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…
A friend of mine is a business coach. And she shows her clients the value of a to do list. Plus, she helps them implement it into their business. And then, she even helps them build a system to automate much of it. It’s pretty cool. And I’ve seen her help a lot of business owners with her system. But there are many more … The rest of the story…
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 want to work. I just want to bang on the drum all day. And I don’t want to play. I just want to bang … 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 morning. So, every morning is an opportunity to show love to your family, friends, and (Dare I say it? Yes, I dare.) even … 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, intolerance disguised as tolerance. You know, fun stuff like that. So, everything old is still old. There’s nothing new about people thumbing their noses … The rest of the story…
You and I exist on this planet at the same time. Have you noticed that? We’re both humans. And we both have the exact same needs. Food, water, shelter, clothes, and emotional stability. Hmm…one of those is not like the others. If emotional stability stood out, move to the head of the class. And I’ll make my point and then I’ll share some lyrics … The rest of the story…
Most of the people of the world don’t believe in the one and only God of Christmas. And that’s a hopeless and futile existence. Whether they realize their hopelessness and futility or not. And the God of Christmas is THE one and only God. I know most of the people of the world find that to be an offensive and arrogant statement. And maybe it … The rest of the story…
A few years back I put together a collection of praise and worship songs. And I called the collection, “Raise The Praise.” Great title, right? Anyway, I’ve hardly ever mentioned that group of 12 songs since then. Maybe a couple of times. But, c’mon man. You hear ads for total junk about a million more times than that every month. Who needs to listen … The rest of the story…
