It is just a “U”, but it is the difference between something being right and something being wrong. Perhaps you know what I’m talking about. It’s the “U” that our neighbours to the south neglect to include in words like harbour, colour and saviour. Which is fine if you live south of the 49th, but…
Why Rules? Story of the Book # 2
Rules, anyone here into rules? You know laws, decrees, regulations, whatever it is that you want to call them. If you are here’s the good news the book of Leviticus is full of rules, aren’t you lucky? As a matter of fact rules is just about all Leviticus is about. There is really no story…

Words to live by. . . Or not.
Recently I have found myself immersed in a book of wisdom. I’m sure Angela is growing tired of my constant interruptions as I regale her with yet another new discovery.

How many guys had GI Joes when you were kids? They weren’t dolls they were action figures. Ken was a doll, and GI Joe was cooler and had cooler stuff. I was an army brat so the only GI Joe I had was the army one, but a friend of mine had all four, and…
Whiter than White
I had forgotten how white, white was supposed to be, until I saw how white, white was again. Say that sentence real fast a few times! We had our house washed the other day and while I knew that it was a little grimy, it wasn’t until the first section was finished and we could…
