CoffeeTime: “WANT MORE ENERGY? GET ANGRY”
Listless, undriven? Feel like you need a motivation just to get out of bed or roll off your couch? One sure-fire way to feel a spark of enthusiasm and vinegar that courses through your mind and body is to feel abrupt uncontrolled anger. Suddenly your body comes alive, with each nerve ending standing up and…
Read MoreCoffeeTime: “THE ‘I JUST LOVE THAT OL’ BOY’ DUDE”
Recently we were in a lot of different churches, where we were introduced to a bunch of people and made a lot of new friends. Met a lot of smiling, friendly folks – but also a few who probably wouldn’t remove their frown if they were standing in front of Jesus, face to face. But…
Read MoreCoffeeTime: LET ME SAY THIS! !*&^%+%7*&(ijokjr^%rgyj!!
For anyone, reading and understanding the title of this column is pretty impossible. The reason is plain – I just closed my eyes and pressed random keys, so it makes absolutely no sense to …
Read MoreCoffeeTime: “HERE, HOLD MY ROPE”
Susie and her older sister went for a walk on the country road near her home. As they stepped onto the arched bridge that spanned a rushing creek, Susie stopped midstride. Her sister, not realizing she was now alone on the bridge, just kept walking and talking about the grim problems they each faced in…
Read MoreCoffeeTime: “THESE TOUGH MEN ARE RARE”
Seems my own version of ‘tough men,’ are rarely found any more, and the modern version of tough men are weak in comparison. Politically, today the phrase characterizes a person who fights for the causes he believes will benefit his people – or likely himself. Physically, it’s a man who has the capability and determination…
Read MoreCoffeeTime: “FORTUNE TELLERS DON’T EVEN KNOW YOUR NAME”
They seem to be everywhere in any town you drive through. Signs promoting the services of a local ‘TAROT CARD READER,’ ‘FORTUNE TELLER,’ and ‘PALM READER’ seem to be on every block. Look online and there are also the online psychics – the “Call me, and I’ll tell you your future” people. And don’t forget,…
Read MoreCoffeeTime: “WRONG PLACE AND TIME, BUT TOTALLY INNOCENT, OF COURSE”
You and I hear them, the stories of people who insist they are totally innocent of any wrongdoing. Yet they are definitely identified as being at the scene of the crime, in the company of the criminals. How does that happen? Realistically, how often does a person just happen to find themselves in the wrong…
Read MoreCoffeeTime: “NOTHING FUN ABOUT IT, USUALLY”
“I am not stupid! Ignorant maybe, but certainly not totally stupid.” The rallying cry of most of us. Everyone feels better when they have at least a little bit of knowledge concerning …
Read MoreCoffeeTime: “BETTER LEARN TO HOLD YOUR HOLT”
You’ve lived long enough to have heard a bunch of tired cliches and old sayings, I know. One of Andy’s favorites from an old friend is this; “Better hold your holt.” His meaning? Hold your holt…holding on for dear life to your faith in God. No matter what you are facing. Especially when you’re going…
Read MoreCoffeeTime: “DON’T LIVE THERE, JUST VISIT ONCE”
Most people have a bad habit. Nah, I don’t want to hear about your overeating- cigarette smoking- drug taking- lying- stealing- cheating, or tantrum throwing lifestyle. Moronic as those things are, everyone has another even more idiotic talent that we indulge. Yep, most of us do stupid, and unfortunately we do it a lot. We…
