This is part 2 in my series of blog posts that highlight some of the great comedy from the past that was not dependent on vulgarities or sexually related humor to be funny. Monty Python is another huge influence on me as far as the kind of humor that I enjoy. When it comes toContinue reading “Now That’s Funny #2 – Monty Python’s Olympics”

Now That’s Funny #1 – SCTV’s Half Wits
Our world today seems to have forgotten how to be funny. Most modern humor on television, streaming services, or movies depends on humor that shocks the viewer into laughing. It’s as if the writers and producers think that only R rated material can be funny. Recently, I heard one director of comedy movies say heContinue reading “Now That’s Funny #1 – SCTV’s Half Wits”
The Line Between – Book Review
The Line Between by Tosca Lee is a one-of-a-kind thriller that takes an end-of-the-world story, unlike any I’ve ever read, and couples it with the incredible story of a young girl who is cast out of a cult. The girl is named Wynter and hers is a fast-paced psychodrama that kept me turning the pagesContinue reading “The Line Between – Book Review”

Just Got Back from Guatemala
I returned a few days ago from a mission trip to Guatemala. This was my third trip in three years. My daughter Chloe came with me the first two times I went and it was kind of a father/daughter trip. This year, we were able to raise enough support to bring my wife, Jenny, andContinue reading “Just Got Back from Guatemala”
Electrical Menagerie – Book Review
Electrical Menagerie by Mollie E. Reeder is the delightful story of magic and the entertainers whose lives are defined by the magic they create.

Strength by Lauren H. Salisbury is part two in her literary saga that is loosely based on the Biblical life of Moses.

Probably the most peculiar thing about thisContinue reading “Strength – Book Review”
