Bruce's Thoughts: Is That It?
http://brucerevel.blogspot.com/2007/11/is-that-it.html
Opinions and ruminations about anything that comes to mind. Saturday, November 3, 2007. Could there be a less fulfilling World Series than the one just concluded by Boston and Colorado? There have been Delmarva Shorebirds-Hickory Crawdads series with more excitement. [These are Single A minor league affiliates of the Baltimore Orioles and Pittsburg Pirates respectively.]. Is it the fact that I’m getting older or has baseball- all professional sports for that matter—lost its magic? By the time the champio...

Bruce's Thoughts: March 2008

Opinions and ruminations about anything that comes to mind. Thursday, March 6, 2008. 8221; when the Texas army defeated that same Mexican army six weeks later at the battle of San Jacinto. Why would this matter to someone from Sussex County, Delaware? The answer is simple: the power of television and movies to influence an impressionable child. Something happened to me in that experience. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. A Woman's Point of View. The Shores of Delmarva.

Bruce's Thoughts: November 2007
http://brucerevel.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Opinions and ruminations about anything that comes to mind. Saturday, November 24, 2007. Recently, my wife and I were having dinner in a restaurant that is near the campus of Salisbury University. It was an early Saturday evening so, not surprisingly, the crowded restaurant had many patrons in their 20’s. As a Christian, I believe that words have great power to either help or harm. Words can inspire or leave scars that last a lifetime. I think profanity is a careless use of offensive words that h...Perha...

Bruce's Thoughts: CONFLICT OF INTEREST??
http://brucerevel.blogspot.com/2008/01/conflict-of-interest.html
Opinions and ruminations about anything that comes to mind. Monday, January 21, 2008. To those faithful few regular visitors to this blog: my apologies for having not posted anything recently. Thanks for still checking in.]. As a minister of the Gospel however, I have always been careful to separate the message of Jesus from politics, unlike too may other well-intentioned Christians. There is endless analysis of the various candidates, who is the leader for the nomination, what the others are doing to tr...

Bruce's Thoughts: August 2007

Opinions and ruminations about anything that comes to mind. Wednesday, August 22, 2007. Michael Vick and a Wake-Up Call about Dog Fighting. I must admit the existence of this extensive dog fighting subculture came as a complete surprise to me. I cannot imagine that anyone of any age, social class, income, or other demographic would find the spectacle of one dog killing another dog to be fun. Yet apparently dog fighting is the modern equivalent of gladiators in many metropolitan areas, especially ...The o...

Bruce's Thoughts: July 2007
http://brucerevel.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html
Opinions and ruminations about anything that comes to mind. Wednesday, July 4, 2007. The Miracle of Our Freedom. On the Fourth of July it is usual for people to wax eloquently about freedom. We symbolically break out powdered wigs, quill pens, and flintlock muskets to celebrate another observance of that radical revolutionary defiance of the most powerful nation in the world at the time, Great Britain.

Opinions and ruminations about anything that comes to mind. Tuesday, June 24, 2008. THINKING ABOUT TIM RUSSERT…AND ME. However, this piece will not further extol him nor elevate him to saintly status as many of the media commentaries have done. Upon learning of his death, I flippantly said “That’s the way I want to go! I wasn’t really ready then, or now. However, there are other areas of life in which I am not at all prepared. Another practical financial matter is my will. I have a will in my financi...

Opinions and ruminations about anything that comes to mind. Sunday, June 24, 2007. 10 Things I Want to Do Before I Go to Heaven. Sometimes we can get so caught up in the hectic day-to-day flurry of activity that we can lose sight of some important things of this life. Few are guiltier of this than me. Reconnect with a Long Lost Friend. I am going to find his address and reach out to him. I want to see what he’s doing, meet his kids and grandkids; I want him to meet mine. I want to sit aroun...I am thinki...

Opinions and ruminations about anything that comes to mind. Sunday, September 30, 2007. Stunned you try again—same result, no pea! No matter how many times you try it, the guy’s hand is always quicker than your eyes. Governor O’Malley has called for a special session of the legislature to enact this latest round of shell manipulation. It’s great timing for such action. Most of us will pay no attention to what’s going on in Annapolis. We’ll be too busy getting ready for...Wednesday, September 12, 2007.

Opinions and ruminations about anything that comes to mind. Sunday, December 16, 2007. Imagine It Is Your Birthday. Your birthday is special; it’s a time you look forward to celebrating with friends and family. But imagine if this is what your birthday was like. Imagine it is your birthday. At first just your family and a few friends celebrate it with you. It is a quiet celebration. Somewhere along the way, in addition to giving you presents for your birthday, people start giving presents to each other&#...
