BEHEMOTH AND LEVIATHAN

INSPIRATIONAL LIFE OUTTAKES, LIFE HACK RAMBLINGS

The Crux Of The Story The story in the Bible centers around a patriarch named Job (In the Book of Job) who was allowed by God to be tortured by Satan so that his staunch allegiance to his Creator could be tested. During the course of his heart wrenching conversation with God, statements are made that has the suffering soul think about the consequences of dealing with two enormous beasts that existed during his lifespan. Beasts that were created by God for purposes understood by no one, […]

POST CIVIL WAR RECKONING

INSPIRATIONAL LIFE OUTTAKES, LIFE HACK RAMBLINGS, MY LEARNING TO WRITE FILES

If I Were Alive Back Then When I watch movies or documentaries about the Civil War, I rarely see much that deals with the Reconstruction Period that took place afterwards. It seems that whatever I do find has to do with the way slaves were treated and what happened to them when set free. Very little is said about the trials and tribulations that everyone else went through at that time. Since I was born in the South, I guess I could think of myself as a […]

HUNTING FOR SPORT TO ANIMAL ADVOCATE

A HYBRID COUNTRY LIFE, INSPIRATIONAL LIFE OUTTAKES, LIFE HACK RAMBLINGS

Kid Hunter I remember when I lived in California as a youth, I would often go hunting with my dad up to the northern part of the State for game like wild ducks, pheasants, quail and such. For my weapon of choice, he bought me a 4-10 shotgun which could fire only one shell at a time before requiring me to reload. It was a Christmas present and I cherished it, not only because it was my first weapon, but also because he allowed me to have […]

DEALING WITH OBSOLETE ELECTRONIC DEVICES

A HYBRID COUNTRY LIFE, BRAINSTORMING A BUDGET PLAN, LIFE HACK RAMBLINGS

My Apps Are Fading Away I was recently informed by my online bank that their App running on my iPhone 6 Plus in the iOS 13.0 configuration would no longer be supported and that I must upgrade to a device that would handle iOS 14.0 or better. I had already been booked out of the LOWES Home Improvement App over a month ago, and Capital One was next.  To accommodate these purveyors of forward looking software machinations, I would have to upgrade my device to an iPhone […]

A RELUCTANT HERO

GENERAL

Antagonistic Hombre Imagine someone you know who is always in a bad mood and simply hates the world he lives in. A man who treats everyone around him like inferior human beings who simply stand in the way of his ultimate goal of getting anything he wants at someone else’s expense. Just a subversive character who makes sure he does unto others before they do unto him. You might wonder what made that creep turn into the horrifying creature that he eventually became. Or maybe think that […]

CAN EVIL PEOPLE BE SAVED_PART I: FIRST THOUGHTS

INSPIRATIONAL LIFE OUTTAKES, LIFE HACK RAMBLINGS

Image by Gerd Altmann from Pixabay  My Thoughts On Judas Iscariot When Jesus Christ chose his apostles, the one he knew would later betray him was already possessed of the devil. Judas Iscariot was a lover of money above all else and this was his evil undoing. Even though he followed the Savior’s teachings for three years, his heart was bent on selfish ambitions. I have often asked Christian leaders that I associated with an ominous question. In spite of all biblical evidence to the contrary, was there any possibility […]

IN SEARCH OF THE PERFECT BURGER: PART II

A HYBRID COUNTRY LIFE, LIFE HACK RAMBLINGS, MY COUNTRY COOKING DIARIES

Rehash On January 21st, 2019 I published my personal dissertation on searching for the Perfect Burger (In Search Of The Perfect Burger: Part I). As of this date, I still haven’t found a place that serves one. At least not in this day and age. We have a restaurant here called Ed’s Restaurant that serves a burger called the Pub Burger that is the best one in town, but it still depends heavily on the condiments it is served with. The size of the patty is such […]

GOD’S HEAVY HAND

INSPIRATIONAL LIFE OUTTAKES, MY LEARNING TO WRITE FILES

Essay by Stephen J. Key   This was an essay I wrote for a writing contest. I misunderstood the rules and wrote 2000 words instead of the required 2000 characters. There was no reply and I buried the submission in my archives until now. I have presented it here in the hope of providing inspiration for those of you who are facing, or  have faced extreme trials in your own life. Alone On The Seashore The lake was peaceful and serene in the evening sunset as he […]

SOPHISTICATED SCAMS TO FOOL ANYONE

A HYBRID COUNTRY LIFE, LIFE HACK RAMBLINGS, MY LEARNING TO WRITE FILES

Image by Stephen Key/SJKeyChronicles  So You Think You Know It All Scam artists are as intelligent as any criminal element out there. I once heard a statement from a preacher on radio who said “criminals involved in money crimes could earn ten times as much legitimately as they do illegally because they are smart”. They choose to do the latter because of the thrill of discovering that they can get away with it. For how long? Doesn’t matter! It’s in their mantra, kind of like a disease. […]
