I had decided that I was not going to mess with fools, but then I realized that I could not get away from myself. There is no way I could totally remove myself from the “fools” around me because I am just as big of a fool as anyone. We often use the term fool […]
Two vowels and 3 consonants, of course that adds up to 5 letters. But the 5 I am talking about form a word that has plagued mankind for over 6,000 years. I think it is safe to say that nearly every bad decision and, consequently, sin can be attributed to this one word. What one […]
Looking at the title could bring up a number of ideas about what this is going to be about. Hopefully, you won’t be disappointed to find out it is a book review of a book that I got for free from Waterbrook Multnomah because I agreed to write a review for it after I read […]
Something I just realized today, and if you already knew this, please don’t spoil it for me, I need to learn it the hard way, if we hang around people who are not as good as we are at something, we begin to think we are better than they are. Before I go off and […]

If you look on the About page, you’ll see it said that what you see here are thoughts that stayed in one of our heads long enough to be put into words. But what happens to all the thoughts that get away (fish story thoughts), or that we never realize are there (ninja thoughts)? The […]
For several years, I have been stashing thoughts like you see on this blog. It started out being for a website that I worked on, but it continued from there. What you are about to read, should you choose to accept it, was born out of that process. When you get up in the morning, […]
