And man became a living soul.

  1  Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us, 2  Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word; 3  It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus, 4  That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed. As you may see, these are not my words. They are the opening of the Gospel According to Luke. According , not the original autograph. Oral tradition, pasted down from generation to generation with some writings, notes and statements from eyewitnesses who were most likely advanced in age and not elevated in the Jewish hierarchy prevailing at the time. So,  whomever “Luke” was, he felt compelled to take quill in hand at great risk to compile what he believed to be an accurate...

The Unemployed Brother in Law

Image
  Stop worrying about what’s “legal!” Keep your mind on making America great again. If you have an unemployed brother in law, what do you do? Ok ok, I know. Wife’s brother, special needs and all that. But his mouth still works. His dick still works. And usually, depending on age, he’s a member of some stupid-ass religion with all kinds of rules saying you must support him because Jesus loves him, and God will hate you if you give him the good old bum’s rush. I hear all that. After you have had enough you just have one too many one night and throw him out. And I mean out! Don’t pay the first month’s rent, don’t give him a date, just set his stuff in the driveway. It’s nice if it’s raining. Depending upon her looks and attitude you might want to keep his lady friend around for a bit as a preemptive measure because when he ends up sitting on top of his stuff on the sidewalk your wife, his sister will almost surely leave you and his ex could be your next. Stranger things have happened....

Gave us a little piece of her heart

Image
  “Janis Joplin walked into a San Francisco bar one night in 1967, unassuming, wearing her signature round glasses, wild curls framing her face. She had no grand entrance. No one recognized her yet.  Then, she stepped onto the stage, grabbed the microphone, and as soon as her voice sliced the air, the entire room fell silent. A raspy, soul-wrenching wail filled the space, cutting through the chatter and clinking glasses.  Raw, untamed, and electric. A moment later, people were on their feet, some crying, others frozen. Janis didn’t just sing. She bled into her songs. That night, she left the stage with a new reputation: the woman who could silence a room with her pain. Born in Port Arthur, Texas, she grew up feeling like an outcast. She loved the blues: Bessie Smith, Lead Belly, Ma Rainey, when most girls her age were listening to pop hits. In high school, she was bullied for her looks, called cruel names, and she struggled to fit in. By the time she was a teenager, she h...

Chicken Fried Steak

Image
  Texas comfort food doesn’t get more iconic than Chicken Fried Steak—a Lone Star legend that’s been sizzling in skillets since the 19th century! While its roots stretch back to German and Austrian immigrants in the Texas Hill Country, this crispy, gravy-smothered masterpiece became a true Texan creation by the early 1900s. Picture German settlers like the Volga Deutsch, who arrived in the 1840s with recipes for Wiener Schnitzel—breaded veal cutlets. In cattle-rich Texas, they swapped veal for cheap, tough beef cuts like round steak, tenderized it with a mallet, and fried it up like Southern fried chicken. Add a ladle of creamy pepper gravy, and a star was born. The dish took off in the ranching towns of Central and West Texas, where beef was plentiful and cooks needed hearty meals for hardworking cowboys. By the 1930s, it was a diner staple, especially along highways like Route 66, where truck stops and cafés—like the Blue Bonnet in Marble Falls—served it with mashed potatoes and ...

Walking With Giants

Image
  It may come as a surprise to you as you struggle to just live through the day and suddenly realize that you have been walking with giants all along. As while I was doing those two years convalescing up in there in Screw-All Tennessee, trying to get enough courage to just jump off in the Cumberland River, I never thought that one day I’d be sitting here with one film on Amazon Prime, another in post production, a third on a storyboard waiting to launch, a new book out , and two music videos topping. God bless Texas! Click image for Kielia preview     In 2021 thirteen doctors crowded around me trying to figure out just what stage of dementia I was at. My family, and I use that term loosely, had put me in the Wellington Institute for non-intrusive dying and I was PROceeding with all possible dispatch. Then Pam sprung me, I’ll never know why.   I ended up driving a bobtail truck from Salt Lake City to Nashville with my son Wilbur giving me a little help toward the end...
