A Mountain and a Hope
- 05th March 2022
- Shannon Christal
On a cool fall day right around Thanksgiving, I was sitting on the front porch of my son’s and daughter-in-law’s home enjoying a cup of coffee, taking in the beautiful bright red and orange colors of the foliage on the hillside that is part of Petit Jean Mountain. Listening to the birds and all the other sounds not heard in a city, and surrounded by this...
Corruption is Everywhere

Corruption is fraudulent conduct, criminal abuse of power for private gain, or a process of changing into something impure, improper, dishonest, and debased—and it seems to be everywhere these days.
A Fish Story
- 19th February 2022
- J. Davy Crockett III
Everybody loves a fish story. Somehow, such stories often grow with the telling, stretching the truth and straining all credulity. Listeners respond with laughter and knowing nods as they express their doubts about the fisherman’s tale.
The Old Man
- 16th February 2022

When people are young, they often want to be older. When they are old, they often want to be younger—or at least to look and feel younger. Common to nearly everyone is the desire to be rejuvenated and renewed.
How Do You Fix a Broken World?
- 12th February 2022
- Rod King (1949-2019)
“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” goes the old saying. It seems that some people have got to change things for the sake of change. The way they think is that if something is old, it must be wrong—and it’s their job to come up with something new. Somehow they believe that if something is new, it must be better, which of course is not always the case. Progress is...
When All Else Fails… Read the Instructions!
- 09th February 2022
- Roger Meyer
“When all else fails, read the instructions” is an expression of inestimable—yet grossly underrated—wisdom. It is a tendency of human nature to assume we know how to do something without needing to be instructed. We soon find out through failure that we do.
It is intriguing that, male or female, or young or old, there is something in our human nature that seeks...
The Power of Utterance

- J. Davy Crockett III
“Rights! We demand our rights!” is a cry often heard in these tumultuous times. Citizens do have rights in the United States of America not found in many nations around the world.
You Can See Invisible Things
- 02nd February 2022
- Roger Meyer
Lots of things are invisible to our eyes. For example, we cannot see gravity, radio waves, or sound. In the world of make-believe, magic cloaks or rings can make one invisible. In science fiction, cloaking devices make spaceships invisible. Scientists work with stealth technology to try to make things seem invisible, or as close as possible. But, what about the...
Seeing the Whole Elephant
- 29th January 2022
- Richard Franz
I remember fondly an old children's story called The Blind Men and the Elephant. This profound yet simple story is a great illustration of the limitations of human perception.
One version of the story describes six blind men living in a village. One day, a caravan of travelers came bringing an elephant. The blind men had no idea what an elephant was, and...
