OK, brace yourself. It’s gonna get serious mighty quick here. Starting with this question. How can you reconcile a loving God with all the pain in the world? People who want nothing to do with God ask questions like that so they can point out the so-called “flaws” in Christian faith. But I have another question for them. Do you actually believe that love … The rest of the story…
So, you’re sitting there trying to figure out what you can do for the 364 more days till Christmas. Right? Yeah, it’s all over but the leftovers now. Christmas came and went, as it has for years. Fast. And. Furious. And I won’t be surprised if I go into places of business today and hear NO Christmas music. Funny how it can start up … The rest of the story…
I see it almost every day in so-called “conservative social media.” And I cringe every time I see it. Talk about the so-called “Second Amendment Rights” of every American citizen. I obviously don’t disagree with the right to life and liberty. But your right to defend your life and freedom doesn’t come from a document some well-intentioned men wrote almost 250 years ago. Even … The rest of the story…
The irony of the so-called social media connection idea is how much more disconnected we are these days. And don’t try to defend your dozens of daily posts as how connected you are. Because that’s a fading facade. Social media connection is mostly a digital soliloquy. Sure, you can “reach out” and get in touch with someone, in a hurry, if you need or … The rest of the story…
Were is past tense. It’s a seemingly innocent, little verb. But it can contain implications SO intense that eternity is required in order to even begin to understand how intense. As an example, I’m gonna share some words written by a guy named Ezekiel. He’s a famous Biblical prophet. In fact, he’s considered one of the major prophets. But I’m not sharing his words … The rest of the story…
Well, it’s already the day after Thanksgiving. And you’re gonna see tons of commercials for so-called “Black Friday” deals. But I’m here to tell you the Black Friday notion starting dying out when the e-commerce was born on the good ol’ world wide web. So, now, every day can be as black as the day after Thanksgiving. And, that’s why a few years ago … The rest of the story…
Here’s a quick, short list of blessings I’m thankful for right now. (in spite of socialist politicians) God gave me life and made a way for me to live forever. My beautiful wife loves me and encourages my artistic endeavors. I’m healthy enough to wake up and work every day. God gave me the gift of words and music, the best personal gifts I … The rest of the story…
Sustainable aviation fuel. I just read a couple of short articles, from Forbes and the Wall Street Journal, about the “new” approach to help “reduce the carbon footprints” of airline companies. And, as I read, I thought, “How nice. Big corporations are starting to invest in something that’s been available all along. Matter of fact, you’ve enjoyed sustainable aviation fuel your whole life. Yep, … The rest of the story…

Farming is necessary: Yes___No___ Farmers help keep you alive: Yes___No___ Farms are the biggest contributors to global warming/climate change Yes___No___ OK, only 3 questions in the farming quiz.

I’m writing to you from the heart of the nation, now. Our respiratory experiment, on the Gulf coast, is finished. And I know the high level of humidity, there, was not the solution. So, after leaving the arid climate of Colorado (which was very difficult because it’s my favorite place) and the humid southeast, we hope the “baby bear porridge” of Kansas will be … The rest of the story…
