This past weekend in Augusta, Georgia, the 2024 JoeFest Toy and Comic Book Convention showcased over 300 vendors of toys, comic books, anime, novelties, pro artists, collectibles, and celebrities!

“I’ve been everywhere, man/I’ve been everywhere, man…” - as sung by Hank Snow. I was overjoyed to hear that one of my high school classmates and his wife recently completed their bucket-list project of visiting all 50 states. (Alas, one of the less-studious members of our class stopped agonizingly short of that milestone, declaring, “You can’t fool me! There are only 49 states, ever since scientists decided Pluto isn’t really a state.”) As I researched the 50-state accomplishment, I discovered t...

View Point. While some keep pointing in one direction, others look forward to their point of correction deceiving their good points to be a sign of perfection falling from the grace of our Father’s protection. Before those untimely and awkward setbacks, they fostered a notion they were on the right track then missing the point from their lack of understanding. Good furtune came down from their own poor planning. Never dreaming the good times would come and go. Leaving them pointlessly running to and fro, some want to control humanities span, b...
