We will not comply. That’s a trending topic on X (aka: Twitter) this morning. Of course, that sentiment is appropriate so I clicked on the link to see what was being said about it. And the first thing I saw was a short video of President-Elect Trump saying those very words. “Hear these words. We will not comply!” Then he followed that up with, … The rest of the story…

It’s a milestone birthday. And it’s big enough that no one would ever accuse me of being young again. Not that they have for a long time. But it’s a certainty now. But even an “old” milestone birthday is a huge blessing. I read a short blurb about this one. The “writer” said: “Marking the milestone of the ** birthday is a profound acknowledgment … The rest of the story…
Now and then, with a keyboard or pen, I go back where I’ve been. That’s what I say now. And “then” I said this: I find it difficult to write anything without trying to make it rhyme in my head. Or without pondering the rhythm of the words. It isn’t obsessive. But it IS almost constant. And dare I make a mention of the … The rest of the story…
Why are there so many people hell-bent on the destruction and torment of other people? It’s like the world is literally filling up with slime from Satan’s cup. And you don’t even have to watch the “six o’clock news” to see and hear it anymore. Because the internet, a bag of tricks for those on the dark side, has billions of channels you can … The rest of the story…
I first shared this song over a dozen years ago. And about eight years ago I showed how the lyrics explained more of the whole person who created you and me. I went through the words a little at a time and put the explanation in blue. For anyone who’s interested, here’s a rerun of that explanation for… Give Me The Whole Jesus Oh … The rest of the story…
Gnats. Flies. If you’re like most people, just the mention of those little buggers is annoying. Because that’s what they are. Annoying. And the reason I brought ’em up is because of my eyeglasses. Not because gnats and flies are hovering around my glasses. But because I scuffed one of the lenses, recently. And now, there’s an annoying blur in front of everything I … The rest of the story…
For several years I’ve shared this song on Independence Day (July 4). But I believe it’s even more appropriate for the holiday (HolyDay) Christians, around the world, are about to share. A day that marks what one tortured soul endured a long time ago. Not to become a martyr. And not for some crime or sinful action. No. That tortured soul endured agony for … 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…
I worked in a disco. Yep. It’s true. I was a bartender. And I also worked as what they called a “floorwalker.” That was one of the guys who (you guess it) walked around the floor to make sure they were having a good time and behaving. And at the end of the night, I sang Better Off Dead. (Are you with me so … The rest of the story…
Several years ago I conjured up a 7 layer architecture to describe the human heart. But, keep in mind, it’s a product of my own wishful thinking. Because the human heart ain’t nothin’ like this. So, the 7 layer architecture goes like this: “The first layer is a deep, dark indigo where the heart is conceived. The second layer is a rich, regal purple … The rest of the story…
