Life

What is it that's behind everything? Why is it is it that we are here?we are here? What is our purpose? I guess soon we will find out. I do have many thoughts on the subject and hold them very dear as I hold the Creator so dearly in my heart for without whom, I wouldn't not even exist. I...

Hanging out playing rummy and doing crafts with my darling daughter.

Having grown up in the deep south I have some real "doozies" but they are a bit too R and X rated to list here.

I feel I am much in the same place as you. I read somewhere recently that the real meaning of life was to find meaning in it. I do feel that is what it's all about. There is something we must know, must learn, must find or figure out -- something we need to understand -- a reason, a purpose, a...

And some step to the beat of a different drummer.

Rule #1, don't make God #2. And love your neighbor as you love yourself.

Thanks buddy. That was a bit of oversharing there. I must have been still half asleep. I don't usually tell anyone the full extent of my situation. People tend to look at you like the walking dead and shy away when you mention the big C. Already I have outlasted my doctor's predictions, which...

My first radio (Christmas present) was called the Rocket Radio. It looked like a little rocket ship and you changed the channels by pulling out the antenna from the nose cone. It had no speaker but instead had little earphone/plugs. The year was approximately 1955. There were still soda...

I I just read that our bodies are composed mostly of water and just a few pounds of the almost embarrassingly common and inexpensive minerals and chemicals found on Earth. In other words, water and dirt. There is nothing special about the recipe, other than, as you say, it surely contains a...

This is a cool conversation. It's interesting to see such a variety of veiws on the subject of life and death, which is what immortality is all about. You might even say, to be or not to be. And there always seems to be two camps divided on the matter, the religious on one hilltop, and the...
