I mentioned, in the past few days, that a friend of mine died. But I don’t think I mentioned how he’s now more alive than he’s ever been. More alive than you or me or anyone else on this planet. Because we’re all born into a broken life on a broken planet. And the only thing that has any possibility of helping me cope … The rest of the story…

A few days ago, I shared a little backstory to some lyrics by a friend of mine. Cristina also wrote more lyrics that she sent me to look over. And I liked how she described some of the glorious, intangible things God gives us. Yes, God gives us a bountiful world to inhabit. But that’s not the truly glorious stuff. Not by a long … The rest of the story…
A friend of mine died yesterday, September 12, 2021. But he wasn’t just a friend. He was a guy who taught me (and lots and lots of other people) more of the deep dive information in the Bible. It’s so weird to talk about him in the past tense. Because he had such a powerful presence. And thinking about him moving to his Heavenly … The rest of the story…
It’s funny. But I thought about this in the wee hours of the morning, today. And then it came up again in another topic. So, I guess I’m just gonna go ahead and tie it in with something I’ve been sharing for the past month or so. Of course, I’m talkin’ about the ubiquitous belly button. Now, I know your belly button isn’t a … The rest of the story…
Good people, everywhere, want the bad stuff in this world to be over. They wanna see the end of night. The final curtain on this world of cold, darkened hearts. And it’s no wonder. Because the darkness, this seemingly endless night we’re experiencing, is full of terror. But a lot of the good people, everywhere, realize it’s darkest before the dawn. And that reminds … The rest of the story…
They say ignorance is bliss. Who are they? And why do they say that? But never mind all that right now. There’s one way ignorance will be anything but bliss. Because you won’t be able to plead ignorance when you leave this world. And you’ll discover, if you haven’t already, how your own denial will be revealed to you by the… King of Hearts … The rest of the story…
Generally speaking, most scientists (and the rest of us, too) believe there’s nothing faster than light. And it’s mighty difficult to imagine that not being true. Because, think about it, when you flip the switch to your kitchen light, it comes on instantly. But I think there IS something faster than light… Your thoughts. And I know, some will say thoughts don’t travel. But … The rest of the story…
Paramecia don’t become parakeets. And an amoeba will never be an ambulance driver. Not in a million, trillion years. Because changes like that don’t happen. Not by accident. Not on purpose. And certainly not accidentally on purpose. Accidentally on purpose used to be a joke, when I was a kid. But we didn’t imagine how serious that whole “accidental” thing would be. We were … The rest of the story…
A fairly impressive milestone slipped by me this past week. And that’s even though I told myself to not let it slip past me. What was the milestone, you ask? Well, thanks for asking. Right here, on my humble little website…my humble little blog…there are over 2000 posts now. And I was gonna make some sort of a special deal. But it’s too late … The rest of the story…
Elgielene and I were driving down the highway the other day, and we saw a small herd of longhorn cattle. And we both commented on how healthy they looked. We could tell it was at least partly because they were grazing in greener pastures than other cows in the area. But that didn’t stop one of the cows from poking its head way through … The rest of the story…
