USA TODAY reported on June 22 that a former KKK member has been found guilty of manslaughter in the notorious 1964 murder of three civil rights workers. As a Baptist minister myself, I find it offensive that Edgar Ray Killen, the guilty Klansman, was a part-time Baptist minister.
What possesses people to be so full […]
Welcome to Part II of Steve’s University Survival Guide. Today I’ll be dispensing some hard won `insider information’ on university life that you won’t find anywhere else, because I’m making most of it up. It’s what I do.
Many university students get part-time jobs to supplement their finances, but it’s sometimes difficult to know where […]
Greetings, Steve here, welcoming you to another edition of the When Reality Knocks Lifestyle and Technology guide. Today’s topic: The Student Survival Guide, Part I.

Looking for information about soldiers suffering with PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) I stumbled on a blog with some startling statistics. I know nothing about this blog, but from what I read it seems to be anti-Bush. The report said that 5,500 America soldiers have deserted.

Greetings, Steve here. Welcome to another edition of the When Reality Knocks Guide to Being More Cynical. Today’s topic: Reality T.V.

I just came from the grocery store where two women were talking seriously in the isle. One said clearly to the other: “and you don’t use it on the outside but only on the inside.”
The second responded: “That is right. You only use it on the outside.”
I didn’t interfere, but thought that this […]
The mystery between the sexes is endless. Take, for example, a little experiment. If we take ten men and show them pictures of ten different woman, ask them what they think their names are and what their personalities are like we will get an immense variety of responses.
They all see the same pictures of the […]
Greetings, welcome to another edition of the When Reality Knocks Lifestyle and Technology Guide: Today, Part II of my Guide to Being Organised.

How do I know what career to choose? Is the right thing to rely on well meaning advice from others? There are a whole host of people ready and willing to influence our choice of a career. Parents, family, leaders, neighbors, school guidance counselors, faculty advisers in universities. All have what seems to be […]

In our community there was a woman who insisted her son should be a minister. My friends and I never saw it. He was the most unlikely person. He now sells gas.
Parents insist on this kind of labeling. My son will be a doctor, a lawyer, or other professional. Maybe, but not necessarily so. Perhaps […]

Greetings all. Sorry I’ve been off the map lately, I’ve been fighting a Summer cold/flu thing. It’s not by choice, it’s just that it’s the “in” thing these days, all the celebrities are doing it. Jon bon Jovi has a cancour sore, John Stewart has the gout and Britney Spears has the worst case of […]
