The President has called for social distancing guidelines to continue through April 30, and issued a prediction that the next two weeks will be the toughest. People - especially the kids - are getting "cabin fever" as we use to call it, and in some places there is little evidence that anything has changed. People … Continue reading Quarantine

Prognosis
If you have watched the times President Trump has addressed the nation about the COVID-19 virus, one thing he made a point of is protecting our elderly, not just those living at home, but in senior care centers and nursing homes, etc. He has ordered different departments to work with private sector insurance companies, labs, … Continue reading Prognosis
Understanding the Times
David had been banished from the presence of King Saul. Jealousy and suspicion drove Saul to mistrust David, even though Saul had liked David and promoted him to a high rank in his army. After David slew the giant Goliath an evil spirit began to influence Saul and eventually drove him to try to kill … Continue reading Understanding the Times
Sanctuary Promise
The term 'sanctuary' today has some negative connotations to some people, but to others it seems to be good intent. There is one sanctuary – the True Sanctuary – that means the same for whomever enters into it. The Sanctuary of God. Asaph (aw-sawf) was one of the three men King David put in charge … Continue reading Sanctuary Promise
Love Who??
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

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.

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
