I did something last night that I would pretty much never do by choice. I bought yet another television. Why? Suffice it to say I have progeny who do a fine job of destroying things. After the grand unboxing of the cheap, relatively nondescript item in question, I set about making it function. It was […]

How do you in the United States (at or relatively near the “poverty level” in particular) think it would feel to be filthy rich? What if I told you that by comparison to much of the rest of the World’s population, you know? You see, it turns out that in very few places in the […]

Many people are prone to look at a person like me and immediately chant the “No negativity” mantra. The funny thing is, I’m not a particularly negative person.

There are subjects one would assume are “done to death.” And maybe that’s a fair statement for the one I’m intending to address with this post. That having been said, I also firmly believe there are things that cannot be said too often. Further, there are differences in presentation that may cause a given point […]

One of the rarest things I have experienced in my neither greatly short, nor particularly long life, are people who I can account “kindred spirits.” This is rather amazing when you consider that I ought to have a great deal in common with folks who are Christians on the basis that we claim Christ as […]
