Trust. One thing that is earned by responsible, persistent, actions as promised to another. And it’s something very easily damaged or lost. Kind of like a reputation. They often go hand-in-hand, and are nearly synonymous. However, reputation can mean trustworthy, but it can mean NOT trustworthy. Trust is valuable, carrying a weight born out of … Continue reading Trust
Vaccine Mandates
Let me say I am not an "anti-vaxxer." I have had the Moderna shots, and frankly I haven't felt right since. I received my second one the end of March. After both shots I experienced extreme fatigue for a couple of days. Now, I have the "pin pricks" in my arms and legs, persistent and … Continue reading Vaccine Mandates
Branded
We have all been branded with a “scarlet letter” because of how we look, think, do, and believe. Because I’m a parent, I’m a terrorist. Because I’m white, I’m racist. Because I’m male, I’m sexist. Because I’m old, I’m prejudiced. Because I’m straight, I’m homophobic. Because I believe in Right and Wrong, I’m intolerant. Because … Continue reading Branded
The Wind and The Flag
Across the street I see a flag pole with an American flag waving in the wind. The wind causes the flag to wave and ripple, and the pole moves and sways as the flag bears the onslaught of the wind, changing directions, blowing this way and that, gusting to make the flag whip and flutter. … Continue reading The Wind and The Flag
Ask The Blind Man
3One day Peter and John were going up to the temple at the time of prayer—at three in the afternoon. 2Now a man who was lame from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those going into the temple courts. 3When he saw … Continue reading Ask The Blind Man
The New “Woke” Salvation Army
Next time you walk by the red bucket attended by a bell ringer, think about this: The Salvation Army now says "...white Christians owe ‘a sincere apology’ to blacks for being ‘antagonistic…to black people or the culture, values and interests of the black community." Folks, there is something terribly amiss with the S.A. leadership. How … Continue reading The New “Woke” Salvation Army
The Lord Is…
Make a joyful shout to the Lord, all you lands! 2 Serve the Lord with gladness; Come before His presence with singing. 3 Know that the Lord, He is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. 4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, … Continue reading The Lord Is…
Pleasing God
God is the Most High God. YHVH, the Ancient of Days. Too many times we want Him to please us, and we take it for granted that He is pleased with us. With my great power and outstretched arm I made the earth and its people and the animals that are on it, and I … Continue reading Pleasing God
The Walking Dead, part 2
You might call them "spiritual zombies." (Although I, nor anyone I know, have never seen a 'zombie' like on tv.) John wrote in the 3rd chapter of his epistle: 18 Whoever believes in him (that is, Jesus) is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name … Continue reading The Walking Dead, part 2
The Walking Dead
No, not the tv show. (What’s up with the infatuation with zombies??) The other walking dead. Actually they’re not really “dead” as the world sees dead. Paul wrote to the church in Rome: 3Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4We were therefore … Continue reading The Walking Dead
