Imagine That....

Hey Guys!

A while back I wrote a few parodies of some songs, including John Lennon's famous song "Imagine". Please feel free to leave comments, words of encouragement, other songs I could do a parody of, etc. Well, without further ado, here it goes:

Imagine no more pie
It's not hard if you try
No cherry of grape
...or apple for the sake (of it)
Imagine no more milkshakes
or chocolate cakes

Imagine no more cobbler
to make it just a blur
and forget that ice cream, too
but its all up to you
Imagine no more sweet treats
And only food like beets

Most just say that I'm a health freak
But I just started this week
I hope you'll give up candy
And join me fine and dandy

Imagine pudding long gone
And cookies now withdrawn
With sugar now all futile
Obesity not brutal
Think of us now all healthy
both the poor and wealthy

Some just say I'm a big health freak
But there's nothing better to seek
Than everyone in good health
Both us all with and without much wealth

Life Lessons Learned From 2021

Image
One of my favorite types of blog posts to do is a "Life Lessons" post at the end of the calendar year, a tradition that started in 2017 and continued in 2018 & 2019 . Ironically though, I never did do one for 2020, a year that had no shortage of life lessons learned. However, 2020 was a different year across the board (to say the least), so that is par for the course. With that in mind, I did want to bring back that tradition with Life Lessons Learned from 2021. Without further ado, here they are... Enjoy the ride: okay, so I may be ripping off a previous blog post that I wrote earlier in the year, so bear with me on this one. In the past, I've heard that mantra that it's not about the destination, but the journey. While that can be easy to write off as a cliché, I've started to understand the significance of that. This past January, as the Green Bay Packers postseason, I remember a beat writer for the Packers tweeting that no matter what the outcome of the

Lessons From Jonah

    18 years ago, VeggieTales made the jump from direct-to-home videos to the big screen, releasing Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie. G iven that Jonah's story ends on a unique, not-so-uplifting note, it was interesting that  VeggieTales chose to make this Bible story into a full-length movie. That said, the movie  does end on a positive note with a musical number about Jonah's story and the lessons we can learn from it. Recently, I read through the Book of Jonah (both with friends at church and on my own) and I wanted to share my takeaways from reading through Jonah. Here we go: God Uses Us in Spite of Ourselves       Last year, I heard a sermon where the overall message was that God will use us in spite of ourselves and our actions. While the sermon itself focused on Samson and his life, Jonah is another good example of God using someone in spite of one's actions. When Jonah was instructed by the Lord to go to Ninevah, he went the exact opposite direction and set sail for Tarsh

26 Reflections

Image
      This past Friday, I celebrated my 26th birthday. While I wish some of the circumstances surrounding it had been different (you know, being in a pandemic), it was a nice day filled with typical Will-things such as walking, good food, good friends, and of course cake. When I turned 25 last year, I wrote a blog post with quarter century reflections. In honor of turning 26 this year, I thought I'd do a blog post with...26 reflections (this time in number form, as opposed to paragraph form). I'm all about being consistent with blog posts. Well, here we go! Speaking of consistency, that truly has been a lesson I've been learning; consistency is key. In all that we do, being consistent is one of the best attributes we can have. It provides a sense of stability to ourselves and for others. You can depend and rely on consistent, faithful people. We all need people like that in our lives, especially right now. Ecclesiastes 3:1 says that "For everything there is a season, a
