A six-year-old returned home from church with his family, and his mother asked “What did you learn in Sunday School today?” Immediately came the reply with some amazement “Mom, we're supposed to love our emenies!!” Mom (wisely overlooking the mispronunciation at this learning moment) said “Yes, that's what it says in the Bible.” “But MOM! … Continue reading Love Who??

Repost: Socialism: Easy – and Deadly
With the rise of the Socialist Candidate Bernie Sanders (you can drop "democrat") in popularity, especially among young voters, it compels us to recognize and and decry the idea of Socialism. All people are hearing is "free, free, free" without realizing NOTHING is really free-- SOMEONE has to pay for it, and it WON'T be … Continue reading Repost: Socialism: Easy – and Deadly
The Internet Choice
Everyone with basic knowledge of the Internet – surfing, email, Facebook, etc. – knows there is a lot of trash out there in the Ethernet. But there is also a lot of good: People sharing ideas, teaching, keeping people informed about everything from cooking to fixing cars to building computers, ad infinitum. But the United … Continue reading The Internet Choice
Hidden In Love
In 1890 Fanny Crosby (Frances J.) composed a wonderful hymn called He Hideth My Soul. Based on the account of Moses in Exodus 33 when Moses asked to see God's Glory. 18Then Moses said, “Now show me your glory.” Moses up to this point had been a little grumpy, it seems. He was concerned; this … Continue reading Hidden In Love
The Living Dead
What is it with the fascination with zombies and the undead, i.e. 'dead people walking' or people who “see” dead people and talk to them? Movies, TV shows, books, even commercials depict zombies in “everyday” scenarios! What's up with that? One particularly gruesome 30 seconds is for some table-top-talking-box that turns on the TV for … Continue reading The Living Dead
SOTU
There was an iconic moment right after the State of the Union address last night: Speaker Nancy Pelosi ripping apart what was apparently a copy of the President's speech. It came across as an act of rebellion and disrespect, and IMHO little more than a childish tantrum. It's amazing that Speaker Pelosi is the third … Continue reading SOTU
Restoration
One of my daily devotions - the Worthy Brief -- said this: "....the real issues America faces [cannot be] remedied by politics. Political realities simply reflect the internal moral and cultural climate of a nation and its people. In their drive for power, most politicians are simply responding to or manipulating the current passions of … Continue reading Restoration
Perfect Vision
2020. The end of a decade. Where did the last 9 years go? What do we see in the coming year, or the next 5 or 10 years? Impossible to predict. We can always speculate. Keeping up with politics leads to a lot of guessing, but in such a volatile political atmosphere it's much easier … Continue reading Perfect Vision
‘Tis the Season – for Giving
Since retiring I don't make as much money as I did. Most people don't, obviously. But during December (and sometimes in November) I have had the joy of being able to leave generous tips to the waitress or waiter at various restaurants. Recently I read about a waitress getting a $1,200 tip! Most of us … Continue reading ‘Tis the Season – for Giving
Holding Grudges
The Liberals and Democrats (birds of a feather) got what they wanted. It amounted to nothing less than a kangaroo court. A party-controlled process they called "impeachment" but which is in reality an attempted coup of the American government and an affront on the American People. And it's not over yet. For three years the … Continue reading Holding Grudges
