The Adventures of an Old Uber Driver In The Gig Economy Chapter 4

Sometimes, I give myself an internal pity party. You wonder if your experience has any value to others. The other day, I picked up a young man and drove him to work. I started the conversation by asking him about his job. The young man informed me that he was working to earn some money for the... Sign in to see full entry.

Have You Seen My Old Jalopy

While driving around my neighborhood, I noticed that most of the cars on the road were in good shape. This struck me as odd, as when I grew up, seeing a new or modern car was a big deal. Now, it is odd to see a raggedy car. My first car was a farmer's green 64 Newport Plymouth. The body was... Sign in to see full entry.

Music and The Power of Song 2

Speaking from experience, music is one of the most tremendous benefits of my life—not just my life but millions of others.

Music and the Power of Song 1

The power of a good song can be priceless. Music is living medicine. It is good to find a song that you love. And play it over and over again. Music can change your mood from sad to happy and happy to sad, taking you back in time. It has magical powers. Remember that girl or guy you first fell in... Sign in to see full entry.

Game Time Lessons

My wife loves board games and game shows. She can play for hours and hours. My family also played games growing up, but I prefer physical games: baseball, tennis, basketball, football, and golf. Our nephews invited us to their home for a game-day party this weekend. We were introduced to a series of... Sign in to see full entry.

The weekly, monthly, and yearly lists usually focus on planned events related to church, club, and... Sign in to see full entry.

My church sponsors a men's fellowship one Saturday a month. We invite a guest minister or fellow church member to speak. This Saturday, in our praise and worship part of the program, we had a recurring theme about men caring for their health. During praise and worship, we ask volunteers to share a...
