For as long as I can remember, there’s always been this expression that boys will be boys. And of course, that got extended into men will be men.

Because nowadays the media would have you believe men will … The rest of the story…
I’ve been encouraging anybody who would read what I write and listen to what I say to remain optimistic in tough times. But I don’t just say the words. I also share why it’s not just good advice. It’s important to your health down to the marrow of your bones. Remain optimistic in tough times because the alternative should be unthinkable. The subject came … The rest of the story…
As long as I can remember there have been “peace talks” and “peace agreements” and “peace accords” all over the world. Trouble is…I’ve never gotten the feeling that the world is at peace. Have you noticed that? For as long as I can remember (and that’s a lot longer than it used to be) there have been wars. We’ve been fortunate here in America. … The rest of the story…
Probably. Because people are so easily offended these day. And they’re so quick to anger. And so slow to wisdom. But guess what? That’s not new. You might believe you’re part of the cream of the cause du jour. But you’re only doing what human beings have done for thousands of years. Rebelling against God. And I know the “cool peeps” aren’t gonna listen … The rest of the story…

And if there’s a caring bone in your body, maybe you wonder what you can do. You might feel all alone. Or that no one else sees what you see. You might think it’s hopeless because you’re only … The rest of the story…
Just because some authoritative power makes a rule doesn’t make the rule a good one, a just one, or a fair one. In fact, many rules, policies, and laws are downright bad. But you gotta think and ponder and examine to know which rules are good and which are bad. Before you decide to break rules you’d better be sure you’re on the right … The rest of the story…
Darn it. I just broke my handheld a mirror. But it’s my own fault. Because I should’ve laid it down before I ran out the front door, under the painter’s ladder, just to chase away that pesky black cat keeps scrounging around here.
