To the naysayers claiming there are no good jobs left and that nobody can live on $20 an hour: that's simply not accurate, and this real-world example proves it. Take my son, for instance—he's thriving in a manufacturing role in a Midwestern state with a base pay of just under $20/hour ($19.87, to be exact). …
The Images Before Us
I was scrolling this morning and I started to look at all the images of the people they put in front of us. Faces of politicians, movie stars, CEO's, criminals, world leaders, wierd people, and random atoms oozing out of my screen into my consciousness. I started to think " do I trust these people?" …
“How We Should Live”
I've been mulling over this whole "how should we live" thing! Not the what we should do part, but the how part. The what part is easy. Do what you're best at doing, where your talents lay and what pleases God and your soul (free will). As for the how part. I'd encourage you to …
Strong Jesus
Some random guy from Texas posted a viral depiction of a strong Jesus on FB. One claiming the West has rebranded Jesus, turning him from "the Lion of Judah into a soft, inoffensive, hippie mascot who never confronts sin, never speaks hard truth, and never offends anyone." He said, "If your version of Jesus never …
The Devil’s Game
"Politics is the Devil’s game. One of emotions and values; rebellion, lies - seditious and lustful behaviors; the fun stuff that we minions argue about, post about, complain about so we don't focus on God," says me to a friend. Ah, that's a raw, you think. "It's an Ecclesiastes-level take right there—echoing "vanity of vanities, …
Many Worlds – One Sint Maarten
I grew up in one world and watched it change. Now I'm living part time in another. I've little experience here, this is only our third trip to Sint Maarten. Today, we went to church and once again we were the only snow white people there - I loved it! Something inside me makes me …
You’re Not Paraniod!
Here’s a concise, unapologetic reminder you can share with fellow believers when the world (or lukewarm Christians) calls you “crazy conspiracy nuts” for seeing a spiritual dimension behind the chaos:You are not paranoid. You are not a conspiracy theorist just because you read the headlines through Ephesians 6:12.For two thousand years the Church has taught …
Guardsman Shot
Once again the left has motivated a man to kill. Protests, signs, and online firestorms amplify tensions, and it's on democrats to dial back the venom, but this seems impossible. Some are already blaming Trump for "putting troops in harms way." That's sick, and evil. But let's call this what it really is - how …
Life Advice
This is a hard lesson! It is one we all do too often, especially with the ones we love most. When a loved one needs advice we too often address it head on. For example, your little Johnny is deciding on a career move and you jump right into all the pros and cons, honing …
The Real Resistance – Part 2 on Politics
Because it's Sunday and I didn't go to church, I've spent the morning writing this. ( We're on the road again in a couple of days). And after last night's long post, and my lack of sleep, I decided to get help from Grok. It was very helpful.Inspired by the view that Satan is the …
