I was asked a question recently about my favorite ice cream as a kid. And there it was---another summer memory. One thing led to another (and to this story) and prompted even more thoughts that hadn't come to mind in a long time.
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.
Life is unpredictable. Physical and mental health can change like the weather. We go through periods of splendid health and then have an accident or an illness or even a debilitating disease. No matter how healthy or lucky an individual is, everyone has phases of emotional and physical highs and lows. No one remains on an even keel for their entire life. We all have to “roll with the punches” until we can regain our equilibrium to make necessary adjustments in our lives.
Introduction
I am the type of person that would move mountains to find the truth even if it meant risking my life. Some people would describe me as nosy, snoopy, meddlesome, intrusive, or maybe even go as far as saying I am annoying. But I do not see it as that, I see myself as a liberator of the truth or a truth vigilante and may be a tad persistent at times. Still you have to go with what you’ve got.
It's almost dark. I look to the west after the sun sets and then I see it. Just the thinnest curve of silver in the sky. It's the beginning of a crescent moon and the start of another cycle of moon phases. Each night the curve will get larger. Here it goes, heading toward a full circle and then back to nothing again. Every 29.5 days. That is how long it takes the moon to complete its cycle. I've always liked looking for it in the sky. I can remember searching for it on dark nights when I put the chickens "to bed" back on the farm.
About once a month I shred documents. I’m not sure if “documents” is the right word. What I mainly shred is junk mail that has my name and address. Years ago I saw a report on the news about criminals gathering information from garbage cans; they’d stop in front of someone’s house, pull out all the bags, and later sort through everything to find usable information. And it was many years ago, because I
Could the Declaration of Independence, with all the liberating ideas imbedded in it, be adopted by Congress today when the critical race theory (CRT), cancel culture, and “wokeness” dominate the political scene and social media?
The Euro Cup 2020 Championship (postponed by 12 months due to the COVID-19 pandemic) proved to be an amazing nail-biter of a soccer match between England and Italy. Both teams were under a lot of pressure to secure victory as Italy hadn’t won in 53 years and England never won, only making it to the semifinals twice in the tournament’s 63-year history. The last time England had won a major international tournament was the 1966 World Cup.
