One week from today is Christmas 2021. And in just about every part of the world there are Christians who will celebrate the birth of Jesus. But have you ever stopped to think (or even thought about it without stopping) how that celebration is unique to humans? No animals, birds, fish, or reptiles can be found putting up Christmas trees. Or buying presents. Or … The rest of the story…
Newsflash! You are not an accident. So, don’t believe or trust anyone who monkeys around with the facts. Because they have an agenda that leads to eternal loneliness and torment. It should bring you JOY to know you are not an accident. Because if you’re just some sort of trained ape, what hope do you have? But maybe you wonder how I can confidently … The rest of the story…
I was part of a debate…uh…conversation about whether or not The Flood actually happened. And you know The Flood I refer to, right? The guy who started the debate…uh…conversation said there’s no evidence that a worldwide flood ever happened. But he’s a perfect example of how so many deny that facts are real. That’s why they’re called facts. And facts are real despite how … The rest of the story…
When you think of the ocean, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? That it covers most of the planet? Or that it’s salty? Maybe you think of it as a fun place to go vacation. And maybe your first thought is how it’s so blue. That’s what I think. And the same is true with the sky. So blue. But have you … The rest of the story…
In our galaxy, but far, far away, are known forces at work. Like a giant vacuum cleaner. And I believe, once you hear this, you’ll see the zodiacal light and become a Christian. Well, maybe that’s just pie-in-the-sky wishful thinking. Or maybe some known forces will start working on your soul. But…to get back to my point for the day… You probably already know … The rest of the story…
Just 5 days ago, I alluded to this event that took place 83 years ago today. That’s when Orson Welles did a radio broadcast based on the H.G. Wells (no relation and not even spelled the same way) book, War of the Worlds. The War of the Worlds broadcast was a special Halloween show. And, by many accounts, there were millions of people listening. … The rest of the story…
“They” called him the “Chairman of the Board.” How he got the title depends on who you ask. But there’s no denying that Frank Sinatra liked being in charge. And I was never a fan even though he sang a couple of songs here and there I actually liked. One of those was about lost love. But this particular lost love was blown away. … The rest of the story…
Jupiter, you’ve got it goin’ on. Yeah. And Saturn, you’re lookin’ mighty sassy. Oh, and Neptune! Mighty nice. Yeah, you’re some hot planets, for sure. Hope you don’t mind me sayin’ so. Uh-oh. Tony’s got sunstroke. He’s talkin’ about hot planets. Hey Huey Lewis sang a song that said “sometimes bad is bad.” Well, sometimes “hot” means heat. And so, that ‘splains all my … The rest of the story…
It’s funny (odd, not ha ha) how small comets got me thinking about the old Comet cleanser TV commercials. And you’d have to jump into Professor Peabody’s Wayback machine or hop onto YouTube to see ’em now. (and if you don’t remember Professor Peabody and his Wayback machine, you’re too young to read this). But I’m not talkin’ about those innocent, family friendly commercials … The rest of the story…
Young comets never die. They just fade away. Of course, I’m borrowing from American slang. But what’s with the whole comets crashing into the sun and other planets thing? Yeah, they sound like an annoying gang from the 50’s. I can just see a headline from back in the day… Young Comets Crash Another Party Yeah, it’s what they do. And that’s partly why … The rest of the story…
High interest rates. A manufacturing slowdown or an asset bubble burst. Maybe a slide in real estate. And certainly credit crunches. What do all these have in common? They can all be causes for an economy sliding into recession. But what causes a moon recession. Because there ain’t none of that up there on the little night light. But the moon recession is a real … The rest of the story…
Ninety degrees is too hot. You can disagree with me. But if you think it’s not that hot, then prove it by turning off the a/c in your house and your car. Yeah, I didn’t think so. Because regardless of humidity or heat indexes or whatever, ninety degrees is too hot. And it has been at ninety or above for most of the middle … The rest of the story…
