THE CYCLE THAT WE ALL RIDE
Age 10: Oh, no! That’s really horrible! He was so young!!! How did it happen??? [more…]
Through my share of both good times and challenges, I've learned that life is hard, but God is good — so I've always tried to put my faith into action. This Web site has been my labor of love since 1997. I hope that it and my ministry will bless, inspire, and empower you. I've written about 6,000 posts here, but those that I think are the most important, are marked with the MOST IMPORTANT tag.
Christmas, 2017, I suffered a massive second stroke, that "disconnected" my entire left side from my brain and hospitalized me for a whole month. Through months of hundreds of hours of rehabilitation, I slowly learned how to open my tightly-clenched left fist, turn my head, raise my left hand, sit, walk, add and subtract, etc. Even now, I still suffer many permanent results from my two strokes.
There's a thin line between
being committed
and
being committed

Last week, a good friend of mine sent me a hilarious text message.

I first noticed it while driving on a highway, miles from home.
At highway speed, every time the car hit a bump, I would hear a noise.

Everyone who knows me, knows that I love children, and for several decades, I’ve loved to be a fatherly, Christian influence on their young lives.
That’s why, today, I heard from several people, all wishing me a Happy Father’s Day! [more…]
One of the biggest joys of my ministry, is being able to spend time with kids.
Since her birth, a few short years ago, I had known about her, loved her, and had helped her in various ways, from a distance.
But yesterday, [more…]
If you’ve spent much time at all on this site, you know that I love and do everything I can for my three “adopted grandsons,” Mr. Peanut, and his two younger brothers, Ahmari and Braylen.

This afternoon, I was honored to be invited to the elementary school graduation of the smart, sweet, and very responsible daughter of one of my friends.
First, several teachers and administrators announced and gave out awards, scholarships, medals, and certificates [more…]
I often go to bed at night with NOTHING on my calendar for the next day.
But often, the next day quickly fills up with any number of the following — and other — needs:
An early morning [more…]
With over 23 million visits since 1997, ComputerBob.com has always been a very popular site.
A few decades ago, I discovered how popular it was, when my web host notified me that my site was going to be shut down, because it [more…]
I still remember that, while we were frantically trying to get ready to leave my wife’s parents’ house to go to the church for our wedding, old friends of my wife’s parents suddenly drove up with their teenaged daughters (one of whom had “been in love” with me while I had been wooing my wife). They cluelessly thought that [more…]
A few days ago, early the other afternoon, my wife took me to my retina specialist, as she does every 6-8 weeks, to get the shot into my left eye that keeps it from slowly going blind.
She had to drive me, because this was one of my regular [more…]
More than a decade ago, my wife and I gave $5,000 of our life’s savings, to an attorney, so that a “very concerned” couple who said that they were “in Christian ministry” could get legal custody of what they told us was their “endangered” newborn (great) granddaughter.
After court, the little baby girl went to [more…]
Today, while studying this website’s traffic logs, I noticed a disturbing pattern: Several people, from several countries had been blocked from this site for the same reason —
They had all tried to post a comment below one of this site’s postings.
None of the blocked visitors [more…]
You may or may not have heard of “cache” (pronounced, “cash”) software. But, during the past few months, I’ve done a lot of research and testing of different cache software plugins for this, my WordPress website.
Normally, when you run a WordPress site, every time someone [more…]
Anyone who wants to, can see that since the early 1980’s — first on paper and in print; later on this site and on several others, as well as in several other forms and formats — I’ve been a busy little bee. A very prolific writer, quickly approaching 6,000 posts on this site alone (see this page’s footer).
I don’t know the future, but [more…]
It’s Category 5 now, and it’s coming here.
Unfortunately, during a whole day of hard work yesterday by myself in a constant drizzle, and due to my two strokes, I could only very slowly install about 10 of our 100 or so metal hurricane shutters.
Today, I have [more…]
Here is an actual quote from the nationally televised Trump/Harris 2024 Presidential debate.
A very creative and talented man turned a few of Mr. Trump’s incredibly ignorant, reckless, and racist statements into a hilarious viral music video, to make fun of him.
If you want to confirm that Mr. Trump actually said those things, [more…]
I started HTML coding in 1996, by studying the HTLM of existing web sites. That’s how I’ve coded ever since, except that, in 2008, I figured out how to convert all 7xx of my existing web pages to WordPress. But I didn’t want to spend my time learning and using the “easy” WordPress Gutenberg block editor with all of its menus and buttons. I continued to code in [more…]
