Regardless of what Simon and Garfunkel sang, I am NOT a rock, and I am NOT an island, nor is anyone else in this world. The only thing that's truth in those lyrics is "A rock feels no pain; and an island never cries." But praise God the Father of our Lord Jesus, we are … Continue reading No Man (or Woman) is an Island

Fitting In
Billy Graham told the story about a man walking who came upon the site of a newly constructed cathedral. The stone mason was busy at a work bench shaping the last piece, the piece that went on the very top of the spire. The man inquired about what the mason was doing. “Well,” he replied, … Continue reading Fitting In
Comorbidity
Comorbidity. It’s a word that sounds… uncomfortable! It’s one of the words with which we have become more familiar in the pandemic, along with ‘social distancing’ and ‘quarantine’ and ‘corona virus.’ Comorbidity, basically, is the term used for preexisting conditions, ones that increase the chance of death in combination with another disease. We have been … Continue reading Comorbidity
What’s Next?
Consider the following: The Democrats and their Deep State and media allies were willing to illegally spy on Donald Trump. The Democrats used false information to charge the president with treason for colluding with Russia. Later they added a phone call they didn't like to enforce their charges. 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

Last Fourth
Remember last Fourth of July? 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. Some of us taught our kids how to safely hold sparklers, set off firecrackers, and shoot “pop … Continue reading Last Fourth
Fallow Ground
From my Worthy Brief daily devotion: Hosea 10:12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you. Revival is that sovereign work of God in which He visits His own people, restoring and releasing them … Continue reading Fallow Ground
Stay Free
Barrack Hussein Obama promised to "fundamentally change America." I wonder if what is going on is what even he had in mind in 'changing' our country. I wonder if he (along with others) created a monster and now it's out of control. They succeeded in disrupting our education system; they crashed the economy; they brought … Continue reading Stay Free
