A Bit Of Poetry
A Bit Of Poetry Can I have a little fun? Would you honestly mind? There’s a point I must make, but I won’t be unkind, I was thinking of white skin, black skin, yellow and brown, And all the racist remarks which are going around, Like it really matters, the color of one’s skin, As…

You WILL Believe
So you’re pretty sure you don’t believe in God, eh? Does it make you feel better about yourself knowing there are others like you? I’d like you to know one thing. You will believe. So will those who believe as you. And it may happen sooner than you think. Regardless of the reasons you can…

TSA Security Officers and Preachers
Just recently I noticed a similarity between TSA security officers and preachers. Maybe more than one. Yeah, more than one. Besides the fact that both have a job to do, there’s something about TSA men and women that makes me think of preachers. TSA folks are, at times, in your face. Why? Because they don’t…

Damned Prisoners
Have you ever been inside a maximum security prison? I have. Years ago I visited a young man from our home town. After driving about three hours to his place of incarceration, I was able to spend about 45 minutes with him. At least he was able to have visitors. Just being inside those cold,…

Sloppy Joe Christians
I just love Sloppy Joes. Do you? There are a number of ways to make them. Here’s just one that I found on the Internet. Take a couple pounds of 93% lean hamburger, and mix in some onion, catsup, brown sugar, garlic, green pepper, salt, ground black pepper, mustard, and (if you really want to…

Most of what you’ll see advertised are used items; things no longer wanted or needed by the seller. Things the seller has no more use…

Get Mad
Let me ask you a simple, hopefully non-threatening, question. Okay? Have you ever been so mad at someone, for whatever reason, that you stormed out of the room, slamming the door behind you? Yes? Great! No, it’s not great that you lost your temper, broke the door, and scared the daylights out of every one…

Delusional Strongholds
There’s a fine line between perception and delusion. One definition of perception is: “the way you think about or understand someone or something.” Delusion, on the other hand, is: “a belief that is not true : a false idea.” What happens when a person perceives something as truth, and ignores every ounce of evidence which…

Civil Rebellion
One of my favorite movies is the first National Treasure, with Nicolas Cage. I don’t know how many times I’ve watched it. At least a dozen, I’m sure. I especially like the part where Ben and Riley are looking at the Declaration of Independence, and Ben tells Riley he’s going to steal it. Ben, reading…

Sex and Love
SEX. It’s used to sell clothes, coffee, cars, and sometimes certain celebrities. Or maybe magazines, movies, and makeup. Some folks just plain use it. To some, it’s a pry bar, others as a treat for good behavior. Kind of like training a dog to learn a trick; once they get it down they are rewarded…
