Hmm…let’s talk about a big bang. Sounds like fun. Right? I mean who doesn’t like the bang-up sound of a drum? Not Todd Rundgren. In fact, he wrote and sang a song about it back in the 80’s. I don’t … The rest of the story…

You’re a person. Yes YOU! And you’ve always been, and always will be, a person. From your biological beginning to your natural death. And beyond if you choose well. So, get wise. And choose well. Because, if you’re reading this, … The rest of the story…
I saw an article that said “imagination is everything.” That’s so wrong. And it sends a deceptive message. Especially to little kids. And even to teens for that matter. To say imagination is everything is like claiming it as your … The rest of the story…
Who you are, what you do, and what you know, all of it, means nothing without love. Absolutely nothing. Because if it isn’t in you, then neither is life. So, that means you and I are nothing without love from … The rest of the story…
A few years ago I wrote about a protoplanet named “Vesta.” And how it might have some clues about how life on Earth might have formed? Scientists discovered some areas of impact on what they call a “minor planet.” And the … The rest of the story…
He said he learned to sing “in church, because of my mother. God bless my mom.” And I read another quote from him that was in response to being called Mr. Evans. He replied, “Don’t call me Mr. Evans; only … The rest of the story…
Live well and be well because you can’t be sick and inspire…at least not for long. Oh, you think you can? Think again. You need your health. It’s not just something that’s nice to have around. It’s the core essential … The rest of the story…
In 1975 I worked in a lumber yard in a small town in East, central Kansas. I drove large lumber trucks with loads of materials to new home building sites. And I drove a forklift to load and unload the … 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. … The rest of the story…
Imagine somebody who could conjure up designs for the universe and everything in it. And now imagine somebody who could get it all built in only six days. This doesn’t sound like some ordinary person. Right? The sun, moon, and stars. … The rest of the story…
It isn’t difficult to stir up emotional opposing opinions when it comes to talking about God. And I got another example of this, recently, from a woman who didn’t like my post about Katharine Hepburn. Her comments were filled with … The rest of the story…
This is a short story that leads up to the happiest birthday ever for someone I know. 1938. It was a cold day in January. In rural Oklahoma. FDR was in the first year of his second term as president … The rest of the story…
It’s sad how we humans insist on being our own kings and queens. Because we’re so temporary. I remember a song, from back in the 70’s, by Seals and Crofts. It’s a lighthearted little tune about a guy who admits … The rest of the story…
He’s THE good Father. The only good Father. And He’s the foundational reason I can hear music in the morning. So, if He says “the purpose of the commandment is Love,” then so it is. And love is new in … The rest of the story…
So, here we are in the first week of January 2022. And it’s been cold and a little snowy here in the shadow of Pike’s Peak. But ever since October it’s been quite dry. So, I don’t think anybody’s gonna … The rest of the story…
What do supernova remnants and stars have in common? Oops. When I say “stars,” I mean the so-called Hollywood stars. What do they have in common with supernova remnants? Well, nothing, really. Except that I’m talking about them both right … The rest of the story…
What’s that expression? Everything old is new again. Yeah…I’m gonna have to disagree. Because even as we’re in just the second day of a new year, 2022, the world is still spewing out the same old junk. Hate, willful ignorance, … The rest of the story…
