Author Clint Morey shares thoughts about stories, storytellers, and stuff he just finds interesting.
Robert Boyle (1627–1691) is remembered as the Father of Modern Chemistry.
Boyle’s scientific legacy was matched by his deep Christian faith. He saw no conflict between faith and reason; in fact, he believed science was a way of glorifying God. He once wrote:
“God would not have made the universe as it is unless He intended us to understand it.”A Free Enquiry into the Vulgarly Received Notion of Nature (1686)
Boyle believed that the order in creation was an invitation for humanity to explore, discover, and worship the Creator.

Centuries ago, Sir Isaac Newton, one of history’s greatest scientists, looked at the cosmos and saw more than just stars and planets—he saw purpose.
For Newton, science didn’t contradict faith—it confirmed it.

Life on a firebase was interesting.
Sometimes we had really nice views of the beautiful countryside of Vietnam.
And we knew we were reasonably safe because we had concertina wire around our entire hill and soldiers from the infantry pulling guard duty for us.
So we didn’t really think that much about sappers and mortar attacks.
When we arrived on a new firebase, it seldom took us long to develop a simple routine for our daily lives.
We kept our fire direction control center neat and ready to go into operation at a moments notice. That was our first job.

Webster defines the word “covet” as “to desire (what belongs to another) inordinately or culpably” if it’s used as a transitive verb. When the word is used as an intransitive verb the definition is “to feel inordinate desire for what belongs to another.”
I have to admit I don’t actually know the difference between a transitive verb and an intransitive verb, but I do understand the definition of the word covet.
Which brings us to our “tip” for this week.

In our society today we have been taught to take care of Number One.
Number One being … well, ourselves.
No one should be allowed to say someone else is better than me … especially if they are better than me, because that would make me feel bad.
No one should be allowed to say that I’m not good enough just because … I’m not good enough. That would also make me feel bad.
No one should be allowed to stop following me on social media because … that really makes me feel bad.
Why?
Because I am Number One.

Tips from God.
How to live life well.
A user’s guide for those of us in the trenches of life.
The goal of this Monday podcast is to share a tip with you on how to live life well.
These tips aren’t from the latest media guru or megastar on social media. These tips are from Someone who is an actual expert on how to do this life thing the right way — God.
The key for each of us is to try to apply this tip every day for the next week as we seek to make it a habit in our lives.
Every year I try to attend the Consumer Electronics Show and see what new products and services are coming our way. Some of those innovations make it into the stories that I write and some of them I share through this newsletter.
This year there were “only” about 110,000 people who attended the show — they usually get a whole lot more — but there were a lot of things to see.
Rather than just list a bunch of stuff, I’d like to share with you a couple of the items that impressed me.

I want to get something straight.
I can swim.
Now I’m not a competitive swimmer by any means, but I’m also not a dog paddler.
If I jump in a pool I can usually manage to work my way across the length of the pool to the safety of the side.
I really do know how to swim … but I have had a couple of close calls while swimming.
Finally.
After two months of Basic Training, a brief stint on Temporary Duty, two months of Fire Direction Control School, a month of leave, and a few extra days at Fort Lewis retaking all my shots …
Finally I arrived by plane at Cam Ranh Bay, Vietnam.
I hope you had a good Thanksgiving.
My Thanksgiving was excellent!
We had family and friends coming over for dinner, so my wife began her cooking routine very early in the morning.
Being the good husband that I am, I did not leave her to labor alone for hours mixing and baking.
I stepped right in to help.

TRANSCRIPT
Thank you, Mark. And thank you for dropping by to listen.
Yes, I know Father’s Day was a couple of weeks ago — June 19th to be exact.
And no, I didn’t forget.
And no, I’m not late.
Well, maybe just a little bit late.
But I’d like to talk to those of you who have fathers.
I imagine that includes most of you.
Was your father good, okay, or bad?
You may have had an excellent father. Or you may have had a father who was just okay. Or you may have had a father who was … let’s just say, not so good.
Perhaps you don’t even know who your real father was.
Whatever the situation with your earthly father, I have some very good news for you.
I’d like to begin that good news with something Jesus said when he taught his followers how to pray. He gave them a sample prayer. We’ve come to call it the Lord’s Prayer.
You may have memorized it.
Notice how Jesus begins that prayer.
“Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be your name.”Matthew 6:9 (ESV)
Jesus tells us to pray to “our Father.”
Think about that.
God, the Creator of the Universe, is our Father.
And you know what?
God our Father actually loves us.
Which is amazing because the Bible teaches that God knows absolutely everything about us — what we’ve done, what we’ve said, even what we’ve thought.
I don’t know about you, but I’ve done, and said, and thought a few things that I would just as soon no one ever knew.
And yet God knows every one of those things in my life … and in your life … and still He loves us.
“God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”Romans 5:8 (ESV)
He loves us so much that He sent His son, Jesus, to pay the penalty for our sins — all those things we’ve done and said and thought that weren’t all that good.
Jesus paid the price for our sins so that we could live forever with God because Our Father loves us.
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”John 3:16 (ESV)
God is our Father in Heaven and He wants … listen carefully … He wants you to be part of His family.
“But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.”John 1:12 (ESV)
Did you get that? Your Heavenly Father wants you to be His child.
“See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are.”1 John 3:1 (ESV)
Grab hold of that truth.
Don’t let it go.
God … your Heavenly Father … loves you and wants you to be part of His family.
Celebrate Father’s Day Today
So, whether you forgot Father’s Day a couple of weeks ago, or had a great time honoring your earthly father, I would encourage you to set aside today to honor your Heavenly Father.
Thank Him for loving you and providing you the way to spend eternity with Him.
You have a great Heavenly Father.

DON'T PLAY WITH THINGS THAT GO BOOM
Episode 1: Baby Boomers Wanted
There was this war on the other side of the planet and the country needed soldiers, lots and lots of soldiers.
The government leaders looked around and there we were -- the Baby Boomers.
Read the Transcript on Substack
I’ve got a question for you.
Where is Zimbabwe?
I’m serious.
If I were to hand you a blank outline map of the world, would you be able to point to the country of Zimbabwe?
Pointing in the general direction of a continent is not the correct answer.
If you’re like me, you might know that Zimbabwe is in Africa, but if you’re like me you couldn’t point to exactly where in Africa it is located.
Here’s a description of the location from Britannica:
Zimbabwe “… shares a 125-mile (200-kilometre) border on the south with the Republic of South Africa and is bounded on the southwest and west by Botswana, on the north by Zambia, and on the northeast and east by Mozambique.”1
Does that help or do you have difficulty knowing where those other countries are located?
For me, I knew where South Africa was and had a good idea where Mozambique was, but I had no idea where Botswana or Zambia were located.
I hope your geographical knowledge is better than mine but this episode of the Big Sky Writer Newsletter is not about geography.
It’s about the economy.
Why don’t you know more about Zimbabwe?
Most of us are probably aware that our country is going through some difficult economic times and the immediate future doesn’t look promising.
Okay, what is coming to our economy looks terrible.
And, trust me on this, it’s not Putin’s fault.
We have destroyed ourselves.
You would think that with inflation already here and threatening to get worse, America’s news organizations would cover how other countries have handled similar challenges … in the present and in the past.
Perhaps we could learn what works and what doesn’t.
But how often do you hear about what happened in Germany in the 1930’s or what is happening in Zimbabwe or Venezuela in the present?
I’m guessing not very often.
The Zimbabwean Dollar
So it’s time for a very short history lesson on the Zimbabwean dollar.2
The first Zimbabwean dollar (ZWD) was introduced in 1980 and was worth a little more than the US dollar … $1.47 to be exact.
But Zimbabwe had a number of social, political, and economic problems — does that sound like any country you know today? — and Zimbabwean dollar (ZWD) began to lose purchasing power.
The government of Zimbabwe dealt with the problem by printing more Zimbabwean dollars.
Does that sound like any country you know today?
What happened after that?
In Zimbabwe in 1983, one US dollar would get you one ZWD.
But by 2006, one US dollar would get you 500,000 ZWDs.
That’s called inflation.
Time for a change
Things got so bad, they decided to scrap their ZWD and come up with a new currency, the ZWN.
In 2006, people could exchange 1,000 ZWDs and get 1 ZWN.
In August of 2006, one US dollar would get you 650 ZWNs. Not as good as the original ZWD but it was respectable.
However, only two years later one US dollar would get you 1,000,000,000 ZWNs.
In other words, it was worthless.
NOTE: The 100 Trillion Dollar (ZWN) note has no purchasing value but collectors like it and it will cost you a couple of hundred dollars if you purchase it on Amazon.
Time for more changes
So the government went back to work, scrapped the ZWN and replaced it with a new currency — the ZWR.
If you had 10 billion ZWNs lying around the house, you could exchange them for one ZWR.
But the new c
It's tough being filthy, stinking rich, but I guess I'll just have to learn how to do it well.

How do you solve a problem in today’s world?
It’s easy.
Throw money at it.
I’m serious. It doesn’t matter what the problem is. It doesn’t matter if it’s a big problem or a little problem. If it’s a problem, the solution is money. Preferably trillions of dollars.
And don’t worry if you don’t actually have trillions of dollars lying around in your bank account. All you have to do is print new money.
Then throw the money at the problem and the problem is solved.
