Scottish Invasion

I don't know that I've ever sat down and written out a list of things I don't want to ever have to do.  I'm sure it would be long and never could be considered complete.  I would say that most would fall into the category of comfort for self.  Like, I don't want to be eaten … Continue reading Till I See You. .

I'm not sure if you are aware, but there is an election in our country this year.  In fact, we are almost exactly a month away at the time I am writing this.  There are some small-town mayoral contests, a few aldermen here and there, and every two years we have to elect or re-elect … Continue reading Filling out a Ballot

Stop for a moment and ask yourself where you would land on each of these little dilemmas: Your favorite frozen yogurt stop is owned by a man that has been charged with child pornography and other similar crimes, using footage from secret cameras he placed in the restroom of his establishment.  But, this Friday night … Continue reading Making the Tough Call

Back early in February, I made a passing comment on my Facebook page that I was going to consider running for the U.S. Representative slot made vacant by current Congressman Stephen Fincher's announcement that he would not seek re-election. I was about 50% serious and 50% just curious if it would even get a response. … Continue reading Now Ain’t The Time

OK, so it's been over a month since I last posted something on this blog.  So much for blogging "more."  I could tell you about all the reasons why I haven't, but you care about hearing them as much as I care about taking the time to type them.  So let's just not. Over the … Continue reading But, but. . .

Tomorrow is Christmas Day.  So, depending on lots of different factors, that could mean a lot to you, mean a little to you, mean nothing at all to you, or just mean a day off of work. Regardless, it's become a day where I dare say most Americans show kindness towards one another.  Whether that is a … Continue reading Forest for the Trees

Life's best lessons often require the most difficult teaching methods.  I want those defending my freedom to have endured rigorous training.  I want the surgeon to have persevered through study and training.  I want my pilot to have logged thousands upon thousands of hours behind the yoke. You see, if it were easy, then everyone … Continue reading The Debt That All Men Pay

I am not an illusionist.  There, I said it. But, if you've been in the audience of someone that is talented in the art of sleight of hand or misdirection, you were no doubt entertained.  Even if you caught yourself trying to figure out the act, you likely weren't able to. A few months ago, … Continue reading Smoke and Mirrors

It goes without saying, but I'm going to say it anyway.  There are distinct differences between men and women.  Pretty deep, I know.  But, stay with me - it gets better. I bet you think today's blog is going to revolve around a hot topic in our country - transgenderism.  Well, it's not. (Here's a … Continue reading My Blessing

Lots of fun games revolve around hiding or being in the shadows.  Hide-and-seek is the clear favorite there, but you also have any mock military action or maybe a water balloon ambush.  Halloween is tonight, so I'm sure there will be at least one group of teenagers that will sneak around looking for somewhere to … Continue reading Come out, come out, wherever you are
