I have been thinking about the recent events in the U.S., including the runoff election in Georgia (where I live), Capitol Incident, social media purges, and the increasing fear throughout the country. Throughout of all this I viewed various sides and their arguments. After reviewing all of this material I came to this conclusion: The […]
I became aware of the cover for the December 7 issue of The New Yorker yesterday and I couldn’t believe my eyes. On the cover is a woman living in filth while she “dates” online. Why do we celebrate slovenliness now? How come it’s fine for adults to live in untidy homes with crap on […]
Too many Americans are caught up in politics and put too much faith in politicians. Upon reviewing this past election cycle, which I’m very happy is over (for the most part), the Democrats and Republicans think they’re different but they aren’t. They all think if their candidate gets into office their lives will improve. Sadly, […]

The “new” normal is scary, and I don’t like how society is going to change due to the Coronavirus pandemic. People are scared to go outside. They rather stay in and wait for a vaccine. Yet, that can take a year or more. With that in mind, I’m more concerned about people rushing to get […]
Is credit evil? The Bible states in Proverbs 22:7 “The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is slave to the lender.” Personal Finance radio host Dave Ramsey tells his callers to avoid all debt except mortgage loans. Over 40% of American households have credit card debt. Total car loan debt in America is […]
Don’t thank me for doing my job. I’m not working for “thank yous” or kudos or praise from management. I want to do my daily tasks without too much interruption within my defined shift so I can go home and do what I’m passionate about. Why You Don’t Need To Thank Me You thank a […]
