Does the word "race" appear in the Bible with the same meaning as we see it used today? I think not. Now, in different translations the word 'race' does appear, but it seems to usually mean the human race, which is translated from "Man", which usually in the OT means "mankind" or all people as … Continue reading Race? What Race?

Outcomes
Did we just have an election, or not? I distinctly remember voting. But whatever happens, we would all do well to remember the main-stream media, Fox, NBC, ABC, CBS, MSNBC, et al, does not have the authority to declare the winner in a presidential election, and never has. There's nothing wrong with making educated guesses … Continue reading Outcomes
What’s Next?
Consider the following: The Democrats and their Deep State and media allies were willing to illegally spy on Donald Trump. The Democrats used false information to charge the president with treason for colluding with Russia. Later they added a phone call they didn't like to enforce their charges. The Democrats perverted and corrupted the most … Continue reading What’s Next?
The Grey-Haired Brigade
(I did not write this, but I wish I had!) They like to refer to us as senior citizens, old fogies, blue hairs, geezers, and in some cases dinosaurs. Some of us are "Baby Boomers" getting ready to retire, others are from the Greatest Generation already retired. We walk a little slower these days and … Continue reading The Grey-Haired Brigade
Elephant Lessons
The story goes about a man who had raised an elephant from birth because it's mother had been killed by poachers. When the baby became old enough, it was released into the wild of a large game preserve. The man eventually left the area, but returned some years later, and wondered if the elephant he … Continue reading Elephant Lessons
Last Fourth
Remember last Fourth of July? No protests, no riots, no COVID-19, and who ever heard of “social distancing?” We all went out with family and friends, watched the fireworks displays, maybe shot off some fireworks of our own. Some of us taught our kids how to safely hold sparklers, set off firecrackers, and shoot “pop … Continue reading Last Fourth
Stay Free
Barrack Hussein Obama promised to "fundamentally change America." I wonder if what is going on is what even he had in mind in 'changing' our country. I wonder if he (along with others) created a monster and now it's out of control. They succeeded in disrupting our education system; they crashed the economy; they brought … Continue reading Stay Free
Saved Together
This past week I have been discouraged. Along with personal discouragements, I'm tired of the constant barrage of "bad news" around the world from the pandemic to the protesters to the riots. Conflicting reports of what happens, who said what, predictions of both good and bad in the economy. It's been getting to me. But … Continue reading Saved Together
Blessings
Sometimes blessings don't always look like a blessing when they come. In fact, they may look like more trouble, more inconvenience, another circumstance to fret and worry over. I read a story about a lady in the mission field. It was in a remote area, and they were dependent on a regularly scheduled supply delivery. … Continue reading Blessings
ONE
In a recent conversation with two pastors, they shared the following: "I really think we as Christians need to start fervently admonishing & teaching away from the term “race.” There is one race...the human race. There are many variations thereof but only one race: the human race. Jesus died for every person in the human … Continue reading ONE
