COVID comes Home

As of this writing several of my family members have COVID-19. Some are older, in the high-risk category, some are younger. It's a scary thing to contract the disease that has created such chaos and uncertainty around the world. Millions of people have or have had it. But we believe in God who remains the … Continue reading COVID comes Home

Press On

There is certainly more to Phil Robertson, founder of Duck Commander and one of the central figures on Duck Dynasty on A&E, than meets the eye. Beneath that "river-rat" (description of himself) persona is a man who has two degrees, one being a Masters in Education. The story of his life is inspiring, and he … Continue reading Press On

The Democrats perverted and corrupted the most … Continue reading What’s Next?

The Grey-Haired Brigade

(I did not write this, but I wish I had!) They like to refer to us as senior citizens, old fogies, blue hairs, geezers, and in some cases dinosaurs. Some of us are "Baby Boomers" getting ready to retire, others are from the Greatest Generation already retired. We walk a little slower these days and … Continue reading The Grey-Haired Brigade

No protests, no riots, no COVID-19, and who ever heard of “social distancing?” We all went out with family and friends, watched the fireworks displays, maybe shot off some fireworks of our own.
