The Miracle Of Speed
Funny thing about miracles, we tend to think of them as extraordinary events that we cannot explain in rational, scientific terms, so we attribute them to some sort of divine intervention.

One Is The Holiest Number (Part I)
Over the last year or so, I have undertaken the long-term project of digitizing my vinyl collection. For those of you who know me personally, you know, this is going to take some time. Today, as I write this, I am on a country-rock binge. This means wax platters of Pure Prairie League, Gram Parsons, … Continue reading “One Is The Holiest Number (Part I)”

Survival of the Wisest (Part II)
Just so this is clear right up front, I absolutely believe that reason and science are necessary for our evolution. The faculty of reason is a God given power, and is intended for our use. So, contrary to how it might sound, I am actually pro-science. Likewise, I believe that matters of faith, God, spirituality … Continue reading “Survival of the Wisest (Part II)”

Survival Of The Wisest (Part I)
I seriously enjoy learning something new every day, and what I enjoy most is learning what it is I am going to be learning about each day. You with me? For example, just yesterday morning, I was getting my day started with a cup of morning joe and had an inclination to Google “spirituality videos.” … Continue reading “Survival Of The Wisest (Part I)”

There’s No Need To Fear. Underdog Is Here!
As long as I can remember, I have always loved cheering for the underdog. When I was a child, the cartoon series “Underdog” was one of my favorites. Anytime his love interest, Sweet Polly Purebread, was in peril, unassuming, mild mannered “Shoeshine Boy” would step into a nearby phone booth and transform into super hero … Continue reading “There’s No Need To Fear.

The Evolution Will Not Be Televised

This “master” evolution includes, every single person on the planet, including me and you. To me, this is the most exciting and … Continue reading “The Evolution Will Not Be Televised”

We Need a Bigger Vision
A while back, I was driving from Austin to Beaumont for a gig and stopped in Brenham to gas up the Kia. Right next door to the convenience store where I was filling my tank is a self car wash. On the brick wall of the car wash stall closest to where I was is … Continue reading “We Need a Bigger Vision”

Forgiving Our Way To Peace
We humans are an interesting lot. Each of us in our own way believes we are a perfect judge. Now before you object to that characterization, search yourself and your own experience and think of a time you formed a judgment about the behavior of another, turned it into a grievance with them and then … Continue reading “Forgiving Our Way To Peace”
