and another thing. I used to be a political junkie. I thrived during an election cycle as they’re called. However, I’ve progressed in a digressive way. I don’t suscribe to the weekly news magazines anymore (you can read them for free on-line anyway). I don’t watch the political gab shout down shows anymore. Talk radio is [...]
Thursday
Gonna be another short one because the other post I’ve been writing is getting longer and longer and changed and changed. Whew! Thinking can be such a chore sometimes.
Friday will mark three complete weeks of the most physical job I’ve ever had. And I’m still sore though it’s improving bit by bit. If you don’t know [...]
Wednesday
One of my favorite features of “blog stats” is seeing the search engine terms people have used to purposefully, or accidently stumble across my blog. Here are some from today as they appear.
1. “Rex Boyles” “Church of Christ” – Poor searcher. They went looking for a class act and ended up in the freak show.
2. [...]
The Island of Misfit Toys.
Rudolph (the red nosed reindeer), Hermes (the elf who wanted to be a dentist), and Yukon Cornelius (the crazy man with a pick-axe) were nearly eaten by a gigantic, grouchy, shag-carpeted snowman whose teeth looked like vampire fangs from a leftover Halloween costume. In the instant before their grisly [...]

Some days you just can’t win.
In 1991-92 I worked as a missionary in Toluca, Mexico. Real missionaries learn the native tongue and my bungling of the Spanish language was an indication I was no real missionary. I just don’t have the knack for learning the barbaric tongues of the heathen.
Case in point. My shower drain stopped up. I went to [...]
Happy Feet
I don’t have children so I oftentimes lag behind when it comes to watching movies billed as family entertainment. Which is not to say I watch movies billed as adult entertainment. I don’t. Anyway, I saw Happy Feet tonight for the first time and I confess to crying. I cried for the fish. Either way, [...]
My spiritual heroes
My new spiritual heroes are what I call the “barely theres.” They are the ones who barely make it to church. They are the ones who tend to sit towards the back and ignore all pleas to move forward. They are the ones who sometimes leave after the Lord’s Supper. They are the ones whose [...]
A curse with a built in blessing?
Darn that Adam and Eve. Why couldn’t they have left that fruit alone. If I had lived back then I can’t say if I would have resisted the urge to try it, but I can promise you it would not have come about from a conversation with a snake. I hate them. Before the devil [...]
