I’ve learned something quite revealing and disturbing about myself in recent times. I have a real problem loving people I disagree with. I suppose that isn’t much of a revolutionary concept in the end. I am sure everyone born with the same affliction I have (being human) are in the same boat. The problem is that as a believer in Christ I am not given the option of hating people.

One of my few positive traits though is I have always been real good at introspection and trying to look at myself for who I really am. When I began ...   more »

Just finished shopping at Publix here in Nashville. Publix is a grocery store that is way over priced, but its worth it because they taught all their employees to fake that they care you’re there. As I was leaving I had no fewer than four employees tell me to have a nice day on the way out.

A group of midgets has decided they want the word "midget" banned from public airwaves. They find the word offensive. Problem? I don’t see one, so now what?

Where did we ever come up with the romantic notion that the best way to die is in our sleep?

First things first, when it comes to dying, there really isn’t a “good” way to go. Why? Because you’re dead!

Dying in your sleep, I believe, has a lot of potential pitfalls. The first being if you die in your sleep, when do you first realize your dead? At least in a car accident you can see it coming! You scream throw up your hands, have your life pass before your eyes, and enter into the death place knowing how ...   more »

I come from a different age. Sure things may be “safer” nowadays, but they are definitely less enjoyable. Today’s kids have grown up in an age of paranoia. When I was growing up one of the things that passed for fun was lying out in the sun. We actually used the phrase “I’m gonna go layout.” This was a time where sun products were designed to enhance and enable the suns power, not fear it. This was a time where we wore sun-TAN lotion as opposed to sun-SCREEN lotion.

Suntan lotion’s purpose was to demonstrate you actually were IN the ...   more »
