  • And we’re back

    The blog was down the last couple of days as I was trying to navigate Google’s new payment systems and how they charge for website domains, etc. Huge hassle. I’m probably the only one who is upset, but I’m back. Whew. Read more

  • Happy Anniversary

    I was informed by a WordPress notification this is my 5th Anniversary for this blog. I’ll never match tremendous numbers of “hits” or views like other great friends of mine, but I have enjoyed the process. Thank you for reading. Thank you for commenting. Thank you to those who let me know in person that… Read more

  • Are any other WordPress Users having trouble with highlighted links right now?

    An interesting development, brought to my attention yesterday, is I had whole pages that were blank. Then, I discovered the problem is links I highlight have disappeared.  For an example, click on my “Book Review” page and see what happened to my book titles. Is anyone else using WordPress having this issue? Or, if it has… Read more

  • A new day for Nook

    The Nook HD+ is on sale this week and Nook has really upped it’s game. This 9 inch tablet has 16 gb storage and just added the full Google Play store! I now have a full tablet without the huge price. This is a real treat for me, since I have had a Nook for… Read more

  • Jesus Endorsed Me!

    Yesterday I checked my LinkedIn notices on my phone and the short headline read: “Jesus just endorsed you…” I had no idea Jesus was on LinkedIn, but I was happy for the endorsement. Then, I looked at a fuller version and realized it was one of my Hispanic friends who had  a last name as… Read more

  • Google Reader is dead

    I don’t know if you still use RSS or not. I don’t even know what that means, but I have used Google Reader. Now, without consulting ME about their decision to remove something free from my life… they are discontinuing it. And fast. They are dropping it faster than their igoogle format. I will still have the… Read more

  • The Liebster Award

    When I first saw this, I thought it said “LOBSTER Award,” and I was excited… and hungry. Then, I read that “Liebster” means “favorite” in German. Okay, I still like it. So, my blog has been nominated for a “Liebster” by my wife. (I’m still her favorite husband!) The rules are: Tell 11 things about… Read more

  • Words

    We really use too many words. And then we use wrong words. I often get confused between when to use “effect” and “affect.” I’m confused on that right now. An exercise I want to take up this month is to use one-word titles. Nothing long at all. Just try to sum up what I want… Read more

  • You’ve Been Lazy and Haven’t Been Listening

    This verse out of the Common English Bible should wake us up! 11 We have a lot to say about this topic, and it’s difficult to explain, because you have been lazy and you haven’t been listening. (Heb. 5:11, CEB) There is so much to move on to, but too often we keep lagging behind. We… Read more
