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
Tale of Two Athletes
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
