You ever get that feeling? That you know which person, place or thing is going to win an award or accolade? It’s a rare gift to anticipate the results, and most of the time these kinds of decisions are made based on results or conditions, but sometimes it seems like they are totally arbitrary. Which…
Anyone familiar with apologetics? It’s this concept that reasoned communication in support of a theory, belief or doctrine (usually spiritual) will help win people over to that belief, and the idea behind it is that this method of discussion is actually more useful than the typical debate format.

I’ve talked about motivations before dear readers, and I’ve hinted at how I stay on top of goals, but I don’t believe I have really and truly detailed for you the significance of keeping a variety of functional lists available at your fingertips at all times…
