DUMB HEADLINES Dumb headlines (and articles) fill America’s news feeds. One can hardly read the news on any given day without at least one. Each of these articles was written with an agenda and never left the agenda plantation to explore other possibilities. Even if I were to agree with their conclusions I could not agree with their …

GUEST POST from Don – Marathons +
MARATHONS + Read the history of this race of endurance and you will find that the distance from the battle for which the race was named to the place where news was delivered was about 24 miles. But it was the English Monarchy which determined that 26.2 miles was right. Early Olympic races couldn’t settle on a …

GUEST POST from Don – Management
MANAGEMENT WON’T SAVE YOU This is a little fact which will save you time and money: Don’t count on management to be your savior. That’s not in the job description. The job of management is to get things done in an organized manner. Efficiency is not required. Example: Microsoft Windows. Well organized, but not what I would call efficient. Don’t get …

GUEST POST from Don: We Are More
WE ARE MORE Studying humans, researchers have found that we are easily influenced. More importantly, we more easily influence others than we give ourselves credit for. For instance, “paying it forward” (I hate the game). I don’t owe you anything and I dislike purposely influencing someone else either. Nevertheless, multiple studies have shown that a simple intentional …

He is a married man with Asperger’s Syndrome who is trying to be a better husband (“The Journal of Best Practices”) Probably EVERY husband should read it because whether we are on the Spectrum or not, …

Thursday Truths – Oct 3, 2024 Edition
As always, these memes reflect topics and views I find interesting. They are not my typical fare; I will post on many subjects, in no particular order or form, aimed at no particular person(s) – actually not “aimed” at all, and will cross over into the political, societal, and historical arenas with a heavy dose …

GUEST POST from Don: Preaching
PREACHING I hold a very high standard to preaching. It must perform one task very well. That task is to say what God says. If God rebukes, then the message is one of rebuke. If God declares his love, then it is a message of encouragement. The Word of God is the message to be spoken. That is, the one …

GUEST POST from Don: Exit Plans, pt III
EXIT PLANS (Part III) Psalms 55:6-8 NIV says: “I said, ‘Oh that I had the wings of a dove! I would fly away and be at rest – I would flee far away and stay in the desert. Selah. I would hurry to my place of shelter, and from the tempest and storm.’ “ So many issues! How to prepare …

GUEST POST from Don: People Want Solved
POLITICS and what People Want Solved Once again, election season is upon us and “the sky is falling!.” Whether Democrat, Independent, Republican (or none of the above) there are things we all want. Once again, the things which WE want have been pushed to the background. Candidates want us to get hyped up about single issues (like abortion, …
