Recently, I looked at a picture and saw the most beautiful landscape. Upon further study, I realized - it was upside-down. A bit stunned, I figured out I was looking at the perfect reflection of a landscape on a calm, serene lake. It got flipped! Interestingly, God flips some things, too. 
I want to start by simply saying - so many things in life get flipped. Surely, you've experienced this. I certainly have. When this happens increasingly - you start wondering what's going on. . . . Read More ...

Their continual sparring is a unique quality of their very unusual friendship. So, what exactly is "indignant?" Let's look at what it means and who uses it. Read More ...

Growing older? Me, too. We all are. The days seem to fly by. And over time, people change. As your life goes on, are you the same person you were as a youngster? I know I'm not.

I bet you've lost something on occasion. You know how it is to misplace an item - and then spent far too much time looking for it. "Keys" is the big one. (Where do those keys always disappear to?) Sometimes it's a gift item you purchase and put it in a logical place - and then can't find it when you need it. Then there's your vehicle! "Where in blazes did I park in the lot outside this store?!" Well, this content highlights the guy who found it. Interestingly, he wasn't even looking for it.
