I remember when, back in 1998, a renowned neurosurgeon told Elgielene and me to “get your affairs in order.” Have you ever been told that? It’s like somebody just dropped a heavy, dark blanket over your head. And I’ll get back to the neurosurgeon in a minute. But first, let’s talk about my deformed heart. Uh-huh, my deformed heart was discovered after that “affairs” … The rest of the story…
Why would somebody use the phrase, “whispers in the wind?” I’d say it’s usually to illustrate futility or loss. And I’d also say, it’s an ideal way to get that point across. Whispers in the wind have no chance of being heard. But whispers spoken into itching ears? That’s a wind of a different color. You’ve probably done it. Because I believe, on one … The rest of the story…
Probably most everybody has been affected by this at least once. I have. And I’m talkin’ about what others have said about you. And how you’ve been negatively affected by it. I’m grateful, to my Dad, for giving me some priceless advice about that. And that was essentially this: “Don’t let what others have said get stuck in your head.” The reason we had … The rest of the story…
It’s March 17, 2023 as I write this. So, here’s an Irish toast for ya. “May your day be touched by a bit of Irish luck, brightened by a song in your heart and warmed by the smiles of the people you love.” By the way, I don’t believe in Irish luck. Or any other kind of luck, for that matter. But I’ll not … The rest of the story…
As I scrolled through some information on the www this morning, I discovered that today (March 13, 2023) is K9 Veterans Day. And first, I gotta say I didn’t know there was such a day. Secondly, it makes perfect sense when you consider how valuable dogs are to military and police services all around the world. So, this K9 Veterans Day reminded me of … The rest of the story…
The movies out now are mostly total junk. And I know they don’t, as a rule, cater to guys, like me, who prefer to be entertained and encouraged. Because, apparently, most people out there in the wide world would rather watch movies full of profanity, darkness, and sex. At least if the movies out now are any indication. The reason I bring it up … The rest of the story…
Well, depending on who you source, the meteorological spring for 2023 has begun. Because, from what I discovered, it starts right around the first of March, here in the Northern Hemisphere. And that’s because temperatures are, well, spring like. But meteorological spring isn’t the spring I remember. Because I remember learning about the vernal equinox. And that sounded like a much cooler event than … The rest of the story…
Imagine seeing an angel with six wings. And, as you look closely, you see the angel uses two of them to cover his face, two of them to cover his feet, and two of them to fly. Pretty cool. And that’s a regular angel. What about archangel wings? Those must be even way cooler. Because there are only three archangels. So, archangel wings must … The rest of the story…
Even people who say they’re all about love and acceptance hate me. They’d never admit it. But they do. A few years ago I shared an article and a song about the sanctity of life. And I mentioned that many people SAY they celebrate tolerance and diversity. But they don’t include Christians in their diversity tolerance circle. Sadly, this same behavior is still going … The rest of the story…
You can find differing opinions and evidence about which day is the actual first day of the week. Without trying I’ve already seen conflicting opinions. And, not surprisingly, some people get more than a little upset when you disagree with or challenge their position. So, since today is the first day of the week, here’s an objective opinion about it. For the decades I’ve … The rest of the story…
