I’m a Christian. Let me start off there. Being a Christian doesn’t make me better than anyone else. I’m a Christian because I hold certain beliefs, and because I have faith in the Bible, and in salvation through Jesus Christ. Having said this, I feel the need to express certain deep-rooted sentiments. Many people say… Continue reading Christianity… and Donald Trump

The Art of the Lie
Long ago, I heard someone say the following: “Even if they catch you in bed with another woman, you deny it.” Never mind that it’s wrong. At the time it sounded ludicrous. Deny something you’re caught in the act of doing?? As ludicrous as it sounded back then, it has strangely come to fruition in… Continue reading The Art of the Lie
It Used to Be…
It used to be that people read books, magazines, newspapers. Now people gorge on social media, scrolling through, all with the attention span of a gnat. It used to be that people would study, work hard, and knew the meaning of the words “research” and “science.” Now people latch onto social media and proclaim themselves… Continue reading It Used to Be…
Let’s Talk GOATS
I feel compelled to write about the recent fascination with the GOAT (Greatest of All Time) subject after the latest Super Bowl. Although the term had not been coined yet, to the best of my recollection the first “GOAT” quarterback back in the ‘50s, ‘60s, and even into the ‘70s was considered to be Johnny… Continue reading Let’s Talk GOATS
“What if I wasn’t Tyreek Hill?”
Last Sunday, Miami Dolphins wideout Tyreek Hill was stopped by Miami police officers for alleged speeding and reckless driving violations, while on his way to Hard Rock Stadium for the Dolphins’ season opening game. In what became a controversial incident, Hill ended up face down and handcuffed on the street, before eventually being released. He… Continue reading “What if I wasn’t Tyreek Hill?”
Can I Have Your Atten…
Nobody likes to read anymore. In fact, this is a source of pride for some people. “I’ve got too short an attention span.” “If you don’t catch my attention in the first 10 seconds, I’m gone.” We are fully in the age of sound bites, short video clips, and social media followers. Might as well… Continue reading Can I Have Your Atten…
Busting Aaron’s Myth
This one is strictly for fans of the NFL, like I am. So can we stop with the Aaron Rodgers man-crushes already? Maybe it’s just ESPN. But for years, all I’ve heard is Aaron Rodgers this… Aaron Rodgers that. On the network’s “First Take” show, Stephen A. Smith even coined the moniker “that baaad man.” … Continue reading Busting Aaron’s Myth
Let Kids be Kids
Seems to me that society is constantly seeking to push the envelope regarding elementary and middle school education. The first thing that comes to mind is an age-old adage. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Nowadays there is a significant push to include gender education in elementary schools. But that… is a topic for… Continue reading Let Kids be Kids
Team Sports Comparison
A couple of nights ago, I was watching ESPN coverage of FIFA World Cup results, when the obviously bored female commentator gleefully said… “But let’s get back to hockey.” Which prompted me to write a comparison about the different team sports… as well as my preferences. Let’s begin with hockey. I’ll sum it up with… Continue reading Team Sports Comparison
My New App
I have decided to launch my own social media app for personality tests, and here is a preview of it. If your first name begins with a letter from “A” to “H”: Strengths – You have the heart of a lion. You will scratch and claw to achieve what you want, and do not let… Continue reading My New App
