Unpopular

2583) There have been times in my life when I have sought popularity. Jr. high, for example. It’s also true that I have occasionally wished for popularity as a writer.

Going for a Walk

2582) Unless it’s the dead of winter, I walk regularly with my little dog. Most of the time it’s just us, but occasionally I’ll walk with a friend.

The Bible and Inertia

2548) I was reading an article recently that focused on inertia. I found it interesting because I can plainly see its fingerprint all around me, including in the mirror.

Look for the Fruit

The Lions in my Life

2497) I have never been to a circus, though I have seen enough of them on television to picture what happens in a show. One of the things I think I would have been scared to see as a child is a lion in the same cage as a person, and the lion is riled

Knives

2348) For many years now, I have been prone to drop things. I don’t know if there’s a medical problem, but it’s a reality. I have found that if I’m not careful to acknowledge this when I’m holding things that can cause great damage or be damaged if I drop them, it can lead to
