To Learn or not to Learn…

There’s a ton of social and political chatter about what parts of our nation’s history should be kept, removed, focused on, ignored, and why these positions matter. Personally, I love history (now) – but I haven’t always taken history or its textbooks seriously – for most of my life I just assumed the history IContinue reading “To Learn or not to Learn…”

Remembering Why We Have Independence Day

If there ever was a source document for a holiday, “The Declaration of Independence” is (without a doubt) the source document Independence Day – oddly enough, some of the most critical predispositions of its original purposes are often misquoted, misrepresented, and even ignored even while we continue to celebrate Independence Day.

She is not calculating, aggressive, or motivated by self. My Valentine is the pictures in our home, the places we’ve been, andContinue reading “The Valentine in My Life”

There Is A Divide – Is it you?

We are such a hot mess – we’ve created our own multiple layers of crisis and conflict: Israel vs Palestine Right vs Left Haves and Have Nots East vs West Public School vs Home School Churched vs Unchurched Fake News vs Real News Russia vs Ukraine Conservative vs Liberal Christian vs Non-Christian NATO vs Non-NATOContinue reading “There Is A Divide – Is it you?”

“We Don’t Have to Have Enemies”

To understand and untangle the thousands of years of Israeli – Palestinian conflict, one would have to take a wider view of mankind, religions, and selfish motives. The world is populated by 7.9 billion people of many races, cultures, nations, and religions – the planet has enough land, resources, and learned technology to house, careContinue reading ““We Don’t Have to Have Enemies””
