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

Tuesday Thoughts: Buyer’s Remorse: An Allegory

“I hope you find what you’re looking for.”

There once was an American citizen who owned a very ordinary and predictable automobile. It got him (or her, if you’d rather) where he needed to go–at least most of the time–but had none of the extras that would get the owner excited about the ride. He decided it was time for a change, so he sent his buyer’s […]

Tuesday Thoughts: Dare We Dream? (Part Two)

“What we need in the United States…is love and wisdom, and compassion toward one another, and a feeling of justice toward those who still suffer within our country, whether they be white or whether they be black.”

–Robert F. Kennedy

In my opinion, being called a racist is as awful as being considered an adulterer or an inveterate liar. Though we should tread carefully with such rhetoric, the “racist” label is thrown […]

Tuesday Thoughts: Dare We Dream? (Part One)

“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. My Lord, I have a dream.”

–Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (August 28, 1963)

I never thought I’d write this post. In fact, last year a good friend asked me when I was going to write about […]

Tuesday Thoughts: Were They Even Thinking?

“Part of the problem is there are people in Washington, D.C. in positions of power to whom the border is just a nuisance, and I think some of them believe that illegal immigration is a moral good. It is not. It undermines legal immigration.”

–Senator John Kennedy (R, Louisiana)

Well, now I know why our government shut down travel and commerce. It wasn’t Covid 19. They needed buses, planes, convention centers, and […]
