During this time of year we often (and should) turn our thoughts to helping and giving. Christmas in America stands for different things to different people, however. In today's society, some are taught that receiving is more important than giving, and indeed some feel they are entitled to do and say whatever they want. So, … Continue reading Tale of Two Athletes

Cause and Effect
The following was sent to me via email by a brother; it's from John Hagee Ministries; it's called "Small Beginnings": We love to celebrate big things! We bestow huge awards on people who perform better than everyone else. Behind every person who reaps the recognition, though, someone else has sown the little things. In 1970, … Continue reading Cause and Effect
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

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
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
Google and Amazon and Skynet – Oh, My!
The article is here. You can listen to the podcast on American Family Radio. The head line is "Google Creating a 'god-like' Artificial Intelligence." Below is an excerpt: "They're trying to create a control grid that captures all the information – video, audio – wherever you're at, streams it back to a centralized data repository, … Continue reading Google and Amazon and Skynet – Oh, My!
It Just Doesn’t Add Up
Now the Supreme Court is trying to decide if or when (or how or can or could or something) a man can become a woman and vice versa. Every legal document going forth from whatever they decide that includes the word “sex” or “gender” means something not at all related to biological fact (gender at … Continue reading It Just Doesn’t Add Up
Gossip Columns and Tabloids
First they said the "whistleblower" that had "information" about President Trumps phone conversation with the president of Ukraine was not actually present during the call, but rather he was told by another person what transpired in the call. So, President Trump declassified the transcript-- which is never verbatim -- so the whole world could see … Continue reading Gossip Columns and Tabloids
