Super Bowl Prediction Time

It’s time for my Friday Fun post, in which I offer nothing more than perhaps an opportunity for some amusement. All right, since this is the last Friday before the NFL kicks off its regular season next Thursday in Denver, I thought I’d use this ‘Friday Fun’ post to solicit your preseason, Super Bowl pick.[…]

Your Crooked Neighbor

It’s time for my Midweek Recommendation, in which I commend to your attention books or music or movies or anything I find worth recommending. So, as I wrote about ‘the Surprising Word’ in my Sunday Reflection, I realized that I needed to use my Midweek Recommendation on “As I walked out one evening,” a poem[…]

The Surprising Word

It’s time for my Sunday Reflection, in which I post some of my thoughts on almost any issue connected to writing, faith or life in general. Last Sunday I wrote about the joy of knowing (and using) the ‘right word’ in any given situation. The more you read and experience the English language, the more[…]

There can be only one!

It’s time for my Friday Fun post, in which I offer nothing more than perhaps an opportunity for some amusement. All right, well, this week’s ‘Friday Fun’ may only be fun for me, but that’s a risk I’m willing to take! A few months ago I watched the 1986 cult class Highlander with some friends.[…]

It’s time for my Midweek Recommendation, in which I commend to your attention books or music or movies or anything I find worth recommending.

Have you ever been in a conversation where the person you were talking to started a sentence, then paused, seeming to search for not any word, but a particular[…]

Friday Fun – The Caption Game

It’s time for my Friday Fun post, in which I offer nothing more than perhaps an opportunity for some amusement. Today’s edition of “Friday Fun” involves the caption game. Simply post a comment with your suggestion for a caption to the following photo… Here’s my suggestion… “NO! Not Twilight again!” And you? Where would you[…]

A River Runs Through It

It’s time for my Midweek Recommendation, in which I commend to your attention books or music or movies or anything I find worth recommending. Last week for my midweek recommendation I offered Ender’s Game for your reading enjoyment. This week, I’m going to break out of the Fantasy/Sci-Fi world and recommend A River Runs Through[…]

Serious Wounds

It’s time for my Sunday Reflection, in which I post some of my thoughts on almost any issue connected to writing, faith or life in general. We go to great lengths to minimize our view of sin – at least our view of our own sin. We rationalize, we excuse and we compare ourselves to[…]
