I was talking with some friends Sunday – the topic of the new year came up with a variety of cares and concerns typical of a new year – it’s common to evaluate the old and new year – these considerations sometimes come with concerns. A new year can be a little exciting, a littleContinue reading “Happy New Year”

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. For clarity and transparency,Continue reading “Remembering Why We Have Independence Day”

Each year your birthday is an enduring blessing to us. Our daughter is an amazing woman, beautiful, positive, helpful, strong, resilient, and able to dig in a push forward even in the most difficult conditions.

Our pastor gave us a very good, very relevant subtext bullet two weeks ago – “moral modifications are not “gospel transformations.” This resonated with me as churches struggle with clashing cultures, Christian Nationalism, and so called “woke agendas” – the application is simple: A forced, legislated, or socially bullied moral modification compromises any effort toContinue reading “Moral Modification is NOT Gospel Transformation”

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”

Who are the super wealthy? How did they become super wealthy? Do they cause good or harm to our economy? No big surprise, the personal wealth of 5 of the richest people on the planet is growing exponentially. Since 2020, their net worth skyrocketed by 114% for a total of $869 billion, according to aContinue reading “Working As Designed?”

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?”

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””
