Real, and true, inalienable rights come from God. And all those so-called “laws” that so-called “lawmakers” make, almost daily? Well, they’re childish gibberish hung from a foolish wish. And they’re subject to subjectivism and/or the whims of a so-called “organic” government document. But even that document acknowledges that true rights come from God. Every person has the right to life, … The rest of the story…
Imagine if you could breathe underwater. Just think of the places you could go. How do fish breathe underwater? Well, they actually have a wonderfully designed system of gills that capture the oxygen from the water as it passes through. So fish don’t have to hold their breath like you and I do. But what if you didn’t have to … The rest of the story…
Have you noticed how most politicians, billionaires, and millionaires love clout? Yeah, they love to wield influence and power even when they don’t have the wisdom to do so. But time is running out for anyone who expects influence and power to last forever. Here’s a list of those people I shared eight years ago. And this is eight years … The rest of the story…
Ten years ago, right here on TonyFunderburk.com, I share some of my thoughts about social media. And I talked about how people get socially bold when they can hide behind a fake handle. So, I mentioned how social media is, in almost all cases, not conversation. Well, instead of me telling you I said such and such, here’s what I … The rest of the story…
“Since light travels faster than sound, some people appear bright until you hear them speak.” I love that quote, with the little twist. Because there’s more than just a little ring of truth to it. Yeah bright beginnings don’t always lead where you think they will. Matter of fact: We ALL had bright beginnings. You were born with a life … The rest of the story…
I bet you can remember this dialogue from “Back To The Future.” Doc tells Marty, “If we don’t fix this, you may never get back home!” And Marty answers, “Whoa, Doc, this is heavy!” Then, Doc, being a logical thinker, replies, “Weight has nothing to do with it, Marty.” Fun stuff. Back when they still made movies to be fun. But I didn’t bring … The rest of the story…
Ask yourself this question right now. “Am I doing right now?” Pardon me? What’d you say? You think it doesn’t sound like a question. Oops. You’re kinda right. I forgot one little swoop of punctuation. I meant to say, ask yourself this question: “Am I doing right, now?” And if you are, ask yourself why. Yeah, you read that right. … The rest of the story…
Joel Osteen is a fool. He’s not the only fool. Not by a long shot. But he’s one of the biggest. Because he’s in charge of one of the biggest churches in America. And he’s telling (translate that to selling) lies. And one of the biggest lies is found in the title of his “bestselling book,” Your Best Life Now. … The rest of the story…
In your own mind, do you think you can truly understand the universe? And I mean all its vastness, emptiness, and mysteries? I don’t believe you can. Because, in your own mind, there’s a tendency toward imagination. Imagination is great. I love to use it to create word pictures. But, when you spend too much time in your own mind, … The rest of the story…
I read an article on LinkedIn that was so incredibly stupid. And part of the stupidity is how the article was high in the feed of a platform (supposedly) focused on business. Why was the article stupid? Because it glorified black men. And that’s a huge part of the problem with so-called “social justice warriors.” They do what the claim … The rest of the story…
News alert! Equality is a myth. You and I are not equal. And no one else is your equal either. Or mine. And we will never be equal. NEVER. And that’s not a bad thing. I’ve worked a lot of different jobs in my time here on planet Earth. The one vocation that stuck was singer songwriter. I’ve driven trucks, … The rest of the story…
I got into a discussion, which quickly degraded into something I hadn’t seen coming. And it was a talk with someone I didn’t think would take things in such a negative direction. I won’t go into those details right now. But, after the scene was over, I thought back to an absolute truth test I posted exactly 11 years ago, … The rest of the story…
Are you on the edge of a cliff in your life right now? I’ll bet you’re not reading this on the edge of a cliff… Not literally anyway. But do you get the sense you’re on the edge of disaster? Well, what’s the edge where you’re standing? Do you have a relationship about to crumble? Or, is there a financial … The rest of the story…
I just read where Paul McCartney was fined £100 ($170) because he planted cannabis seeds and grew cannabis on his farm in Campbeltown, Scotland. That happened 49 years ago today, March 7. His “excuse” was that he got the seeds from some fans. And he didn’t know what they would grow. In an interview, after the trial, he said, “Well, we got … The rest of the story…
A lot of Christian conservatives (and people who claim to be conservative) will tell you school is bad. Well, at least the government school system is. But I’m here to tell you, school is cool, too. Well, not government school. It’s still bad. And evil. And destroying children’s brains right this minute. But I digress. Well, not as much as … The rest of the story…
You’ve heard this before. Time waits for no one. The Rolling Stones even had a song with that title. So, that proves it’s got to be true. Right? Time waits for no one and it doesn’t teach many either. Days advance like an inspired army. Right into the open arms of each passing year. There’s nothing you can do about … The rest of the story…
Imagine flying up into the the far reaches of the sky. And imagine it happens so fast everybody thinks you just disappeared. Suddenly you’re like a nursery rhyme. Twinkle twinkle, there you go. Would that be the coolest thing or what?! What’s that you say? It sounds silly? Childlike? Ridiculous? Well, I’ll see your silly, childlike, ridiculous notion and raise … The rest of the story…
About this time of year, back in 2013, I wrote my replies to some discussion about a cake shop in Lakewood, Colorado. Maybe you heard of Masterpiece Cakes? And its owner, Jack Phillips? He’s the guy who, according to his Christian faith, chose to refuse service to a so-called “gay couple.” And by “refuse service,” I mean he didn’t wanna … The rest of the story…
I was part of a debate…uh…conversation about whether or not The Flood actually happened. And you know The Flood I refer to, right? The guy who started the debate…uh…conversation said there’s no evidence that a worldwide flood ever happened. But he’s a perfect example of how so many deny that facts are real. That’s why they’re called facts. And facts … The rest of the story…
Tell the truth. Would you rather go to a baseball game or a Bible study? And would you rather talk about faith? Or football? Do you know where a great sports bar is? But you don’t have a clue where you could find a church that rightly divides the word of truth? Or maybe just reading or hearing that phrase … The rest of the story…
