I read about a guy, named Andreas Cornelius van Kujik, who promoted the occasional medicine show, or carnival, or other cheap entertainment. One of those interesting shows was called “The Great Parker Pony Circus.” And another was called “Tom Parker and His Dancing Turkeys.” Now, that’s not just a medicine show, folks. That’s entertainment! Andreas Cornelius van Kujik was a Dutch immigrant. And if … Read the rest…
I read a subhead to an article, on a so-called “science” website, that said “A surprising cellular defensive strategy could inspire new antibiotics.” What’s surprising (not really) is how many times so-called “scientists” are surprised at the complexity in life here on planet Earth. Your own cells have more than one defensive strategy against invaders. Bacteria, viruses (aka viri), and all other germs are … Read the rest…
I know a man who is the personification of wisdom. And this man has the deepest respect from all his friends. He’s living proof that humility is wise. And I defy you to find anyone who has done more for his (or her) friends…or even enemies. But what’s that got to do with the whole humility is wise thing. Right?

But seriously, get started today. Because tomorrow is too late. And that’s a guarantee. You absolutely can’t do a darn thing about yesterday. It’s gone. Let it go. And tomorrow doesn’t … Read the rest…
I’ve shared some of my stories about the beginnings of my writing journey in life. How, at first, my writing was a way to impress “the ladies.” And then I looked for any and every opportunity to drive around the countryside in Kansas and Texas…to find subjects to write about. My “write about” is sort of like Crocodile Dundee’s walkabout. It’s therapeutic. Good for … Read the rest…
I don’t remember if I’ve shared this before. But this morning, while reading some creation science material, I recalled some fun times in the shallow end of the pool during those long ago summers in Kansas. Not because I couldn’t swim; I completed lifeguard training. No, my memories were about tossing my little brother, who’s nearly ten years younger than me, up in the … Read the rest…
