7-19-17 If I Could Put Time In A Bottle

Well, I'm back to being flat again I think. At least I'm not trying to run over anyone with my van. Just when I think I can't do anything else to surprise myself I surprise myself. Anyway, the dogs woke me up early so I've been thinking who am I anyway. Mom was born a Martinat so I have those genes from her. Dad was born a Baker so I have those genes too. I can't find anything on Dad's real parents. Who were Dad's real parents? Why did they give him up? Were they too poor to keep him or was he an unexpected child, a mistake like myself? I was an unexpected child. Mom told me that the Doctor told her that I never should have been. What in the hell is that even supposed to mean? What kind of a parent even tells their child such an incredibly stupid fucking thing as that? I never should have been. So why the hell am I here? Did God just have a left over soul and say well let's just throw it in here and see what happens and hope for the best. What a way to start your life. Anyway back to Dad. I wonder if he ever wondered about his real parents? Did he accept being a Martinat or did he feel like an outcast? I'll never know I suppose. Dad never really talked to me. What kind of Father doesn't talk to his child? I guess he expected me to talk to him.Or maybe he didn't have anything to say. I don't talk much either verbally. I express myself through writing. I don't really care about the grammar it's the thought that counts. Well, it's breakfast time for the dogs and they want to be fed so I'll continue this later.

9-16-23 Santa Staleness

Santa Staleness :: By Edwin Tan Published on: December 24, 2022 by RR10 Category:General Articles My one and only trip to Israel had more than a profound effect on my present-day psyche. It might have been three decades ago, but there is more than a lingering aftertaste. It happened smack in the last fortnight of the year. Surprisingly absent were the familiar sights and sounds of the Christmas most people are accustomed to. Hardly any Christmas decorations in downtown Tel Aviv, if not any of the shopping thoroughfares across the Holy Land. Hanukah was a breath of fresh air – not anything resembling a Christmas carol most people grew up with did surface. The Christmas Eve service in a small Protestant church not far away from Jerusalem’s Old City was awesome; songs that truly celebrated the virgin birth of our Lord, which though seemingly unheard of, were a welcome inspiration to many a soul. There was even one sung in Arabic! So it began, my overt disdain for the secular Christmas t...

9-25-23 The Farm Chronicles: One Christmas

The Farm Chronicles: One Christmas :: By Bill Wilson Published on: December 24, 2022 by RR10 Category:Bill Wilson, General Articles There are a lot of terrible things going on right now in the world. But we are at the time of the year when we, as Christians, celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. We can choose to be impacted by the world around us in its dimly lit arena, or we can choose to let our light so shine. I choose the latter. I want to tell you a little about the Christmas that I had growing up on our family farm in Ohio. I was blessed to be born into a horse and cattle farm that has been in our family for some 200 years. And Christmas, especially Christmas Eve, was a wonderful time for our family. December 24 was my Dad’s birthday. And my Dad was well-loved by his neighbors and friends, so we had a lot going on Christmas Eve. I remember one special Christmas Eve. I must have been about four years old. The night was falling, and the wind and snow were whipping across the barny...

9-15-23 Miracles 2

Miracles 2 :: By Jim Towers Published on: December 21, 2022 by RR10 Category:General Articles This story is a continuation of the exciting things God continues doing in my life. I was supposed to have died a while back, and sometimes I feel as though I may do so soon. But since I’m ready to meet my maker, I have no fear of death. In fact, my evangelistic zeal has only increased, especially as I see the fast approaching of the “Tribulation period” mentioned in the book of Revelation. Insofar as my acting career is concerned, I just finished filming a soliloquy featuring Melchior, one of the three Magi who followed the star to Christ lying in the manger, and am preparing to portray a Jewish Priest on stage. Like I said, God is working overtime in my life, and I will be appearing on stage singing Broadway show tunes sometime in March, so I have a lot of rehearsing to do. In the meantime, I will be signing Christmas carols acapella at a park here in Naples. Since it is a spontaneous th...
