In the “twinkling of an eye” everything will be made new; so no one will know the old when made new. Nothing to be embarrassed about…ever again. Great performing violinist Niccolo Paganini, may we all be like him He had a good attitude in his act Minus one string, two strings,… Continue reading I know you’re a jealous God, but do you have to be with me every minute of the day? Even in the bathroom? And with all of those angels around. Come on!
Woo! Halloween is scary and fun. But if you want a real scare, ask someone to wallpaper a room with you. You’ll see how scary things get. And if they actually DO help you, they’ll complain so much you’ll wish you’d have done it yourself…
Dear sister, I’m patient with you, and it’s a miracle We’re not alone in the universe, you know as evidenced by how we spend our time… Who you hang around with is who you’re like
“Are you doing anything special this weekend?” a co-worker asked me. “I’m going into the city,” I said. “Me, too!” he said. “I’ll look for you.”
I’m going to the city. But not to see the Knicks… I love the National Basketball Association, but my favorite team is the San Antonio Spurs. Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili are their star players, and they have role-players on their team who play smaller roles, but they all play… Continue reading “Are you doing anything special this weekend?” a co-worker asked me. “I’m going into the city,” I said. “Me, too!” he said. “I’ll look for you.”
“Look at that pumpkin!” I said about a co-worker’s jack o’ lantern. “Isn’t that scary?” she said. “That’s how I look,” I said, “when I first wake up.”
Not really. I look worse!
The music sounds like marching-music. Where do they think they’re they marching to? Nobody’s going anywhere…
Johann Sebastian Bach’s “Brandenburg Concertos” is on my i-Pacifier. His music was rejected by a sovereign for Telemann’s music that is long forgotten…
Life is full of tests. But it’s also full of deceptions. (So most people don’t know if they’re winning or losing.) Fortunately, all you need is one good friend. Unfortunately, it’s not me. But I can introduce you…
“And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. But he answered and said, It is written, MAN SHALL NOT LIVE BY BREAD ALONE, BUT BY EVERY WORD THAT PROCEDETH OUT OF THE MOUTH OF GOD.” (Matthew 4:3-4)
Scientists are warning nations to end all major warfare before tectonic forces “cause plates to shift, moving whole continents”. Jefferson Scotland, of the Texas Geological Institute, says countries only have to refrain from fighting for a short time: “For two years. That will give the plates time to lock-in,” he says. “Or else we could see what has happened in the past: Italy breaking away from Africa and pushing up against southern Europe to form the Alps; India pushing southern Asia to form an even bigger mountain chain: the Himalayas; and North America and South America moving westward, causing the Rockies and the Andes. That will change climates, drastically. It’s needless to say it will destroy ecosystems, animal life, countries and cities. Oh. And people, too.”
No fighting for two years. That’s not too much to ask…
It pays to be poor: Since my favorite radio station was sold, and not broadcasting anymore, I’m now listening to a jazz station – and actually liking it! I once told a friend that I thought jazz sounded frivolous, but this stuff is good! But I’m as stubborn as the next guy so I wouldn’t have found this music if I had tons of money and could listen to whatever I wanted…
This weekend I had nothing scheduled (except to watch the World Cup Finals) and I was too tired to do anything so I just rested, and did nothing. I did nothing, all weekend. What an experience! I did nothing and, surprisingly, I was inspired with plans and fun things to do I couldn’t have thought of… Continue reading It pays to be poor: Since my favorite radio station was sold, and not broadcasting anymore, I’m now listening to a jazz station – and actually liking it!

The world is OUT OF CONTROL! because too many people want to be IN CONTROL! How do we know when to let go?
We could ask…
I’d rather be on a team that’s losing, for now, but wins! in the end than on one that’s winning, right now, but guaranteed to lose…
I’m going visit my parents and watch the Spurs-Heat game. We’ll spend some quality family-time together in front of the boob-tube…
My friends are a pain, sometimes – growing pains
When the mountain’s too high sometimes the mountain will come down for us…
Oh, the nice Christian boy! He’s so sweet! ‘Cept when he talks about justice, and Judgment Day Just a nice Christian boy… He’s too deep! Yes, the mountain’s too tall! It’s way too tall! And we’re so small… But when the mountain’s too high sometimes the mountain will come down for us
