‘Let no one who is not eager for truth and peace enter here’ (Plato)

Articles on this site express varying points of view, to encourage mature thinking on serious issues.

Hooting To An Owl

Each evening birdlover Tom stood in his backyard, hooting like an owl – and one night, an owl called back to him. For a year, the man and his feathered friend hooted back and forth. He even kept a log of the “conversation.” Just as he thought he was on the verge of a breakthrough […]

Texas

A Texas rancher, visiting a South Dakota farmer friend, asked him to show him his farm. After seeing the 1,000 acre spread, the Texan bragged that down home he could get into his car, drive all day, and by evening would not have gotten to the distant point of his ranch.

Proof Reading

God To Noah

So one day God calls down to Noah . . . . and says, “Noah, I want you to build another Ark, but this time I don’t just want a couple of decks – I want 20 decks, one on top of the other”. “Twenty decks!?”, screams Noah, “Well, OK, whatever you say. Should I […]

Life Explained

Hi love, hows ya week? This might help get it together… On the first day, God created the cow. God said, “You must go to the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk to support the farmer. I will give you a life span of […]
