It’s not exactly an island like you might have pictured in your mind. Especially since it isn’t way out in the South Pacific or some place exotic like that. So, it’s not really an island day spa. But I’m gonna take some poetic license and stick with my assertion. Because it sure feels like an island day spa. Yeah, you’ve … The rest of the story…
Human beings have probably thought about or wondered whether there is life beyond the sky and beyond the stars. I’m not an astronomer, and I don’t play one on YouTube. But I’m convinced beyond the shadow of a doubt that the answer to those questions and dreams is yes… There is DEFINITELY life beyond the sky. In fact, infinite life … The rest of the story…
It was around this time of year, the summer of 1979 to be more precise, when I bought a little blue Hilux pickup from a Toyota dealership in Houston Texas. I remember the test drive. It was a hot, humid day, very normal for Houston, and I actually ran out of gas from the test drive. So, I had to … The rest of the story…

He was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1970. And that happened mostly because of just one song. So, that must’ve been quite a song. Right? You got it.

If you care about your health, and you certainly should, you probably know how important digestive enzymes are. But did you know that as you get older, your body doesn’t do such a good job of making enough of them? But we live in a time when you can get digestive enzymes in a bottle. How cool is that? I’ll … The rest of the story…
I just scanned two or three dozen social media posts that all sounded almost identical. And they all said something similar to this: On June 14, 1777, the Continental Congress adopted the Stars and Stripes as America’s flag. So, as of Flag Day 2025, it’s been a symbol of freedom, patriotism, and strength for 248 years. Wow, Flag Day 2025 … The rest of the story…

Molotov cocktails. And my original music. What do they have in common? Boulder, Colorado. Maybe you already read about that terrorist in Boulder Colorado today. He actually tossed Molotov cocktails into a crowd and burned people. And if we had an actual justice system in America, he would be put to death early tomorrow morning. But don’t hold your breath … The rest of the story…
The old expression says “the means justify the ends.” But I’m here to tell you that just ain’t true. Not when it comes to stealing other people’s money. And stealing other people’s money is the means your government uses to carry out your so-called “good intentions.” I heard Milton Friedman say it like this: “Bad means corrupt good intentions.” Now, … The rest of the story…
1977. I remember that year like it was, well, day before yesterday. But it was almost 50 years ago. Wow. And that’s the year NASA launched Voyager 1 into space. And that little spaceship is still traveling through space. In fact, I just read a cool, short blurb about it. The headline said… Voyager 1: A Time Capsule Still Exploring … The rest of the story…
There I was again. A very young boy in a trance. Or that must’ve been how it looked to any adults who might’ve watched me when it happened. But it wasn’t a trance. It was just me, fascinated with the tiny particles I believed I could see. Maybe I was just affected by the numbers 3 6 9. As in, … The rest of the story…
It was in the story of The Good Samaritan. And it’s been right here in the good ol’ U S of A for my whole life. And even further back than that. Yeah, the apathy is all around. And the apathy grows colder and colder now. I wrote about it in a harsh song about 34 years ago. And the … The rest of the story…
I woke up this morning and saw the same stories in the news again. Too many fires. And too many people with questions. And not many who shared how Living Water is the answer. So, you know what that means. Too many more fires to come. But this ain’t about too many fires burning down forests, prairies, or houses. It’s … The rest of the story…
If you wanna get somebody to do whatever you tell them to, whenever you want them to, then fear is the key. Because somebody’s who’s afraid of you or what you might do to them is so much easier to control. I learned how fear is the key way back in the 7th grade. Because I was what, these days, … The rest of the story…
So, I’m sitting at my desk. And I found this in-depth review of my website. Part of it said: Tony Funderburk’s website paints a picture of a man who is: Boldly Convicted: Unapologetic about his Christian beliefs, he uses his platform to proclaim his faith and values. Creatively Versatile: As a writer, musician, and illustrator, he blends media to craft … The rest of the story…
There I was, in my grandparents’ living room. It was a hot, Oklahoma summer day. And my Dad and Uncle were putting a weird-looking box through a window. I didn’t know what it was, at the time, because I was only about five years old. But my grandmother sure looked happy about it. I could tell she thought that box … The rest of the story…
This world is getting darker and meaner every day. And there are fewer kids doing wholesome kid stuff with each passing year. But I think you’ll find that the sights and scents of a flower garden can still attract kids almost as much as they attract bees. So, stop what you’re doing and make the most of it.
