People want to know the future. Well, the good parts anyway. And we have plenty of nut jobs out there who can predict the future. (at least after it happens.) Trump will be a two-term Pres...
Common Sense Has Died
There are a few basic rules of common sense that have died or maybe failed to be taught. Don’t run with scissors, never point a gun at anyone or anything you don’t intend to shoot and do what th...
You Can Not Rewrite History
Okay from the start, I am a proud southern born and raised son of the confederacy. That does not make me responsible for slavery in America nor the Civil War. But it is part of my heritage and...
The Sky Is Falling
Okay, folks enough of this nonsense– I can find data to support any of the millions half/un/truths I so choose. What confuses me is why the Democrats and Republicans would agree to pull the woo...
The Unknown
I don’t like to think about things that fall into the unknown. I am not sure where I picked up this little trait but I remember having it since I was a kid. If I saw blood, I was dying. I’m no...
Prophet Of Doom
I may be on dangerous ground here, but I am not sure we have any modern-day Prophets. If we do they sure made themself scarce lately. Interpreting what has already happened doesn’t count. Almo...
Please, For The Love of God
I have always found that phrase a little odd. But if I take it at its face value maybe not. The answer is right in front of my nose. For the love of God…PLEASE. Maybe not so hard to understan...
Right or Left and Oak Street?
Moral dilemmas are situations in which the decision-maker must consider two or more moral values or duties but can only honor one of them; thus, the individual will violate at least one important...
Hope Spring Eternal or the Earth is off it's axis.
Just as I told some friends of mine back when the toilet paper shortage, people are more concerned with wiping their butts than eating. Well not anymore. Suddenly we now have a predicted meat s...
The case for stupidity
I’ll take Stupidity for $500 Please Alex. ” Is there some way we can do that? Inject disinfectant to kill the COVID-19 virus?” “What is How Stupid Can Americans Be?” Correct for $500.00 If...
Scrooged
“Every idiot who goes about with ‘Merry Christmas’ on his lips, should be boiled with his own pudding, and buried with a stake of holly through his heart. He should!”---- I love Scrooge. I h...
Chapter and Verse Please!
My faithful readers, you know I am sometimes waaaaaay ooooout in left field, and march to the beat of my own drum. Today I am going to tackle the religious right. (or wrong as I like to call the...
Corona Virus Update 2022
It’s July 4th, 2022. Utter Silence! Deafening as it maybe will be welcomed. What will the Broadcast news focus on once this pandemic comes to an end? Much like the Mike Bloomberg Ads of 2020,...
We're All In This Together
Who dreams up these catchphrases? We are not all in this together. Some are at high points, some at low, and others in between. Money dictates where we are in this. Common sense keeps us safe...
God's In Control Of It All
If the statement made is correct, then God must have allowed COVID-19 to spread and kill. Okay, don’t like that thought, let’s go with this theology. God couldn’t stop COVID-19. In which case ...
Don't Tempt God
Leave to the “Bible Thumpers” to get it stirred up. First, let me say this, there is a fine line between Faith and Stupidity. Next, look I get it. Some of you believe God for any and everythin...
Common Sense
I will make this short and to the point. I do not question anyone’s faith. Until it starts to affect me. If you want to believe God will protect you from the Coronavirus, then fine, I pray He ...
How Far Does Grace Reach?
These are confusing times in Christianity. We are taught to love one another, to accept everyone, and judge no one. The Golden Rule applies to everyone, except those of different race, religion...
The Meaning of Life
The proverbial question, what is the meaning of life? It has taken me almost 62 years to understand that question. At least to me, it is not so much the meaning but what makes me happy in life....
Reality
Reality is hard to face at times. But then it’s not like we have a choice. Living in the land of denial doesn’t work. And when it comes to my Faith, some days it just seems to be on vacation. ...
Reality
Reality is had to face at times. But then it’s not like we have a choice. Living in the land of denial doesn’t work. And when it comes to my Faith, some days it just seems to be on vacation. ...
A House Divided
Christ taught this principle in Matthew 12 and Abraham Lincoln used the same idea after he had accepted the Illinois Republican Party’s nomination as that state’s US senator. Both men were wise ...
Silence
Somedays there just isn’t anything to say. It’s not life is too hard or that everything is going my way. Just sometimes there is silence inside my head. As is today. I shall enjoy it. ...
Do Unto Others...And Then Run.
Revenge is a dish best served cold. Unless you are the one dispensing the dish and then it’s more like some like it hot. Nothing worse than a luke-warm beer. (okay there are millions of things...
Death with Dignity
Okay, faithful readers, you know how I feel about death. I will not go gently into that good night. No, I will fight the death angel all the way to the Pearly Gates. Streets of God sounds nice...
