Abundance of Possessions

In the 21st century we have more “things” living in America than most of the world's population ever dreamed of. The poorest of our poor have more than many people, save perhaps our homeless. It's simply astounding that in the richest countries of the world there are still homeless people wandering and living on our … Continue reading Abundance of Possessions

Actions

A man was traveling one winter night when he came upon a car that had pulled over onto the snowy shoulder and became "stuck on top of the ground." There was just enough frozen slush, ice, and snow the car was unable to move; the tires would just spin. The man was going through a … Continue reading Actions

Put A Lid On It

It's time to put a lid on it. It's time to nip it in the bud. It's time to reign it in. It's time to ... well, you get my drift. "It" to which I am referring is the constant beleaguering of the truth by the left, liberals, and Democrats. But more specifically, House Speaker … Continue reading Put A Lid On It

Standing on the Bank

In July 1993 I stood in Riverview Park in Hannibal, MO and looked to the east. As far as I could see was water; the Mississippi River was about 12 miles wide at that time. Standing next to me was an 80-year-old man; we stood there in silence for what seemed like several minutes. He … Continue reading Standing on the Bank

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

These words that are used a lot these days, but have fast became misnomers: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and let's not forget “tolerance.” They have become the battle-cry of left-leaning people and organizations throughout America, and in fact are used to belittle anyone who doesn't agree with their meaning of the words. Those three words … Continue reading Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Confide

Psalms 25:14 says "The Lord confides in those who fear Him; He makes his covenant known to them." What do you do when you confide in someone? You take them into your 'confidence'-- you trust them with what you are about to tell them -- and enable a deep level of trust between you and … Continue reading Confide
