Twenty-six years ago I remember hearing somebody say how corrupt our government has become. And they said it felt like people who want to stand up for truth, justice, and the American way (to quote from the old Superman TV show) just face impossible odds. Of course, it can feel like that. These days it can feel like that way more than back then. … The rest of the story…
I bet you can think of more than one example of when somebody used roses in a song. Right? Yeah. There are plenty of songs where roses play a big part. Because there’s just something about that one flower. And it would probably be just as unique even if it had another name. So, obviously, when I put roses in a song I wrote, … The rest of the story…
The world is a very serious place to me now. I wrote that on my blog over 11 years ago. And, as you might imagine, it’s an even more serious place now. But I don’t wanna finish this last Tuesday of September 2024 all dreary on ya. I’ll just share the little story and explanation from back in 2013. Oh yeah, there’s also a … The rest of the story…
She played the song many times on that Hi Fi record player from the 60’s. And she said it was one of her all-time favorites. I was a young whippersnapper. So, I had no idea that the piano instrumental of a song called “Autumn Leaves” had been a number one hit on the Billboard charts. But that’s what I found out today Roger Williams’ … The rest of the story…
Sunday. A day of peace and quiet. Yeah, maybe that’s true for you. But the world is filled with horrible, terrible things that humans are doing to other humans even as you read this. So, still ready to enjoy some peace and quiet today? Well, I hope so! In whatever way makes you happy. As long as it doesn’t dishonor God and it isn’t … The rest of the story…
You’re getting a treat. I’m gonna share The Ten Commandments 2.0 for Liberals, Re-publicans, and Legalists with you. And these aren’t written in stone (that I know of), so get a grain of salt handy. These were shared many moons ago on TheologyOnline.com And the co-authors’ names are at the end. The Ten Commandments 2.0 (for Liberals) 1. You shall have no other gods, … The rest of the story…
You’re probably never gonna grab a needle and thread and sew anything. So, on the surface, maybe what I’m about to say won’t interest you at all. But bear with me. Because I’m gonna connect a needle and thread to God. “I call that mighty bold talk for a one-eyed fat man,” you say, quoting a line from True Grit. OK, setting my fragile … The rest of the story…
Nope. I’ll never be on one of those New York Times bestseller lists. But I’m fine with that. And here’s why. Because it’s the New York Times. And they don’t wanna associate with the likes of people like me who talk about the power of God’s love so much. They’s rather promote the wimpy, limp-wristed, “tolerance and diversity” nonsense that attempts to pass itself … 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…
I know you’re a busy person. You’ve got appointments. Calls to make. And people to see. Not to mention (but I will) mouths to feed and broken things to fix. And you gotta do all this while bad things happen all around the world. It’s maddening. It’s saddening. And it’s almost more than a mere human being can bear.
