I recently had a long and entertaining conversation with my best friend, Stoney.  For some time now I have set my flat phone on the table in front of me and turned the speaker on when engaged in lengthy calls.  It saves the gristle in my elbows and ears from stress.  I even drop the phone in my shirt pocket and talk while doing chores, when a call lasts very long.  Well, that’s another plus for those walkie-talkie devices.  And that’s what I did while talking to him the other day: started the dishwasher, put clothes from the washing machine into the dryer

Over the last few weeks I’ve noticed fewer and fewer people wearing masks when they’re in stores.  Several times I’ve been the only one wearing a mask when I stopped at a small business of convenience.  At first, I didn’t like masks because no matter what brand I bought the things were always trying to rip my ears off.  They hurt, and I hated them for that.  But then my sister, Craftster, sent me her homemade masks.  They are larger to begin with, but also have adjustable ear loops.  Ah, the difference is amazing.  I can only liken it to switching from sh

My wife’s cats, Stirfry and Tempura (she has other names for them) and my granddaughter’s cats, Gloves and Slippers (she has other names for them) are constantly testing my patience.  If I forget to snug my anti-cat cardboard (a custom fit rectangle of cardboard covered with double-sticky tape) onto the seat of my recliner before I go to bed, Slippers will sleep there.  He knows he shouldn’t, because I’ve explained it with a can of air on many mornings, but he will still do it.  Also, I’ve caught both Stirfry and Gloves on the kitchen counter drinking fro

It’s always appreciated when you can gain the mentorship of someone who has travelled the road you intend to embark on. As an entertainer, or small business owner, this is critical as it marks the difference between hoping and succeeding. However, what if you can’t get access to such a person? 

Not long ago my wife informed me that we were changing our service and getting new phones.  She explained the reason, but I still don’t know why.  I think her need to acquire the latest phones of this future is another of her hobbies.  Or, by the very nature of the product, she has to buy new to keep up with the technology.

The life of David in the Bible is one of the more popular stories in the Christian faith. Of all the individuals other than Christ, I would guess there have been more messages about him than any other character within the word of God. There is a huge difference between the way we observe and judge with our natural senses and the way God perceives everything through His perfect spiritual wisdom and the key to our success is learning to see as God sees.
