Tuesday Thoughts

Thoughts of an Optimistic Writer

When polled, 80% of Americans say, “I have a book in me.” Count me in.

This blog is titled Tuesday Thoughts, written to give you a taste of my writing style. I will not spout vitriol or political bias, as there’s plenty of that available on other sites. I’ll keep the entries at about 1,200 words or less, as I want to be respectful of your time.

I’d love to hear your thoughts and comments and, if you like the blog, please recommend it to your friends. The most recent post immediately follows this Welcome.

Remember—when we stop reading, we stop learning.

Thanks for visiting!

Wishing you all the best,

Tim

–Mordecai, speaking to Esther (Esther 4:14; NIV)

 

When this posts, I’ll be away at a writers conference, so I was going to explain why I write; however, that topic sank in importance at such a time as […]

Tuesday Thoughts: Why Roe, and the Way It’s Resolved, Matter

“I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men are created equal.'”

–Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. ( from his “I Have a Dream” speech; August 28, 1963)

The event was hosted by Community Culinary School of Charlotte, and today’s focus will be on the school. It’s a workforce development program that provides training and job placement assistance in the food service industry for its students.

“We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection.”

–President Lincoln’s First Inaugural Address, March 4, 1861
