Following Christ is not for the faint of heart. Striving to be a Kingdom man isn’t about packing up and taking a vacation. It’s about getting your mind right, your gear packed and heading into war. It’s more important now than ever before to stand up for what’s right and just in the eyes of the Lord and seek His Truth. This ain’t a cruise ship fellas, it’s a battle ship. So buckle up and get ready for the truth. The Uncomfortable Truth.

SHOW NOTES:There are myriad claims on social media that are justified by the author observing (or being a self-proclaimed expert in) "body language." I have always thought this was ridiculous, sort of a faux psychological claim of expertise. Of course, the French have long studied graphology (handwriting) to determine behavioral traits (hard in a w…

SHOW NOTES:One of the most corrupted words in the language recently is "unicorn," which is a mythical creature. "Mythical" means "not real."Yet all kinds of people have decided they are unicorns and, therefore, are unique, better than others, more valuable.Yet if so many people are appropriating the title, then are they really "unique"?Outstanding …

SHOW NOTES:Here's just a part of the obituary of my friend and former subordinate, Francis X. McGuire from 2010:"...a unique man whose professional life began as a late night disc-jockey in New York City, led him to serve in the Kennedy White House, work for the ABC network (hiring Ted Koppel), to be on the ground floor side-by-side with Fred Smith…

SHOW NOTES:Fight, Flight, Fright, or Fall Down QuakingWe feel powerless in an age of volatility and disruption, of lack of trust in our institutions, and of polarization among those supposed to represent our best interests and not merely their own.Fight or flight has added fright to the equation, but it seems to me there's also the new option of hi…

SHOW NOTES: Covid was a surprise, but not completely unexpected. Financial people were prepared for some "big event."The scientific, medical, and political responses were mixed, politicized, and hurtful.In retrospect, was it necessary to suspend schools and deny kids of years of learning and socialization; to prevent families from assembling for im…

SHOW NOTES:Why are politicians asking for support without revealing the party they represent? Because they're embarrassed or duplicitous, or both?Why don't they admit to errors their party has made, or they have made? "We shouldn't have supported this" or "I'm sorry I supported that."Why campaign as if fighting an enemy (the other party) instead of…

SHOW NOTES:There are jobs that many of us would prefer not to have and businesses we'd prefer not to own, but they provide valuable services. Someone has to run funeral parlors, cemeteries, cesspool cleaning, mold removal, and junkyards. Personally, I wouldn't like to pick up garbage, but we need the service or the rats would overwhelm us.Then ther…

SHOW NOTES:When I was teaching a graduate course as a "side hustle" for MBA and PhD candidates at the University of Rhode Island, I inherited a student who claimed he had ADHD and the "documentation was coming from health services."

SHOW NOTES:The odds were better for the biggest longshot in the Kentucky Derby. An American has become Pope. It was said that no American could become Pope because the church wouldn't vest its power in someone with a Super Power. I would think, however, that there is no greater Super Power than God, so we shouldn't worry.Many people are pointing ou…

SHOW NOTES:•There was once a Readers Digest staple by this name, still available in summaries.•Here's mine. Keep in mind, when you critique someone who happens to be black, it's 'de rigueur' to announce, "I'm not a racist." Well, I'm announcing to you that I'm not a Trump supporter (and I'm also not a racist).•Years ago we thought about selling our…

Show Notes:I knew kids in high school and college who cheated. They stole exams or looked at other people's answers or had someone else take tests for them. (Ironically, grammar school was far more honest!) My daughter had a friend whom she abandoned because of her chronic cheating and requests to help her out. She even cheated at sports unless the…

Show Notes:•Quality diminishes as numbers increase.•As everyone joins in, fewer and fewer real authorities.•A guy doesn't publish directly, but is "presented" by others so you can't block his inanities.
