What do you enjoy doing most in your leisure time? I love playing video games, spending the day on the beach, having a couple pours of a really nice bourbon and spending time with family but in truth, almost all my time is leisure, so any of these will make a great day for me.…
We Blew It.
Or should it be titled The Gospel In A Nutshell? The human race had been spared from death and sin, and all we had to do was remain obedient. I believe that sin was present on earth in the garden because the serpent was there. Being obedient does not mean that we lose free will,…
Unmet Expectations.
There are several things that I expected to be much more of a problem than they actually turned out to be. Disappointment is probably not the right word, but my expectations from the hundreds of hours in front of the television in the 60’s had me preparing for quicksand, comas and amnesia. While I was…
Building an uprising.
I have always wondered how you convince people to agree to fight to the death in a war that they will have little or nothing to gain from doing so. An example for me is the Civil War. Most in the south didn’t have slaves and most in the north could not have cared less,…
The Act of Growing Old.
Things are going to get wrinkly. Stuff is going to randomly start hurting. Hair is going to begin growing in places that everyone can clearly see but you. They won’t tell you. If you don’t write things down, you are gonna have people in your picture box who you will not remember their name. You’re…
1956.
Share what you know about the year you were born. I know little of the year I was born. I suppose that then as now, I reconcile what I know with that particular time through my current political ideology, and with President Eisenhower in firm control of the world stage, we were at the apex…
Tit for Tat.
Your side rejoices over my sorrow. Does that make it appropriate for me to rejoice over your sorrow? I have a difficult time celebrating over someone else’s destruction. It isn’t biblical. Our president has been wronged by so many liberals, and I’m just sorry that he finds it impossible to stand on the higher ground.…
The Last Days.
Are we actually in them, the last days? I have no idea really, but I do have an opinion. Huge surprise I’m sure, so here we go. Let me start by pointing out that I am quite obviously not a prophet, so I don’t make predictions or prophecy’s, but if you are interested in opinion,…
A difficult choice.
Beach or mountains? Which do you prefer? Why? Almost all of my family lived in Tennessee in 2020, most lived in Knoxville. We put our little cabin and small farm up for sale and were moving. The choice of where to was a difficult one and had been narrowed to Knoxville or somewhere south of…
The First Stone.
How difficult it must be to cast that first stone. It should be difficult shouldn’t it? The taking of a human life. I believe that we tend to read over many things in scripture, and I wonder if this event that was covered in John chapter eight might just be an example of that. The…
