Recently I saw a TV ad for great invention: a stuffed animal that glows, and even projects light onto the ceiling to comfort a child who has difficulty with bedtime or falling asleep and remaining asleep. If the child is afraid of the dark, this invention would benefit them all the more.
But...
I'm a Christian, but...
Some conservatives think I'm not a Christian because I'm a nudist;
Some liberals think I'm not a Christian because I carry a gun;
Some people wonder: where does a nudist conceal a gun?
I wonder what Jesus would say?
Hopefully, something like: "How about a skinny-dip...
Out behind the Virginia Science Museum in Richmond sits a steam locomotive.
Not a spectacular exhibit with placards and audio recordings, just a small engine with its cab and ladders boarded up to prevent climbing and entry, with signs admonishing people to keep off the structure.
The thick...
There are two ways to make a horseshoe:
One way consists of the blacksmith buying bars or rods of steel, cutting them to the correct length to fit around the horse's foot, forging them (heating and hammering) into the correct shape (the familiar U-shape with rectangular edges), punching a nail...
Kids have a way of reducing complex and profound ideas into simple, effective, concrete statements.
Like when I was around 4 and asked my older brother why people wear swimsuits. While he stammered and squirmed trying to think of an answer that didn't veer into ideas he didn't want to explain...
My younger son turned 18 a few weeks ago, and we all breathed a sigh of relief.
I remember from a criminology class in college that 17 is the peak age for criminal activity in males.
I wasn't particularly concerned about criminal activity, just general rebelliousness; he has a naturally...
This is a story of two mothers, and the similarities and differences in their lives.
One was a long-time friend of my mom's. One day her 21-year-old son ran out of gas on a California freeway. He obtained some gas in a gas-can and was pouring it into his car when he was struck by an oncoming...
The other evening I opened a door and found an opossum pulling trash out of a plastic trashbag on my outdoor deck. This had happened several times before, so I yelled in annoyance while it ran to the edge and tried to hide. I grabbed a baseball bat and pushed it off the deck, onto the ground (a...
Seven years ago this month, I received my first permit to carry a concealed handgun. I walked into the county courthouse, made my way to the court clerk's office, gave them my name, and signed the small card they handed me.
One month before, I had taken a class covering basic gun safety and...

Gone to tolerance, every one

I grew up in a family where nudity was a fact of everyday life. Family members changed clothes, bathed, and walked between bathrooms and bedrooms with no concern about how much of their bodies were covered, unless non-family guests were present. Bathroom doors could be closed, but locking them...
Imagine driving into a campground, summer camp, or church camp, parking your car (or RV), taking off all your clothes, and staying that way all day - or two, or three, or however many. Not hiding in your RV or tent, but swimming in the pool or lake, soaking in the hot tub, lying in the sun...
Forty years ago today, on a warm Saturday, The Crockett Hotel burned down.
I'm not sure if the cause was ever determined. Fortunately it happened during the day, so no one was hurt or killed.
A recent websearch turned up a historical marker placed at the site in 1980, and I'm glad to know it's...
When nudity is natural...
Cleanliness (of both body and mind) is too.
You see more skin, but even more person within the skin.
No one cares about what celebrity is uncovering their body this week.
You don't worry about your kids going to Victorias Secret or Abercrombie & Fitch.
Swimming is...
Thirty-nine years ago today, as the sun went down, I walked down to the edge of a ranch pond, took my clothes off, and waded into the water, while watching for snakes.
The water was warm, and I couldn't believe how different it felt to not wear a swimsuit. I enjoyed it for a few minutes, then...
This is my first blog, so I'm new to the whole thing. I hope to make at least 1 entry per month, and to make them interesting, at least to those who agree with me, and those who don't. Many entries will be about nudism (one of my great passions), but also about God, science, raising kids, things...
