Random Musings

My brain likes to play around with my thoughts and veer off into tangents triggered by some subconscious link unknown to my conscious self. Sometimes, this can be interesting if I have nothing better to do than sit quietly and inwardly watch. Most of the time, though, it is super annoying. I do not have the time to indulge in a “brain vacation.”

My brain has a mind of its own. I will be writing a critical scene, and suddenly, boom! I lose focus because my mind meanders to thinking about what I should cook for dinner. I really hate that. I’m sure Hemingway was not disturbed or asked, “What’s for Dinner?” Men don’t even know what a blessing they have, not being in charge of dinner.

That reminds me of the poster for the day…

If you require a good belly laugh, this is not your week. I owe you another one …

Dispensing the Best Medicine

Is laughter the best medicine? I think it is. And guess what? There are no nasty side effects, and it doesn’t cost $500 for a month’s supply.

I don’t tell jokes or remember them very well. My humor is more of the sneak-up-and-surprise-you-out-of-nowhere kind. I tell stories based on reality because truth is stranger than fiction. I also collect funny posters. OK, I hoard them. This is all done for you. I save the ones that make me laugh out loud and pass them along to those in need.

Today’s poster is an exception. It did not make me laugh at all.


It did give me chills, though.

I owe you a giggle


How Will Things Go?

I like to know the who, what, and when of things, and I think most of us do. Mystery can sometimes be fun, but when it’s something important—something BIG—we want to know as much as possible to prepare ourselves mentally.

For example, consider the end of this world as we know it. Baby Boomers, such as myself, were trained to deal with nuclear attacks (Ha!), and Armageddon meant the start of World War III. Most people believe that man will destroy the Earth and everything on it. How gloomy is that?

Bible prophecy tells us a completely different story. And it is a hopeful one.

“He has established the earth on its foundations; It will not be moved from its place forever and ever.” – Psalms 104:5


“The righteous will possess the earth, and they will live forever on it.”
– Psalms 37: 29

Another question comes to mind, “How will we know?”
The apostle Timothy clues us in…

“But know this, in the last days, critical times hard to deal with will be here. For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient, disloyal, having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness, betrayers, headstrong, puffed up with pride, lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God.
– 2 Timothy 3:1-5

I don’t know about y’all, but I have seen all of these behaviors in recent years. And they are getting worse.

If you would like to read more Bible prophecy, I recommend the website JW.org. There, you can read or download different translations of the Bible in several hundred different languages. There are also many Bible-based publications and videos for all ages.
