U. S. society and elsewhere dumps us on the trash heap, beginning as early as age 41. By the time we’re 65, we’re considered pretty worthless unless we’ve been called to high leadership positions in our church or community, or rarely, in our employment field. Thank goodness God doesn’t see … Read more…
Anyone who truly believes or even hopes the highest levels of Heaven are reserved for white supremacists needs to start modifying that opinion ASAP. It simply isn’t true. God loves His children equally even when they behave like the foul-mouthed bullies that so many of them are. But He will … Read more…
Laughing, smirking and gloating over the mistakes of others? Let’s not do that. It will bite us in the butt faster than anything else. Plus we won’t see it coming, of course, being attacked from behind. Think a bad-apple cop deserved to be killed? Maybe he did. Maybe he didn’t. … Read more…

Thank you, dear Ancestor, from the bottom of my heart. You won’t be surprised, but you launched my career as a writer! You gave me the genetics for it, and then I sought education on the finer points of writing, including deliberate rule-breaking. Yet until recently I didn’t realize what … Read more…
Due to some irritating happenings lately, I’ve been wondering why it is that too often people don’t listen when we’re trying to tell them something important. They only hear what they want to hear (and often only see what they expect to see). Now and then we’re all guilty of … Read more…
Feelings, good or bad, make us what we are, make us human. That said, I strongly disagree with those who insist that members of the animal kingdom do not have any feelings. They do, as anyone who has truly observed cats, dogs, horses, elephants and other “creatures” can testify. Not … Read more…
None of us know what the world will be like in 50 years and most can’t even imagine it. Will we even care then what legacy we have left behind us? I hope so! Those of us alive even less than 50 years ago have seen astonishing changes in medicine, … Read more…
