I write, with sincere care, about how much I want you to live in paradise forever. Because your Creator wants me to do that because HE wants you there. But my daily flashes of light from the power of God’s love aren’t seen as care or love by most people. Because most people don’t even recognize sincere care anymore. That shouldn’t come as any … The rest of the story…
I gotta share this story I just saw again today. Maybe you’ve seen some version of it. But it’s about what happened when a young cashier told an older woman “you should bring your grocery bags next time. Because plastic bags aren’t good for the environment.” And the older woman shared some actual good for the environment facts. Here’s the story version I saw: … The rest of the story…
Wild animals and other creatures breathe. But the breath of the wild things isn’t the same as the breath that goes in and out of you and me. And by “breath of the wild things” I don’t mean plain ol’ oxygen. I noticed how God created the Earth, separated the water from dry land, put “lights” into the heavens, and blessed the ground with … The rest of the story…
Over ten years ago I wrote about what it takes to be a healthy, happy human. And I said, “First, you have to be a human. Next, you need to be healthy and happy.” Sounds sensible enough. Right? And I added some suggestions for getting outside to soak in some fresh air and sunshine. Doesn’t take much but consistency. And fresh air and sunshine … The rest of the story…
Wow. August the first. And this month started out the same way July ended. HOT! Blazing, triple digits hot. A/C running almost continuously all day hot. And did I mention it was hot? I just looked at my weather app. August the first ain’t the end of it. I’m in the heart of the heartland of America now. But 10 years ago, on August … The rest of the story…
Generally speaking, I’m not an AI guy. But I AM a tech enthusiast. Always have been. So, I like to see what new technology can do. And I like to see if it’ll help or hinder. OK, that’s a summary of me and my view ON artificial intelligence. Now, here’s a summary of me BY artificial intelligence: ~ TonyFunderburk.com is the official website of … The rest of the story…
I remember watching certain kinds of sci-fi movies, way back in decades past, that showed unbelievable scenarios for the future. But here we are, IN that future, and some of those things actually came true. One thing, in particular, is how easy it has become to terminate people just because they annoy you. Yeah, it has become acceptable to terminate people of ALL ages. … The rest of the story…
There’s a scene in an episode of one of those old western TV shows where some “concerned citizens” are talking to a father who doesn’t send his son to school. And the citizens tell the dad that, of course, he’s free to teach his son however he sees fit. But they insist that his son will miss out on a more complete and well-rounded … The rest of the story…
When it comes to truth, most politicians would rather not. I hope that’s not true, when it comes to YOU. And I hope you don’t leave yourself in a compromised position when it comes to life and truth. Because compromise can sear your soul when it comes to you. That doesn’t make you a special target. Compromise can sear any soul who gives in … The rest of the story…
I haven’t counted them, personally. But I’ve read, from reliable sources, that the Bible gives instructions to “fear not” 365 times. So, clearly, you should live in fear. Right? I can hear the voice of Spock, “That’s most illogical, Tony.” And it IS most illogical to live in fear. On the other hand (which would be the left one, by the way), this world … The rest of the story…
