I don’t have a sweet tooth. I have sweet teeth. I like almost all forms of sugar and couldn’t care a whit about all those posts on Facebook about how sugar is killing us! [noise of slump as I collapse on the keyboard … just kidding!] Without sugar, what would life be? Would it be… Read more »

“Kiss” Begins with What?
“Every kiss begins with __________.” If you filled in the blank with “slobber” or “tongue”, well, I’m not sure whether to congratulate you for having been unsullied by Madison Avenue or wonder just what you were thinking. After all, who kisses with the tongue first? It’s lips, right? At least, that’s how it is where… Read more »
Lost in a Food Desert
Great stretches of our country—or maybe it’s small stretches of our great country are—no I think I had … never mind. The thing I want to write about today is “food deserts”. Now, some of you are thinking that sounds pretty good because you read it as “food dessert” and who doesn’t like dessert? Oh,… Read more »
A Shot of Crassitude
If you are one of the people who watched the Grammy Awards on Sunday night and thought the best performance of the night was by singer Natalie Grant who walked out on the “show”, don’t feel too bad. It just means you have taste. Or forgot the Grammys were on. Don’t feel too bad about… Read more »
Logo or Logos?
It’s pretty common for churches these days to have a slogan. We want it to be short (so it can be remembered) and encouraging (so people will want to remember it). Something like … “A family place” “Worship in peace” “A place to call home” “Where Jesus is Lord!” “Taste and see that the Lord… Read more »

It’s the story of Burt Cottage, a tramp pilot with a beat-up sea-plane who is searching… Read more »
Whatever Happened to HIPAA?
As a volunteer with both our local hospice and our local hospital, I have to take a class once a year about patient confidentiality. It is so drilled into our heads that we are not to discuss our patients’ medical condition(s), name or even beverage preference that I am afraid to even tell my wife… Read more »
Just Shove it ALL in a Cup
According to legend, it was a man named Earl who invented the hamburger. Or, possibly, the sandwich. Living in a cave (or, maybe a castle), he was tired of getting the sauce from the meat all over his hands. He first thought of wrapping the meat in an old towel, but his wife was always… Read more »
World’s Largest Concrete Swimming Pool
One of my earliest memories involves going to Cisco, Texas, which is east of Abilene on I-20. (If you don’t know where Abilene is, you may have to Google it; I can’t do everything for you.) If you’ve ever been to Cisco, you may be wondering why I would remember going there. When I was… Read more »
Photographic Memory
I like taking pictures, but I have never been particularly good at it. I don’t feel too bad about this now, because I have come to realize that most people with cameras have about the same skill level as I do. There are a few people who are really good, and the rest of us… Read more »
