On Music
Most everyone loves music. There are some lyrics or rhythms that make us respond by bouncing, dancing and, sometimes, even trying to sing along. My wife and I will be riding somewhere and out of the blue I will start (try) to sing a song, a song I will only know a line or two…
On Just Not the Whole Truth/or Exaggeration
Have you ever pretended to be someone else to get information you needed or wanted? I remember laying in the hospital knowing or believing I was going to get to go home that day and yet it was sneaking up on the afternoon already and nobody had come by. I so wanted to do what…

On Being A Big Boy
Sometimes even old men revert back to childish behavior either in a playful mood with their spouse or times when they are jovial with their children or grandchildren. I am 83 years old and have some health problems, be that as it may, there are times that I enjoy behaving like a delinquent. When my…
On Big and Little Things
A man of God had a particular mission to perform. The Lord told him just what he must do, and just what he must refrain from doing. He could not go wrong if he followed instructions. The tragedy is that he strictly carried out the most difficult part, and failed in the easiest part of…
