Book Recommendation – Dark Matter

After seeing this book come up as a recommendation on Goodreads, Facebook and Tik Tok, I finally had the chance to read Dark Matter by Blake Crouch. I was on the fence as to whether or not I wanted to read it. I wasn't sure I could get into the "sci-fi" of it. I kept … Continue reading Book Recommendation – Dark Matter →

The “News” Has Become a Waste of Time.

Remember when the news was actually news? It seems to me that the word "newsworthy" means nothing today. It amazes me that there are some genuine news stories that need to be reported, but news outlets choose to offer nothing but "fluff." If they are not leading off with something geared toward scaring you to … Continue reading The “News” Has Become a Waste of Time. →

Ladies and Gentlemen – Mr. Eddie Deezen!

Eddie Deezen I have been meaning to do a little interview with Eddie Deezen for a couple of years. I was always afraid to ask. You see, we've been friends on Facebook for some time and I've found that we share a lot in common. He has shared a lot of great personal stories about … Continue reading Ladies and Gentlemen – Mr. Eddie Deezen! →

Friday Photo Flashback

There are times when I really miss having a real picture to hold on to. Back when MySpace and Facebook first got off the ground, we all seemed to post our pictures on those sites not knowing that over time, they would lose quality and become more pixilated. That's the case with my photo today. … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →

Officer Zuckerberg Strikes Again and Germany

I have had this blog since 2018. There have been plenty of times when I have shared links to blogs on Facebook. I've never had an issue, until Tuesday. On Tuesday, you may recall, I did a Happy Birthday post about singer Emily West. She and I are friends on Facebook, so I posted the … Continue reading Officer Zuckerberg Strikes Again and Germany →

Friday Photo Flashback

This Sunday (6/9) will mark 36 years since I graduated from high school. Coincidentally, I graduated from college with my Associates Degree 25 years later (11 years ago). I mention this because there have been so many graduation posts on Facebook over the last week or two. Many of my friends have been celebrating the … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →

This Simply Amazes Me

This came up in my Facebook memories this week and I thought it would be cool to share. In my Bible classes, the pastor/teacher always talks about how amazing the Bible is. The fact that it was preserved throughout history and we can hold it in our hands today and read those words in itself … Continue reading This Simply Amazes Me →

Silly (and Spooky) Kid Stuff

If you are a parent, you know that your children are always a good source of stories to share. Here are a few of mine from the past few days: Tea Party Gone Bad While Andrew took a nap recently, Ella and I were in the living room playing with her Disney Princess Barbie dolls. … Continue reading Silly (and Spooky) Kid Stuff →

Saturday Morning Kindness

With a lack of motivation to write tonight, I was scrolling Facebook and found an interesting story a friend had posted. I thought it was worth sharing here. I'm not 100% on the source, but from what I was able to find, the story was shared from someone named John Perricone. It seems that the … Continue reading Saturday Morning Kindness →
