Talk is cheap. A penny for your thoughts. Your two cents. How did words get so undervalued? I guess I could be crusty and blame pictures, since one of them is worth a 1,000 words. But pictures are inanimate, they didn’t decide the rate of exchange. So what happened? I doubt that the exact course […]
Who hasn’t dreamed of becoming great during their lifetime? Whether it be as an athlete, public figure, hot dog vendor, whatever, we’ve all had dreams of being, or at least doing something, great. What if that’s the wrong way to go about it? What if the word we’re looking for is greater? Then you’d see […]
I did not know that. No one told me. Why didn’t you say something? I have said all of these, and other versions of them. I hear about something, thinking it’s the first time anyone has ever talked about it when I was around, and want an answer. The thing is, I very likely was […]
When I first looked at the title of “The Book of Common Sense for a Successful Life”, I missed the “for a Successful Life” part. I thought it would be a different type of book, but it turned out OK. “The Book of Common Sense for a Successful Life” is written to give the readers […]
It’s all in my head, the awesomeness. I’m sure you could find someone who will tell you that I am good at something, a few could even do it with a straight face. But when you take all that I can and can’t do and average them together, I am, in fact, average. I admit […]
Unstuck, by Arnie Cole and Michael Ross is a great book, and really explains how to get through a problem all of us face at some point. What? You mean you want more? Um, OK. All of us enter a time in our Christian walk where we seem to be caught in a mud puddle. […]
It’s so easy to complain. The TV show is terrible, the news is always bad, this porridge that I’m mooching is too hot. I cannot say that I am complaint free, but I can still voice what I think, because I’m going to be talking to myself as much as anyone else. It is “natural” […]
Coming Apart, The State of White America, 1960-2010 is a long read. Not so much because of its length, but because of the information it holds. Charles Murray did a thorough job of researching, and then relating how one segment of America changed from how they started, to how they are now. Though whites are […]
I was driving home on the interstate recently and had to pass through a construction zone. They weren’t actively working that day, but the signs reducing the speed from 70 to 55 were still up. And I seem to have been the only one that was running 55. That got me to thinking (the fact […]
When I first looked at Moonblood, I did not realize that it was considered a romance book. I found that out when I read the back cover. I’m not a romance book type, so I was a little wary of the story at that point. I started reading it, and the wariness became unfounded. Yes, […]
