction. Sometimes the move is speedy. And often it’s slow enough to be almost unnoticeable. Like when a report says a church moves by the hand of God. … The rest of the story…
