Ok, ok… just rambling today, but questions I have that no one has answered yet to any degree of satisfaction… most of which have been shared or first offered by others... What happened to Amelia Earhart? How moral was John F. Kennedy? Who was truly responsible for killing him? Why

What do you lead with? If there’s space between you and me, what do you lead with? I’ve thought of this many times… if there’s space between you and me, something has to fill it… If there’s space between a father and a son… … between a

Two people. One object. Two people can look at one object and see it in totally different ways… … sometimes in ways that seem contradicting… in ways in which we wonder how another ever possibly could have arrived at his or her perspective… Enter high school baseball as today’s example…

Last week I witnessed the most feisty exchange… A middle-aged man pulled his pickup truck into the nearest Publix parking spot. There was nothing unusual nor outstanding about the guidance of his vehicle. He was somewhat close to the gold sedan to his left, although the proximity had zero

It’s true. I can be a bit of a nerd. Please... don’t agree so fast. Maybe it’s better said that I’m always a student... always learning... always attempting to figure life out. In fact, one of my bottom lines in life is that none of us

We’ve entered a key stage here, friends. Emotions are heightened. The environment seems to be intensifying, almost by the hour. People are noticing; they’re talking. Individual observers are reacting in individual ways. Individuals vary in the ways they respond. There is not one sole, correct perspective; the Intramuralist

I did it again. Can you believe it?! And it was on the way to church… to church — for goodness sakes!! The light had turned green, and yet the Rogue driver in front of me didn’t move… … one Mississippi… two Mississippi… HONK! Ok, it really wasn’t that loud;

Seriously. What if it’s me? What if I’ve always said to love my neighbor as myself but then I intentionally choose some not to love? What if I’ve announced my pursuit of the truth and nothing but the truth and then justify why it’s ok to
