Before I share this next thought, I’ll let you know that I realize it’s a perspective I have about me. So, I fully realize it could be completely different from the one you have about me. And it’s most likely different from the perspective God has about me. So, I could be mistaken. But I believe I’ve always been a voice for positive Christianity. … The rest of the story…

Prepare yourself. Because you’re about to have your soul shaken. At least if you’ve bought into the notion that everything that happens is part of God’s plan. I wish that rumor would’ve never been started. But here’s some other shocking info that’s gonna sound like a rumor. In a sense, you’re in control of the destiny of your soul. Oh no! I can hear … The rest of the story…
A sign of status. And a sign of upper echelon social standing. They’re incredibly strong and agile. And they’ve been a great source of transportation for almost as long as there has been any need to travel. Because their endurance is legendary. They can literally run for miles. And, of course, this source of transportation is the mighty horse. Horses are referenced in many … The rest of the story…
Ok, I’m gonna talk about mosaic art. And I’m not gonna talk about Mosaic law. So, you don’t have to be nervous that I’m gonna somehow tie these two subjects together. But first, what is mosaic art? Well, most art sources will tell you something like: “Mosaic art is the decoration of a surface with small pieces of material called tesserae. Material is typically … The rest of the story…
A guy named John had a revelation. And not your average, everyday, ordinary revelation. This was THE revelation to beat all revelations. And some say it’s all gonna come true. Personally, I believe there’s an extremely good chance they’re right. But I don’t believe that it’s set in stone. Because set in stone means it MUST happen. But what is “it?” And why “must” … The rest of the story…
Here’s the cold, hard truth. You have no choice. You MUST believe in the God described in the Bible. No other option is available, viable, or reliable. So, give up. And give in. Resistance is futile. Oh wait. That’s The Borg. So sorry. My mistake. And I’m so embarrassed. Except, I’m not. Because I’m making a point. Something I often (almost always) do here … The rest of the story…
What has the potential for too much air noise along with serious temperature and humidity problems? You guessed it! Tiny zones. And who hasn’t awaken from a nightmare filled with those? Right? Tiny zones are like pushing 10 pounds of air through 1 pound of ductwork. Yeah, you’re only gonna have problems when you try to force a fixed amount of air through tiny … The rest of the story…
The article started out with a picture that included this title: “An artist’s illustration traces the long, cosmic path of a fast radio burst that originated in distant galaxies and reached Earth 8 billion years later.” So, right from the git-go the writer made it difficult to take the report seriously. “But Tony,” you might say, This “fast radio burst is one of the … The rest of the story…
Phrases. Short sentences. Sound bites. You don’t have to make hour-long speeches to discover how truth is hate to those who hate the Truth. And, YES, people DO hate the Truth. Especially the absolute kind. And truth is hate, to them, because they want to deflect it. For example, the Earth is relatively young. Yeah, no more than 10,000 years old. And probably as … The rest of the story…
Apparently it all started in a “gentleman’s club.” So, as you might expect, there is some controversy involved. Wait. What was that? You think I’m talking about a strip joint?! Far be it from me to stoop to such levels. No! I’m talking about the gentleman’s club where the Star Spangled Banner got its start. So, get your mind on the Star Spangled Banner … The rest of the story…
I’ve been unaware of angels, on Earth, for my whole life. And I mean the real ones. Not the little kids that moms call “my angel.” No. I mean the ones I might have even unwittingly entertained. And I’ve entertained hundreds of thousands of people over the years. But apparently it’s easy to be unaware of angels. Which I find odd. Especially since, according … The rest of the story…
You’ve probably heard the old expression, “A sucker is born every minute.” Or some form of that. Right? Well, how about this one? Criminals are born every day. I think that’s a fair assessment. Don’t you? Because criminals are born. They’re not made. But I just read a blurb that said, “For evolutionary studies, criminal behavior is not only a conglomeration of psychological and … The rest of the story…
It was a cold day in February. I was “on the road.” And, believe it or not, bad things were going on in the world. Yeah, I know. With all the world peace we enjoy these days, that’s difficult to even imagine. Thankfully bad things are a thing of the past. I’m so grateful, that over the past 36 years, especially, human beings have … The rest of the story…
Paul was a manly man. When you read about him, you won’t find a sentence that describes him that way. But, clearly, he was the polar opposite of a wimp. And, yes, I know that’s a polarizing statement. But I stand by it. Because if anyone was ever the polar opposite of weak, it was Paul. And I guess I should clear up which … The rest of the story…
It’s the very last word in the book. And it’s actually the last AND first word of authority on all aspects of life. Not just something to shout out when financial goals are met. Or when someone announces a potluck lunch. Or just “an expression of concurrence or assent; an assertion of belief.” And it’s the last word on purpose. I think the evidence … The rest of the story…
If ever there was somebody who could tell you how to make your mark in music, Willie Nelson sure could. And, even though I’ve never been a fan, I don’t deny he’s had a lot of influence and staying power. One of his cowboy songs came to mind this morning as I thought about events taking place in the world right now. You probably … The rest of the story…
Hold on to your hats. Because this is gonna get controversial mighty quick. Are you ready for a cold splash? How about a smack across your face? Or maybe a hair dryer in the bathtub? Yeah, it’s gonna be like all those. And maybe even more than all those put together. So. Here it is. I’ll just lay it out there. Some truth is … The rest of the story…
I was gonna say it surprises me. But it doesn’t surprise me anymore how most people still cling to antiquated and debunked theories of origin. I still think it’s sad. But not surprising. Because I’ve lived long enough to see people have figured out how to build their own thrones. And be their own kings. Or queens. But they still haven’t figured out how … The rest of the story…
I set the screensaver, on my laptop, to the “word of the day” option. It actually shows multiple words flowing across the screen. And this morning it paused on a negligence definition. Of course, I already knew that the definition of the word was something along the lines of: “failure to take proper care in doing something.” So, I thought to myself, “Hmm, I … The rest of the story…
Marketers, business coaches, motivational speakers will all tell you this. That you’ve gotta have a clear direction of where you wanna go. And what you wanna do. They’ll tell you that your master plan is where it all starts. Because if you don’t know where you’re going, how will you know when you get there? And that’s not just good advice for you as … The rest of the story…
