Some of us remember learning to type on a typewriter. Not a keyboard but a mechanical typewriter. Yeah, we're old. "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog." That's the sentence we all learned to type; it contains each letter of the alphabet. Typewriters took more effort than today's modern keyboards; it actually took … Continue reading Typewriters and Monkeys

Faith and Fishing
One was a carpenter and one was a professional fisherman named Simon. They had been friends for a while, especially since the carpenter displayed a lot of knowledge and wisdom and regularly taught groups of people. That day, the people were gathering on the shore, and Simon's friend got into his boat and asked him … Continue reading Faith and Fishing
The Past, Part II
50 years, 150 years, 250 years? How many years must pass to allow the actions of people be forgiven and forgotten? And, is there a limitation on forgiveness? Is forgiveness no longer an appropriate response to an apology? Do past actions of a person really prevent them from changing, resulting in remorse and repentance? Our … Continue reading The Past, Part II
Sin’s Payment
The Gillette Company tried to board the PC wagon about "toxic masculinity" and they found it wasn't the best corporate decision they ever made. It seems if they wanted to give more support for women in general they might have just increased their ads toward that demographic instead taking the chance of alienating many of … Continue reading Sin’s Payment
Democrat AND Christian?
I saw a bumper sticker on a car that said "Democrat and Christian." I just about drove off the road. I will take to task any Christian who stands as a Democrat today. I suppose like "RINO" (Republican In Name Only) there could be a "DINO" but what would be the point? To believe that … Continue reading Democrat AND Christian?

What are those who come and stand at our border wanting entrance into America thinking? Do they see a better life, a future of having more than they've ever had before? Are they yearning to become a citizen of the greatest country in world because of freedoms they have not had in their own country? … Continue reading Across the Border

I know a man who dreamed of retiring, buying a houseboat, and spending some years floating up and down the Mississippi River with his wife and occasionally having kids and grandkids and friends and family spend some time with them on their houseboat. It was his idea of a camper, but this one was for … Continue reading Houseboat Dreams
The Liberal Accomplishments
David Thomas Roberts' article in townhall.com "The Left Is Now Reaping What It Has Sown for Years" puts a very good perspective on how this country has been on the road to destruction: "Since the early 1900s, liberals from both parties have incrementally worked to destroy original American culture, morals and values ... How exactly? … Continue reading The Liberal Accomplishments
Pre-Crime
A few years ago there was a movie called “Minority Report” wherein technology had been “connected” to three people with clairvoyant abilities. These three people were able to “see” the future, and could predict when a person was going to commit a murder. I really didn't understand why, but when the entire mechanism was working … Continue reading Pre-Crime
American “Education” Part II
In many (most?) schools across America, our children are being lied to and downright brainwashed. They are being told America is NOT a great country and never really has been. They are being told that "tolerance" means accepting anything anyone wants to promote, and parents are not the ones to turn to when they have … Continue reading American “Education” Part II
