When I was attending New Holland Baptist Church, my Sunday School class took a 12 week course titled “Experiencing God”. I recommend that anyone who has not taken it to do so – it is well written and easy to glean information from. During one of the weeks (week 3 maybe?) we had as assignment
Footprints: The Measure Of A Man
I wish I could wear Nike shoes. Growing up I had to wear “jeepers creepers”. Many of you may be too young to remember those, but I would describe them as the combat boots of athletic shoes. Yeah, and with a name like that, there was an awful lot of good humored teasing that occurred
Oh No! “Poetry”
In my soon to be 50 years on planet earth, I have worn many hats and been called many things. I have fancied myself many things also, although most of them were nothing more than an over inflated ego just waiting for something sharp to come along and pop the bubble. As a student I
Easter Trees 2.0
I will preface this post with an advance notice. In no way do I mean any disrespect to any of these artists, much less any member of the Holy Trinity. In fact, those three and myself are on a first name basis, and I have it on good authority that they have a GREAT sense
Easter Trees 1.5
BTW… To any and all who are interested… Anytime I get a chance to brag on how awesome the state of Georgia is, (especially the town of Athens), I gotta do it. Athens has the distinction of having a tree that actually owns itself. How cool is that??? You can read about it here. https://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/11703
Easter Trees
Well – today is Easter, and I don’t want to work too hard on anything, but this I consider a labor of love. It will probably be a two day post because it may get complicated, long, and kinda controversial. But, hey – nothing ventured, nothing gained, right? This may require some of you to
Big Bang Or Singularity
I had a somewhat serious auto accident a couple of years ago that most folks say I am fortunate to have lived through… I tend to use the word “blessed” instead of fortunate, because besides a destroyed knee and a stent in one of my kidneys, I am otherwise ok. I am living proof that
Red Dirt vs Red Clay
After a 25 year hiatus from formal education, I finally got one of them pieces of paper that said I could read and write and stuff. One of my 3 majors was religion. I have always been interested in it – from a distance. I harbor some, ummm, interesting ideas when it comes to religion
One Creator, Many Artists
Pablo Picasso has a famous quote that reads: “Good artists copy, great artists steal.” So… Based on his quote, how is one able to separate the “good” from the “great” when viewing their art? I tend to take a different tack when asking that question. Each artist has muse(s) or influences that affect their art
Life’s Work And Its Importance
Mark Twain was one of the most iconic American writers in history. He also penned numerous quotes of wit and wisdom that are as timeless as they are funny and/or important. One of my favorites: “The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out
