Since this is the last post of 2022, it’s time for me to look back on this year that is soon to end. I couldn’t find an image that had a giant “Past” circle and a much smaller future one, so I settled for this one. I have been in my RetCom (retirement community) for going on to two calendar years now! Time flies, especially … Continue reading Looking Back
As last year, I spent Christmas day this year by myself in my RetCom (retirement community) apartment. It was a peaceful time. Being that a week later, it would be another new year, I contemplated what I would like to see this coming year look like. I am a planner to my soul, but for this day I was in the dream mode rather than … Continue reading How I Spent My Christmas Day
Christmas Day 2012 We only got a couple of inches of snow for Christmas this year, but it brought back memories of Christmas 2012. Do you have any special remembrances of past year’s Christmas snows? Continue reading Christmas Snow
I don’t understand this, but if you take a person with an IQ of 100 and put him in a crowd, his IQ almost immediately drops to 80. That certainly is the case for the MAGA crowd/mob, isn’t it? Those folks just can’t afford that much drop. I guess you could say the same thing about sporting events, especially in Europe. I don’t know how … Continue reading There Ain’t Nothin That Lowers The IQ Of A Man More Than Puttin Him In A Crowd
Remember Jesus’ intention in coming to earth was not to get praise, but to teach us how to live our lives and love each other. Merry Christmas From RJsCorner Continue reading In Celebration of Jesus’ Birth
Something I pride myself in is being a disruptor. The status quo bores me! Usually, in today’s world, by the time something becomes the status quo it is no longer relevant and is in serious need of change. An important part of life is to realize that change is constant. There’s nothing you can do to prevent that. Sure, you can stick your head in … Continue reading I Am A Disruptor, But…
Let’s do a techie post today about email scams. I, personally, use Apple Mail as my email app, and it does a pretty good job of putting junk mail into a separate basket. But, sometimes a few get through. Here is one way to find out if an email is legit. As you see in the example above, ERC Gov Refund Instruction is supposedly where … Continue reading Email Scams … I Wish They Had
What a very noble idea from John Pavolvitz (click to see more from him). It sounds kind of Native-American to me, but I don’t think he intended it to be. He is what I would look like on steroids, He is constantly questioning why the church is on a tragic path of destruction. I see from the latest statistics that U.S. Christians will soon be … Continue reading The Perfect Holiday Message
I came across a post I put out a little over five years ago that deserves another go around. I think it will help some of my newer readers understand why I post the way I do, and it helped me to remember where my roots are. I have kinda drifted away from that recently. Just click on the icon below to go there. Continue reading It’s Just Who I Am
I am a retired IT (information technology) guy, so I can tell you that the primary reason that Amazon has been able to gobble up market share in every field it enters is because of its phenomenal computer infrastructure/database. I was one of those fortunate enough to have bought some shares of the company more ten years ago. I wish I had bought more. 🥴. … Continue reading Amazon Works Because…
I’m going to let you in on a little secret: I’m A Liberal I’ll let you in on another secret. The definition of a liberal is: Someone who can’t be happy until everyone is happy Another way of saying that is that I am a lifelong guy for the underdog and I simply gush empathy in almost everything I do. I can’t help it, it … Continue reading About The “L” Word
I don’t post at RedLetterLiving.net very often anymore, but I think that is going to change going forward. It surprises me how many views RLL get even after so many years in hiatus. RedLetterLiving started its four-year journey in 2008. That seems like ages ago considering how much has changed since then, especially in my view of Christianity, and the Biblical theology. But I am … Continue reading Getting Back To The Red Letters…

As the name implies, it will be stories about our lives and will … Continue reading Calling All Storytellers & Wannabe Storytellers
I love this quote 😎. I am a techie and a senior citizen, so I just can’t understand why so many in my RetCom are so averse to technology? But, then again, one of the RetComs I visited this summer had 75% of the residents choosing to receive their daily information via smartphone, tablet, or computer. I think it comes down to just convincing seniors … Continue reading Senior Citizens & Technology
I just passed my 76th year on this earth and my age is showing more and more as each day passes. I know my cognition is becoming more difficult for me. Where I used to write a post here on RJsCorner in10-15 minutes it now sometimes takes an hour. I am physically stumbling more now. I have to accept it that these types of things … Continue reading I Worry About Old Men Being In Charge
John P. Weiss is one of my regular blog visits each week. I am envious of his sketching talents, and reading his stories help me to be a better writer. If you want to see one of his posts click HERE. Vincent Van Gough is one of my favorite artists. His paintings speak to me on a level that few others do. As Vincent did, … Continue reading The Thing About Conformity
