After reading that I, at least, was over come with the feeling of someone...
I'm getting a lot of questions lately, about what I am eating (or not eating). Although "questions" is not quite an accurate word! More often, folks are giving me their suspicions:Q: You probably have to eat special foods that cost...
This Sunday I thought we'd introduce a song in Swahili, since we may have the Burundians with us. The rest of the songs follow the theme of Jesus as our shelter. 1. Kwake Yesu Nasimama [author unknown, arr. (c) James Ward 1998] 2....
How does it fit into my schedule, working out 5x a week? I know that many of FT's clients do not sign on to work out as often as I am doing... but even slotting in 2x a week can...
He's done. Nope, not the walk in the Baghdad market, his support for a ridiculous war, his flip-flopping on evolution, abortion, Falwell, Bob Jones, campaign finance reform, lobbying reform and every other issue. Not his temper, his ambition or his obstinence....
Karl Rove is not a believer, and he doesn’t shout it from the rooftops, but when asked, he answers quite honestly. I think the way he puts it is, “I’m not fortunate enough to be a person of faith.” That’s courtesy...
In this week's Pulse column, I inadvertently stated that Tennessee's Attorney General is elected by the state Legislature. The office is, in fact, as everyone knows (including me), filled by the state Supreme Court. I must have been thinking about...
This could well be the trigger for the U.S. / Israel attack on Iran. The dollar was driven down against the Japanese yen this afternoon, hit by the news that Iran had asked Japan to pay for its oil purchases in...
When Connecticut's Republican Gov. M. Jodi Rell vetoed legislation last month that would have allowed citizens with debilitating medical conditions to use medical cannabis under their doctor's supervision, she alleged that there was no proof of pot's therapeutic effectiveness and...
Sorry for this long delay between posts. Not that East Lake has been non-existent the last two months. Well, politically, the state senator who represents East Lake pleaded guilty to bribery. Would a state senator from Soddy-Daisy care about...
See Genesis 6-8 1. It is remarkable that God asked Noah to take animals with him into the ark. It seems he wanted to preserve his world's biodiversity. I tend to think that God relates primarily with humans, but...
You know, I often get to the point that I have lost all faith in the human race. Then a story like this comes along and has me even question

The New York Times today ran an Associated Press story reporting that teenage sex rates have hit a new low. This is good news. The teenage birth-rate has hit a record low as well. In 2005, 47 percent of high school...
Here's another bird I saw in Florida last month, a white ibis. Also, check out DD's manatee photo and all the other creatures on this week's ark! Have a great weekend (Happy Friday the 13th!)! ...
From the 7-12-07 Times Free Press story about Ward Crutchfield's decision to stop lying, which our legal system calls 'change of plea': "Defense attorneys have been trying to exclude a transcript of a recorded telephone conversation from March 2005 in which...
Billy at Worst Mayor Ever has sharpened his Blades. In a post that tones down the typical innuendo factor ("so far I don't have the kind of confirmation that I'm comfortable with"), Billy asks the question that's on a...
I haven't gotten any good pictures of British animals yet. So far the only one's I've really seen other than a couple of truely adorable West Highland terriers are the strange flying ants that mysteriously swarmed the hall, stairs, laundry...
