What is it? I don’t think it’s a real secret to anyone, many people, including myself, don’t care for turkey. The stores are already looking like they’ve been raided by a pack of wolves with paper lists of things to get before they’re gone. Turkey-its dry, it doesn’t fit in your freezer, it doesn’t fit in your oven. Why do we have it as the traditional Thanksgiving meal rather than, let’s say-meat loaf?History of the First Thanksgiving – History of... Read more
Look, most of us, well, maybe all but four of us, will be disappointed at this point in their life. I should have done this, I should have not done that, races around in our head. We sit on our back porch, or patio, or street corner and we grieve what we haven’t done. Well, guess what? We are perfectly placed. Read more
And yet, Abba loves us just the way we are. The battle is won with Jesus on the cross. I need nothing more than to believe that. Nothing I do, can do, will do, needs to be added. That action is sufficient. Read more
Growing up, there was one poll. It was the Gallup poll, remember that one? It was everywhere. Everyone quoted the Gallup Poll. It was the gold standard of, well, polls. Even the networks quoted them.

I imagine you can look at his expression and crack up. He loves to see life, I believe, through my/your... Read more
IT IS JUST ME AND THE HOUNDS. I have been ‘retired’ now for—two full months. It’s just me and the hounds. I’m not going to count the first time I retired, three years prior to that? Two novels ago—I think? Now, those of you who know me or who have seen me on TV or the radio, I am a different guy. Mark, you don’t look that, well, old. I’m not. I’m also not on TV. But the interesting thing... Read more
