The Furnace of Life

4Then the herald loudly proclaimed, “Nations and peoples of every language, this is what you are commanded to do: 5As soon as you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe and all kinds of music, you must fall down and worship the image of gold that King Nebuchadnezzar has set up. … Continue reading The Furnace of Life

Apostle Paul’s Warning

"3 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5 having … Continue reading Apostle Paul’s Warning

Honoring our Vets – Their Wives, and Their Families

(Just got this in an email... don't know the author, but it has to be shared.) It was just another harried Wednesday afternoon trip to the commissary (grocery store on military bases). My husband was off teaching young men to fly. My daughters were going about their daily activities knowing I would return to them … Continue reading Honoring our Vets – Their Wives, and Their Families

Thanks to All Veterans

I don't know who wrote it, but it's certainly worth repeating: "It is the veteran, not the preacher, who has given you freedom of religion. It is the veteran, not the reporter, who has given you freedom of the press. It is the veteran, not the poet, who has given you freedom of speech. … Continue reading Thanks to All Veterans

The Rise of Transhumanism

Star Trek had the Borg, the Terminator series had killer androids, and The Bicentennial Man was about a robot seeking to "become human." When you look back at the offerings of SciFy (science fiction) it is interesting how some of the things that were presented as "futuristic" are now reality (cell phones, drones, and the … Continue reading The Rise of Transhumanism

Age-isms

I received this in an email. Don't shoot the messenger. Unfortunately, I can relate! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As I’ve grown older, I’ve learned that pleasing everyone is impossible, but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake. I’m responsible for what I say, not what you understand. Common sense is like deodorant. The people who … Continue reading Age-isms
