My thanksgiving is perpetual. It is surprising how contented one can be with nothing definite - only a sense of existence. Well, anything for variety. I am ready to try this for the next ten thousand years, and exhaust it. How sweet to think of! my extremities well charred, and my intellectual part too, so that there is no danger of worm or rot for a long while. My breath is sweet to me. O how I laugh when I think of my vague indefinite riches. No run on my bank can drain it, for my wealth is not possession but enjoymen...

TV is the shepherd.” ― Jess C. Scott, Literary Heroin (Gluttony): A Twilight Parody I do believe I might substitute FaceBook (Twitter, Instagram etc)  is the Shepherd.  My dad always used teaching comparisons on us.  "If everyone jumps off the roof, are you going to jump off the roof? If every one runs on the edge of the cliff by the ocean, are you going to do it too?"  Social media is more evil than good in my eyes and experience. Most viewers are herded right to where they want...

It breathes best in the open air where all men can inhale its essence.” ― Louis L'Amour, The Haunted Mesa I wanted to share the video of this painting below because the book pages served as the foundation of the painting.  It sold this month at Mirada Fine Art Gallery in Indian Hills outside of Denver.  It is a painting that packs a punch and then when you see how it was conceived and how it grew, it is truly powerful. Louis L'Amour was my ...

The Sky is Falling". Many lives became endangers as animals flew into a fearful frenzy. Some versions of the story have an unhappy ending and others an ending where Henny Penny realizes it is important to be brave and figure things out.  Do not believe all you hear o...

And then at some point late, late, late at night, say just a bit before dawn, the heat finally breaks and the night turns into cool and when you briefly wake up, you notice that you're almost chilly, and in your groggy, half-c...

Are you not much more valuable than they? Matthew 6:26 This birthday week beginning finds me into Hebrews. After yesterday's thoughts I really liked the end of Hebrews 13:5... I will never fail you - I will never forsake you.   He promises and he always keeps His promises.  We mean way more to Him than the birds and he provides all they need.  He does that and so much more for you and me.  I...
