What is natural? What does it mean to find nature—and purpose—for our lives? 

How can we  believe without being obnoxious?

Cring takes an often humorous look at the stumbling path of being a human—finding yourself a visitor on a planet filled with all sorts of living creatures.

Big doings. They are exciting, but rarely important. Cring shows us how to tell if something is important enough to spend our lives making it as big as possible. Good news and better news: a weekly podcast where we endeavor to put the pin back in the grenade.  We just take a little time to talk some common sense, laugh a lot, and leave refreshed. After all, humanity isn't really hopeless--we just have a tendency to act helpless. Be sure to also check out Cring's daily blog: Jonathots Daily Blog, a bit of entertaining inspiration with a humorous twist--and a different approach every day. It can be found at https://jonathots.wordpress.com/. Then there's Jonathots, Jr.!  "A Thoughtful Way to Start Your Day" in just a sentence of two. And don't fail to check out Words from Dic(tionary)--Jonathan's mostly humorous take on the definitions of words--in the dictionary order. We invite you to join us on this journey. We've decided to abstain the race--we just want to enjoy the human walk together.
