Too Much, Too Little… and the Glory of God in the Both’of’em.

It’s a time honored tradition. Every year I tell myself, “This is the year. The year of Christmas Simplification. We are stripping it down… Going back to basics… Cuttin out the hoopla, man.” Not that hoopla is all bad, of course. Why some of my best Christmases have involved plenty of it. But I’m talking […]

And now… a wise word from a Guest Misfit

“It’s not only permissible to be who you are, it is your sacred duty”. I wish I had come up with that little gem right there. But alas, it wasn’t me. It was, however, someone related to me. So I’ll take partial credit. I’m sure she won’t mind. That “she” to whom I refer is […]

PODCAST- Daniel Rice: Hashing out this whole HASTHTAG business… oh, and the #Gospel, too.

What’s trending on social media as we speak? Who exactly IS Generation Now? And, not that you aren’t completely hip and don’t already know, but… how would you explain this whole hashtag thing to someone who is not as completely hip as you, and doesn’t know?

Baaaaaad Behavior… and Reconciliation…

IN case you were wondering what THE quote of the week is, as a public service for your convenience, I have hereby determined, hands down, it is this: “How do you reconcile your love for someone with the revelation that they have behaved badly?” It was spoken by a morning talk show personality, in one […]

Cyber Monday… So Good to Me…

You’re supposed to read that heading like the Mamas & Papas song “Monday Monday”, just in case you didn’t know. And if you’re too young or just plain out of the loop of ultimate late 60’s/early 70’s greatness… here you go: So yes. It’s Cyber Monday! It’s CYBER MONDAY!!! And you know what that […]

PODCAST- Tahni Cullen… Part 2 (this is where it gets really good!)

And a hap, hap, happy Thanksgiving to you! It’s a day to show our gratitude, and I for one am oh, so grateful to have you join me here on our little oasis of the offbeat. Yes, it’s true, I was very mean to cut off Tahni’s story just as it was getting really good… […]

PODCAST: Tahni Cullen, and a Story You Won’t Believe… But You Should… Cause it’s TRUE! (Part 1)

I think my run on sentence heading says it all. And yes, perhaps you think it’s hyperbole when I say her story will blow you away. Oh, but just you wait, my friend… Just. You. Wait. In fact, what she shares is so intriguing, we’re going rogue here and doing a TWO PARTER for the […]

PODCAST- Patricia Beal: Ballerina. Army Wife. Woman of intrigue.

Isn’t it just the way of it? The most humble, unassuming, down to earth people always tend to be the ones who have these incredibly FASCINATING stories? Maybe you know someone like that.
