Ten Perplexing Questions

If tomatoes are a fruit, is ketchup considered a smoothie?

Which orange came first – the fruit or the color?

If you told someone to “be a leader and not a follower,” wouldn’t they become a follower by following your advice?

What would happen if Pinocchio said, “My nose will grow now”?

Why isn’t there mouse-flavored cat food?

If a word is misspelled in the dictionary, will we ever know it?

Why do noses run but feet smell?

If revenge is a dish that’s best served cold and revenge is sweet, then is revenge ice cream?

In the word scent, which letter is silent? S or C?

If a cyclops were to close its eye, is it winking or blinking?

My father always resolved never to make New Year’s resolutions. Admirable indeed, although few possess his fortitude! What are your goals for 2023? I remember when I first started writing articles and books for publication. Rejections abounded, and this was at a time of plentiful magazines and regional newspapers publishing unknown authors. Winning a contract from a traditional book publisher has …

The constant barrage of wretched news media fills in the moments of silence and crowds out the goodness of God that should be readily apparent in our everyday lives. My attempt in this article is to focus only on our industry, our agency, and a couple of other good things we have going. …

At the time, Newton was parish priest of the Anglican church in Olney, Buckinghamshire, England. (If you …
