I saw this can of PVC cement inside the job trailer of the East Cox Road Substation we are building in Marshall County, Mississippi, near Memphis. Someone had placed it on a shelf in the job trailer. It caught my eye. I started to throw it away, but the more I looked at it, the…
Here’s a link to an article from today’s LA Times which I picked up off the Drudge Report: http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-pol-ca-pot-tax-reduction-california-legislature-20180315-story.html The headline reads: California considers lower taxes on pot to help new legal industry compete with black market It seems California’s pot dealers and producers are having a hard time competing against pot sold on the…
I loved my Great Uncle Phil, who was my grandmother’s half-brother. I also loved his wife, my Aunt Lucy, and their beautiful daughter, Phyllis. Uncle Phil and Aunt Lucy crossed the bar a long time ago, with his beloved Lucy crossing many years earlier than he. Cousin Phyllis is doing well, I hear, but I…
I am burning up to write political commentary. I am not satisfied with a lot of things. I am resisting the urge successfully, so far. Politics is about life. We are all political beings. Not all of us need to comment on it, though. Perhaps it’s best if some of us don’t. And, even if…

It’s as good as a fresh donut and far more satisfying. We seek to confirm our own biases on every level. This is an understandable human characteristic, though not an enviable one. Those who are best at presenting arguments for their own causes have studied the thoughts of the best of those who disagree with…
It was just a simple Facebook post about being in Houston for my two month checkup. It was followed by a message from Tennessee’s husband, Sam. “We are here and would like to meet up if we can,” Sam wrote. That stopped me in my tracks. Tennessee and Sam and I have been Facebook friends…
Nearly one year ago, I wrote in my blog about my church exploding. See 2/21/17 BOOM! Today, it is exploding again, but this time it is a mere boomlet, a firecracker. To be brusque and crude, a mere fart in a hurricane of world apostasy. Instead of focusing on serving the physical and spiritual needs…
Wednesday, January 31, 2018 was a long day. It was so long that it has extended over into February. As wound up as I was, I never settled down enough to sleep, so tomorrow began with me thinking it is still today: unusual for me. It is not unusual for me to go to sleep…
Let’s admit it. We all like it here. We like the Facebook world, where all our lives seem larger than they really are. We like the Twitterverse where we see how many followers we can amass. We like our Instagram followers. We like the endorphin release we get when we get lots of “likes” on…
