Caregivers Are Heroes | Will’s Thoughts

Hardest To Provide Care For Now, I ain’t naming names, but I got to say that I reckon the hardest folks in the world to provide care for are caregivers. They give and give to others and yet seem to feel bad if they have needs of their own. They lie something terrible, with their biggest lie being, “I’m okay.” …

Dropping The Groupthink | By Ron Murdock

The tribe often thinks the visionary has turned his back on them. When, in fact, the visionary has simply turned his face to the future. – Ray Davis Groupthink is a word that has only been around since the early 1970’s, though in reality it has been with us since mankind started gathering in tribes. Most humans will set aside …

Don’t Watch The News Much Anymore | Will’s Thoughts

Don’t Watch The News I use to watch a lot of news. I don’t anymore for two reasons and both of them are Crazy Lady. You see, I’m that pissed off person you see yelling silently in their car at drivers up ahead, the tyrant throwing a tantrum that no one outside the car can hear. But, worst of all, …

Active Shooter Response | What To Do

The only thing more frightening in life than knowing that your life’s in imminent danger from a person hellbent of killing others, is not knowing what to do. You may say, “There’s nothing I can do” during an active shooter event, but you’re horribly wrong, because there are many things that you can do to save your life, and those …

Being Spiritually Incorrect Part One | By Ron Murdock

I don’t regard myself as one who is spiritually correct. It’s too close to being politically correct. I can’t see the need to fit into a reconceived notion of what a believer should be like. I’m searching for the truth and will go to any length to find it. To be born again is to discover new ways of doing …

By The Way… Essays And Atavisms | By Dereck C. Sale

By The Way… Essays And Atavisms I recently found myself lost in a book I received called “By the Way… Essays and Atavisms” by Dereck C. Sale. Not lost in the sense of bewilderment, but as in ‘immersed’. My fascination was twofold; first, was the realization that at any given time and at any given location anywhere in the world, …

Mental Wanderings And Random Thoughts Part 16 | By Ron Murdock

Today’s mental wanderings and random thoughts got me wondering how many people have given up on their dreams as a way of getting even with themselves, or they think they don’t deserve to have their dreams come true?

Let Us Not Rid Ourselves Of The Individual | By Ron Murdock

This is something; culture is not your friend. Culture is for other people’s convenience and the convenience of various institutions, churches, companies, tax collection schemes, what have you. It is not your friend, it insults you. It disempowers you. It uses and abuses you. None of us are well treated by culture. – Terrance McKenna If, and/or, when, and how …
