    My friend John and I spent a few days at sea aboard his Bayliner fishing and shrimping in the rain on Prince William Sound. As a young boy, rainy day fishing always was more productive. As an old duffer, it stills proves true . . . you know the fishing is good when you have to harpoon…

    NASA’s just released James Webb Space Telescope’s spectacular deep space images of our unseen universe imparted an ambivalent consciousness of my own finite, trivial minuteness and God’s infinite, stunning immensity. Today my 24/7/365 Last Frontier backyard ‘Nature Channel’ displayed terra-firma exhibits of His magnificence, imparting a peaceful assurance . . . “Heaven is my throne,…

    The wonders of Creation never cease to amaze and fascinate me. This morning Mother Nature revealed a Beauty and the Beast display outside our Great Smoky Mountains abode here down in the ‘holler’ by the ‘crick’. Rhododendron blooms’ perfumed beauty are definitely more appealing than frightening, ugly dobsonflies, but each has their place and purpose…

    With over a million different kinds, insects represent the most numerous of all life forms on earth. I grateful the Creator gave them exoskeletons to lug around and considerably limit their size. Had they endoskeletons like us, we’d be impossibly outnumbered, tripping over ants, swatting mosquitoes with baseball bats, and Orkin exterminators would be packing,…

Entertaining, far-fetched cinema back then, still serves as an ominous warning in today’s contentious world. Today’s sunrise was a Red Dawn of a more peaceful genre,…
