Most of us have lost our wallet at one time or another. Until you find it, it can occupy your mind…24/7. The other day, I couldn’t get my cell phone to charge. It would charge for a bit and then stop. I tried a few things and it worked for awhile, but then stopped. My … Continue reading “My Cell Phone’s Not Charging” →

Originally posted on May 4, 2020 “I’d Prefer Raphael Over Gandalf” I love the book of Tobit. What a great adventure !  It has everything…excitement,  sorrow, victory, honor, virtue, attacks of the devil, angels, … everything. Many of us have read the Lord of the Rings Trilogy by J.R.R.

How do you know when it’s time to leave ….you know what I mean…it’s time to go...you’ve worn out your welcome.  It may be obvious when you find your suitcase out on the sidewalk, but it’s usually a bit more subtle. When I used to get on my mother’s nerves, she would say, “Okay, run along”. Hmmm, … Continue reading “ Easy On The Nerves” →

With all the “noise” surrounding us, it’s easy to miss important things that are being said. We may hear from a loved one,  “David, are you listening to me…of course I’m listening…well, what did I just say….uuuugghhh.”  "Are You Listening???" According to Stephen Covey, the author of The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People, “being listened to is … Continue reading “What ???” →

I guess he was like most young Jewish kids of that time. We understand that he learned a trade as a … Continue reading “What Was He Like” →

I was wondering why I like stories where the “good guy wins”. I enjoyed the old cowboy movies because Roy Rodgers or the Lone Ranger or John Wayne always got their man and usually ended it with a good punch in the nose. I guess when you’re getting pushed around a lot by the bad … Continue reading “Vengeance Is Mine” →

When I was young (er), I used to dread Mondays…. another 5 days before the weekend…a week of school and homework and exams or a week of humdrum work. I longed to exclaim  “TGIF…. Thank God it’s Friday.” When in college and the stress level would get really high, I’d pull out the ole imaginary  “Magic Carpet”.On … Continue reading “Another Adventure” →

Originally posted on May 3, 2020 “Is There Such A Thing As A  Stupid  Question ??? ” We’ve all heard that there’s no such thing as a “stupid question”, or “the only dumb question is the question that you don’t ask”.

Originally posted on May 2, 2020 “It’s Not Too Late” We all love an underdog. We root for the person that is down on his luck, has suffered a catastrophe,  who has no chance…. the guy is out of shape, he’s too old, maybe an alcoholic. Everyone has written him off, including himself.  We remember underdog … Continue reading Classic BLOG from The Past →
