Classic BLOG from The Past
Originally posted on May 11, 2020 “He’ll Take A HUSKY” Language can be a funny thing. While it is meant to communicate truth, often it doesn’t……. sometimes intentionally and sometimes unintentionally. It can be powerful and helpful or destructive. “Doublespeak is language that deliberately obscures, disguises, distorts, or even reverses the meaning of words”. It may take the form of euphemisms in … Continue reading Classic BLOG from The Past
“Running Out Of Gas”
Last year I was dropping a friend off at the airport late on a Sunday night. As I pulled away, I noticed that my gas gage was on empty and the warning light was on. I quickly realized there were no gas stations near by and I was close to running out of gas. It … Continue reading “Running Out Of Gas”
“Okay, Who’s The Brains Of This Outfit ?”
I used to love the old gangster movies where there were no subtleties… no hidden meanings… you didn’t need to be an English major to know what was going on. That’s probably why I liked the “Three Stooges”…. I could understand what was going on. When the bad guy asked Curly, “hey what kind of … Continue reading “Okay, Who’s The Brains Of This Outfit ?”
“The Great Translator”
Several years ago I was in a Catholic Church in Lebanon attending Mass. It was beautiful and I could follow it pretty well, but I couldn’t understand anything being said. During the homily the priest could have said “your pants are on fire” and I would have looked at him with a blank face. (unless they … Continue reading “The Great Translator”
When Is It Time To Celebrate?
I recently saw an article entitled “Why You Should Celebrate Everything”. It was a pretty good article, although I think they may have gone a bit too far. (they even toasted their wet carpet which they had just finished cleaning…hmmmm). The author mentioned that “giving extra attention to the good things in life, celebrating the little successes, helps … Continue reading When Is It Time To Celebrate?
“Just The Facts, Ma’am”
In the early 1950’s there was a TV series called “Dragnet”. Jack Webb played Sgt. Joe Friday who, with his partner Officer Frank Smith, took on crime in L.A. Each episode began with this opening line…. "Ladies and gentlemen: the story you are about to hear is true. Only the names have been changed to protect the innocent….. ….Dun da … Continue reading “Just The Facts, Ma’am”

Originally posted on May 10, 2020 It’s Halftime, “What’s The Score” Halftime is an important time in a football game. The teams have played half the game; they’ve done some things well and some things poorly. The score may be close, or it might be a ”blowout”. Well, it seems like we’re about at halftime … Continue reading Classic BLOG from The Past
“ Where Am I Going ?
Years ago, I remember being in a large Paris train station…many trains were next to each other… if I get on one and you get on the one next to me …we may travel together for a significant time…hey, there’s no difference…but at some point they diverge … you go north and I go south … Continue reading “ Where Am I Going ?
“Turn The Telescope Around”
As I kid, I would sometimes fool around with my toy telescope. Normally you look thru the small end and the image gets larger. If you turned it around and looked thru the large end, the image got smaller. I’ve heard a “telescope analogy” used in reference to God and our problems. If you look … Continue reading “Turn The Telescope Around”
