Not Mutually Exclusive
In this world of “Us vs Them” so many think that you have to be on their side or the wrong side. I just don’t see it that way. I kind of sit in the middle of the things as … Continue reading Not Mutually Exclusive

This is a continuation of my look back on my blog RedLetterLiving blog before I activate it again. This is part two of a series I wrote in June 2011 about the book “If God Is Love” by Philip Gulley. … Continue reading If God Is Love… Part 2
It Wasn’t Meant For Us…
As my regular readers might know the book shown just below has been on my annual reading list for the last dozen years. Last week was the time I did my 2020 reading of the Delany sisters. This book which … Continue reading It Wasn’t Meant For Us…
Tax Reform – Unearned Income
Anyone who has been around RJsCorner for very long knows what I think about unearned income. It is outrageous that money received that was not earned is often taxed at a lower rate than the money you earn be the sweat of your brow. To me, that is most fundamentally flawed part of our tax structure and needs to change. The vast majority of unearned income comes from inheritance taxes. Passing wealth from one generation to another is what is primarily responsible for our American Aristocracy and the resulting inequality. I know that the Republican Party, or at least what … Continue reading Tax Reform – Unearned Income
If God Is Love
This is a continuation of my look back on my blog RedLetterLiving before I activate it again. It has pretty much been in hiatus for six years now but I think it is necessary to resurrect it in order to … Continue reading If God Is Love
My µRV
For this Saturday post I give you my now completed µRV. It is a 1992 truck with a cargo cap on the back that was used in my furniture making business at the beginning of this millennium. I started changing … Continue reading My µRV
About Wikipedia…
I too often take one of my most valuable blogging resources for granted. So I thank them for periodically bringing that fact to my attention. That happened just now as I was preparing a post. A screen came up thanking me for my past contributions and asking if I might make another. I still remember those days in 1970 where I as a recent college graduate started collecting my first twenty-four volume encyclopedia. Maybe that in itself deserves note here. In those days it was not unusual for supermarkets to have things that you could collect on a weekly basis. … Continue reading About Wikipedia…
Embrace Diversity
One of the primary reasons for RJsCorner is to show you that not everyone is the same. I know we all like to be with people who think as we do but it is equally important to be around people … Continue reading Embrace Diversity
Not Taking Jesus Seriously
As mentioned last Sunday, I am putting here some foundational posts from my blog at RedLetterLiving here before I resurrect it in September. From RedLetterLiving Blog – Feb 2014 The church frustrates me. I was once asked by a wealthy … Continue reading Not Taking Jesus Seriously
Backyard Critters
It’s been an active week for backyard critters, so I thought I would give you a sampling for this Saturday post. We had a rare daylight siting of our friendly groundhog. He took up residence under our house until we … Continue reading Backyard Critters
American Aristocracy
I know that America is one of the few first world countries to never have had a king. That is one of the things I am proudest about my country. We don’t give people un earned privilege just because who … Continue reading American Aristocracy
Some Much Information, So Little Use…
I remember writing my first real essay in high school in the early 1960s. I don’t remember what the topic was, but I was determined to do a good job of it. To do that, I needed more information about … Continue reading Some Much Information, So Little Use…
We Pray To The God Of Our Mind…
I’m going to jump in here with some thoughts that are unrelated to the current series. These thoughts were spurred by a quote on the side of my mini-RV that I am prepping for the coming season. I put the … Continue reading We Pray To The God Of Our Mind…
We Pray To The God Of Our Mind
I have been contemplating just what I want to do with the Sunday’s posts here on RJsCorner. I keep coming back to my religious studies of about a decade ago that are recorded in my blog RedLetterLiving.net. That is where … Continue reading We Pray To The God Of Our Mind
An Ode To My Furry Friends
For this “chill out” Saturday post I thought I would give you a gallery of some of my furry friends in my life. I have had pets all my life. They just seem to be better friends to me than the humankind. They accept me for who I am and give unconditional love which is rare for us human beings to do. Continue reading An Ode To My Furry Friends
Our Food Is Killing Us…
We Americans are among the most unhealthy people in the world and a big part of that is due to our diet. Poor diet is the leading cause of mortality in the United States, causing more than half a million deaths per year. We will never solve our constant struggle to contain healthcare costs until we address this underlying problem. Yeah, we can tinker around the problem by changing drug prices and lowering administration costs, and reducing payments to hospital and provider but that will not drive down costs enough as long as we continue to treat our bodies as … Continue reading Our Food Is Killing Us…
Our Entrepreneurial Spirit
There are certain people who will drag us into the 21st century whether we are ready for it or not. I liken them to the pioneers of the past. People like Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, and more recently, Steve Jobs. … Continue reading Our Entrepreneurial Spirit
Our Independent Nature…
Some say America’s independent nature will prove to be our downfall. I can see some logic in that belief. Especially when “independent nature” become obnoxiously self-centered or even narcissist.Will these times be known as a paradigm shift or just a … Continue reading Our Independent Nature…
These Times Are A Blip On The Radar Screen Of Life
Let’s face it, patience is just not much of a practiced virtue anymore. Proof of that is that so many seem to think that the current lockdown is agonizing. But it is only in its fourth month. Four months is … Continue reading These Times Are A Blip On The Radar Screen Of Life
Coming Back to RedletterLiving – Again
Given that much of the church of Jesus Christ has morphed into something entirely different, I feel compelled to bring RedLetterLiving out of its six-year hiatus. So, starting soon I will be posting at least weekly here again. The posts here will appear in parallel over at my home blog at RJsCorner.net but I think it is important that is also stands alone here. It is amazing to me how many visits RedLetterLiving has gotten since I quit blogging here. The future posts will be primarily about living life as Jesus taught us in the Red Letters in the Christian … Continue reading Coming Back to RedletterLiving – Again
Siloed Data??
I have spent about half my life now in rural America, so I am familiar with silos. But it surprised me when I saw the following words in a recent New York Times post. That’s because A.I. can instantly sort … Continue reading Siloed Data??
