Proverbious David Lindner

Let me be real with you. I’ve not wanted to write this post. I’m not the kind of guy that you’d be able to compare to an ant. I’m the other guy in the story. I always have been, and I probably always will be. At least when it comes to my natural bent. I […]

A few months ago – actually years – before we had our first child, we decided we needed a new car. We had two cars, a ’95 Jeep Cherokee and a ’92 Plymouth Sundance. It was also 2006, so our newest car was 11 years old. And, I was making a 120 mile round trip […]

I am blessed with an amazing heritage from both my parents and their parents. They are all amazing people who have been astounding examples to their families and the effect of their lives will be long-lived. They were not perfect, nor are our families. But, each in their own way, set amazing examples for us […]

Sippy cups are a great thing. I remember the ones we had when I was a kid. They were the Tupperware kind. They had a snap on lid that was pretty hard to get on – so chances were pretty good that you were going to spill the whole cup of juice trying to get […]

There was one day in my freshman year of high school that would be forgotten (or blocked out) as most of them are if I had listened to my sister’s advice. And after I experienced this day, I really wish I had listened. Really, really. If you grew up in a family without a lot […]

The Man. We’ve all been a pawn in his scheme at some point in time. Victims of the endless profiteering and prisoners beneath the fist of iron. Whether it was suffering through the public school system, the ridiculous gen ed. requirements for a Bachelor’s Degree, insurmountable interest on ill-advised debt or slaving away the best […]

Wouldn’t it be awesome to have a prepaid hotel at thousands of locations around the world? I mean, seriously, who wouldn’t want that? And the deal sounds so good. On the surface. Get a free trip to Las Vegas just for listening to our sales pitch. Seems so simple. I have no problem telling someone […]

Chances are pretty good that most of you who read this post won’t know much about horses. That’s good, because I don’t either. However, there are a couple of things I do know. They are powerful, fast, strong and easily spooked. They have been extremely useful throughout history because of their speed and strength, but […]

I hope that by this point in this series you are really starting to develop some separation between the ways of the wicked and the ways of the righteous. I know that I am. It’s getting easier and easier for me to visualize the wicked. Especially in this passage. “They cannot sleep unless they cause […]

We are fans of “The Biggest Loser” in our house. We love the stories and seeing people truly regain their lives. It’s amazing to see someone go from being near death to being healthier than the average American in a short time. There is a short segment they did on the show for a couple […]

Who doesn’t love wearing a Burger King crown? The only problem is, it’s not a real crown. And, when you’re wearing it you’re just a big billboard for Burger King. It would be a lot more fun to wear if it was made of real gold and jewels. Well, probably not more fun. It seems […]

I have had several email addresses in my lifetime. I started way back in the day with hotmail. Then, I got a gmail account. Shortly after that I started messing around with email addresses associated with my own domain name. One of the reasons I will abandon an account is that it gets on junk […]

Humility. It’s not a concept we hear much about these days. It’s certainly not a value that is lauded by present society. Everywhere we turn there is someone getting attention who likes it just a little too much. In fact, I would say there are far too many people who are addicted to attention. The […]

“Do all the good you can. By all the means you can. In all the ways you can. In all the places you can. At all the times you can. To all the people you can. As long as ever you can.” – John Wesley. I don’t know about your town, but around here we […]

I seem to be on a roll when it comes to making admissions into the depths of my soul, so I figured I’d just keep it going today! So, I’ll admit, that if we had the money and the space (and it wouldn’t cost me my wife…), I would build a bomb shelter and fill […]

This whole section of this chapter (Vs. 13-26) is about the blessings we receive from having wisdom. It’s amazing to think that blessings could be received from obtaining something that is free. At least in the sense that you can’t buy it with money. Just take a look at the blessings that have been discussed […]

They’re passionate people aren’t they? I mean, how many people do you know who love something so much they would be willing to chain themselves to it. I really like my Keurig, but not enough to risk my life for it. I can pretty much guarantee, if someone comes after my Keurig with bulldozer I […]

I’m going to be very honest with your to start this edition. There are a couple of things that I’ve really wanted in my life that are proving to be the proverbial indian head penny. They are things that I’ve wanted for quite a while, but every time I start to get close to being […]

I don’t know how many of you are parents, or if you have parents, but I am one and I have some. Do you ever say or do you remember your parents saying, “I’m only doing this because I love you.” Even though what they’re doing doesn’t really feel like love at the time. Maybe […]

Get rich quick! You can have the life of your dreams right now! No need to wait, just do this simple step and you’ll be rich beyond your wildest expectations. Have you ever chased one of those schemes? Ever been a part of a pyramid scheme or thought if you sold enough widgets and gizmos […]
