Do you wish for more money? More power? And more things? Well, be careful. Because what you wish for might not actually BE more. And I’m not superstitious, but your wish might come true. This is why it’s important to be careful what you wish for. The Bible says if you trust in riches, you’ll fall. And that can also mean fail. And not … The rest of the story…

Are you on the edge of a cliff in your life right now? I’ll bet you’re not reading this on the edge of a cliff… Not literally anyway. But do you get the sense you’re on the edge of disaster? Well, what’s the edge where you’re standing? Do you have a relationship about to crumble? Or, is there a financial crisis on the horizon? … The rest of the story…
I know people (too many, in fact) who never have nothing to say. Evidently they’ve never heard of a guy named Sol who talked about not talking too much. That being said, it’s still good to have something important to say. Or wise to share. And, for a writer, a lack of words can lead to frustration. Sometimes. Several years ago, I challenged myself … The rest of the story…
When the going gets tough…you know the rest. Right? Yeah, the tough are nowhere to be found. Just kidding (mostly). When the going gets tough, the tough get going. Once upon a time there was this world. And it was good. And beautiful. Pure. But fast forward about 6,000 years…and we have THIS world. And it’s not so good. It’s messed up. And purity … The rest of the story…
Some people think there are many mysteries of life. Those people never seem to find satisfactory answers to their burning questions. I have. And it brings me everlasting comfort. Maybe you think talk about everlasting comfort is just wishful thinking. But maybe it isn’t. And when I say “maybe it isn’t,” I mean, it isn’t. I hope you’re not one of those who says … The rest of the story…
World peace doesn’t happen because of touchy feely laws. History proves this over and over again. It doesn’t happen by taking away a person’s right to self protection. It doesn’t happen because somebody imprisons all those who disagree. And it sure doesn’t happen because some so-called “body of power” legislates it. World peace can only happen one of two ways. Everyone (yes, that’s everyone … The rest of the story…
Wow. I found this description of a waning crescent moon on a university website. “John the Baptist is sometimes connected with the waning moon (Baptisry of Östr Hoby, Sweden, 12c) to explicate his role as the last prophet of the waning Old Testament which is regarded, simultaneously, as a promise of the New Testament. The moon contrasts here the sun as symbol of fulfillment, … The rest of the story…
They say if you wanna make meaningful connections, understanding is the key. And I agree. But then again, I disagree. Understanding is a word that can have an almost identical meaning as either a noun or an adjective. Most people probably wouldn’t give that a second thought, but I think it’s a very cool and interesting fact. Mull this over for a minute or … The rest of the story…
I don’t know how many times I’ve heard this. But it’s a lot. Someone gives a presentation and says there’ll be time for Q&A at the end. Then they say something like, “And remember…there are no stupid questions.” But there ARE stupid questions. Plenty of them. And it’s uncanny (but not surprising) how so many of them start with “why.” Sad, too. Because a … The rest of the story…
It’s so cool how we have the tools to peek into the microscopic world of chromosomes and DNA. Just think about that for a second. Because some of the most brilliant minds who ever lived on planet Earth were only able to imagine those things. But now you and I can just type a few words into a browser and almost instantaneously find tons … The rest of the story…
