GEN Z--IT’S ALL ABOUT APPLICATION!

       One may have the best books and videos supplied to them.  They may have taken the best of classes and earned so many degrees that one could put the word ‘Fahrenheit’ at the end of their name.  However, unless one makes the effort to apply what they have learned to the problems at hand, their efforts—and talk—will be useless.

      The same thing may be said about the KJV Bible.  A Christian may know the names of every bible book. However, until one applie

SMIs—THE NEW FOOLS

      In case you may have tuned in late, there is a new breed (or, maybe not so new breed) of fool that is sweeping social media.  No, I’m not referring to those who get their kicks from following what is posted along the funky electronic frontier.  Whom I am pointing at in my writings for the month are the new fools—otherwise known as ‘Social Media Influencers’.

THE KIDS ARE DOING ALRIGHT, BABY!

      One of the things I learned while job hunting many years ago (during yet another economic downturn) is that you need to ‘turn off’ the mainstream mess (MSM) because the ‘talking heads’ will cause you more harm than good with their steady stream of bad news.  Therefore, following that advice, I’ve decided to supply some good news on the youth front.
