When I was a teenager I used to carry a Bible in my back pocket. It was great to have it available to read at a moment’s notice. It was the King James Translation. Back then it was the only full Bible available in the appropriate size, and I wanted more than just a New […]
When I see something at half price, I figure the store is having difficulty selling whatever it is. Too many in stock, not enough demand. Does this mean the COVID-19 pandemic is officially over? I’m a little surprised that face masks would be marked down so drastically. Remember 2020? It wasn’t all that long ago. […]
On Fridays in 2024 we are revisiting posts from the same date in the early years of this blog. I had forgotten this one from September 13, 2015. The case was huge on Twitter and Facebook. Depending on your slant, either a Christian was jailed for her faith or a scoff-law was put in her […]

Unlike the debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump in June, it is unlikely tonight will see either candidate will be forced out of contention due to their performance. Republicans though […]
Actually, the day wasn’t that bad. i just figured I had to use this meme sometime. The alternative was a post whining about public servants whining. We’ll save that for another day.
If you have a smart phone in your pocket or purse, you are carrying more computing power than the United States used to put a man on the moon. Times have changed. What are you doing with all that power?
On this Flashback Friday we go back to a post from September 6, 2014. At the time I visited this German war cemetery I never dreamed that three years later I would be living in Germany. It is a solemn place and a stark reminder that there were no winners in the First World War. […]
