Did you hear the one about AI?
You can’t swing a dead meme across the internet these days without hitting something in the AI. So here is a question you can answer depending on your age. Doesn’t AI kind of remind you of “No,” you protest, “all of that stuff was fun.” Yeah, I get it. Millions
Your Story
When you were a kid, did anyone in authority ever ask you, “So what’s your story?” If they did, you were probably in trouble — or about to be. If you told the story well, though, you might just be spared. Personally I was never daring enough to make up
More than you can ask or imagine
Do Good Talks 2025 was held in Scottsdale, Arizona last week. But it is far from over! First, thanks to all of you who supported the event, whether by attending, registering, encouraging, praying or helping in any other way. We couldn’t have done it without you. Second, deep thanks to
A great idea
Other than sports (my favorite!), a lot of what’s on TV these days are “unscripted” (ha!) shows. (Survivor still survives, and Duck Dynasty may return.) But there are also series, like NCIS or Matlock or any number of FBI somethings. In the 1940s, movie theaters often showed a “serial” that
Something to Say, Part 2
THIS IS THE WEEK! Do Good Talks 2025 begins one week from today, on May 9, and if you haven’t registered yet do it now. https://dogoodu.com/do-good-talks-2025 It doesn’t get any simpler than that, and we really want to see you there. We have people coming from Tennessee, from Illinois, from
Something to say…
Starting in the year 2000 and going through 2022, an annual auction was held for lunch with Warren Buffett. In case you don’t know Mr. Buffett, nicknamed “The Oracle of Omaha,” he is the chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, and has been since 1965. (Mr. Buffett is now 94.)
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
Have you ever had one of those days? I mean like the title of this article days? A day where you experienced the entire gamut of life in a 24 hour period? You could almost feel like you were a pawn (or some other chess piece) in a cosmic battle
The Golf Club that hosts the Masters does good
Even if you aren’t a golfer, you might know that one of the biggest tournaments every year is called the Masters. The tournament was first held in 1934 on a golf course that was co-designed by Bobby Jones, the greatest amateur golfer ever, and Alister MacKenzie, one of the greatest
People are crazy
Some readers will recognize that phrase as the title of a song by Billy Currington. Written by Bobby Bradock and Troy Jones, it tells the story of a young man sitting next to an old man in a bar, having some beers and “swappin’ I don’t cares.” Then the old
Jimmy Buffet Escapes
How I got there was an interesting path, but where I landed was even more interesting. It was on a longish quote by Jimmy Buffet about his music, copied here. “It’s pure escapism is all it is…I’m not the first one to do it, nor shall I probably be the
Are you entitled?
Perhaps you know the name Nick Faldo. If you have followed professional golf in the last ten years, the odds are pretty good that you do. He’s a British lad who achieved a lot in the game and has now become a popular announcer of golf for CBS. The other
Does doing good come with risks?
A new friend asked me recently if people who routinely do good (he was referring to Christians, but the question applies to anyone) are likely to be taken advantage of by those who do evil. It’s a good question, and I thought I’d written about it not long ago. But
