END TIMES, OR JUST A BAD DAY?

July 29, 2022 by

End Times is a notion that we’re not long for this world. The American History Channel time slot filler called “How The World Ends” includes End Times ideas. It’s pretty bleak, but there’s reason for hope. The people predicting the end of the world all have something in common:

SERIOUS PEOPLE KNOW RESULTS FOR BAD BEHAVIOR

July 27, 2022 by

Serious people don’t all walk around in their academic garb. You won’t find them all on TV or radio. Sometimes a serious man or woman is just down the street. Not my street, but some street in another neighborhood. Why?

UN-AMERICAN ACCUSATION BASED ON COMMON DECENCY

June 4, 2022 by

Who gets tagged with an un-American accusation? Asking for gun control in the wake of mass shootings? That’s un-American accusation? Talking about the Jan.6 insurrection? Also worthy of an un-American accusation? I find no joy in human suffering; animal suffering doesn’t make my day either. Personal suffering up close is a whole ‘nother deal.

MEDICAL ADVICE? HOW TO SPOT THE WRONG STUFF EARLY

February 18, 2022 by

Medical advice used to come from squirrelly sources. Not actual squirrels but just as nutty. Today it comes from trusted men and women elected to high office. And doctors. Which brings up the element of trust. Whose medical advice is better for people?

DIE WRITING, OR DIE TRYING?

January 9, 2022 by

While you’re thinking about a clever excuse of an answer, let’s keep it simple: You can’t respect yourself if you […]

GOOD INTENTIONS START TOMORROW

September 30, 2021 by

Why do good intentions pave the way to hell? Because of the follow up. More precise, it’s the lack of follow up. Say the right thing, then do the right thing and you stay out of hell. Does this sound right? Sounds like accountability to me. So why the gap between what is said and […]

COVID SURRENDER WORKS BEST FOR QUITTERS

August 15, 2021 by

Doing the covid surrender is easy: No vaccine, no mask? No problem. But why not try a little harder? Why not show some willingness to work together? After all, remember when you asked a friend help and they showed up long enough to quit when it got hard? Are you still friends? Do you still […]

FEELING IT YET? GIVE IT TIME BROTHERS AND SISTERS

July 12, 2021 by

Feeling old is a state of mind. At least that’s what you hear from old people. Along with the idea that there’s a younger person is still living in what appears to be an aging body. That’s a state of mind, too. “I’m still eighteen, even if I’m seventy.” Is this even a healthy attitude? […]
