Nutty is Necessary

If today is like every other day I will think Jesus is coming, and coming soon! After I turn on the news or listen to one of the many conspiracy theories my friends will send me, I will know for sure! It is coming to that point, "Yep, today is the day," I'll say! But …

Greed as a Strategy

Flattering speech is a pretext for greed and greed is evil. Even a Bernie Sanders fan understands this biblical principle. "Greed is the Religion of the billionaire class," says The Angry One! Yet how Sanders knows this is a mystery to most of us. He never developed skills that would allow him to earn a …

The Crazy Mountains and Beyond

Last Wednesday, July 1st, we hit the road again and this time we were blessed to have nearly a week away without internet or phone service. Our journey first took us from our home in Polebridge, Montana to West Glacier where we had a parting rendezvous with friends. A group of us were greatly surprised …

Churned Butter

I'm sitting here looking out my window, listening the Willie's Roadhouse and thinking again.  Warmed by the sun and feel good country songs, I'm sipping my tea and thinking pleasant thoughts. You see my life has been fully lived and the abundance of blessings I have received is humbling. At present it is difficult to …

Gretchen Whitmer – God Does Not Care About You!

Well, not exactly! I don't know Governor Whitmer but is she a bad person? Is her heart desperately wicked, and her policies wickedly political? Let's explore! Her state has become the center of the Covid crisis not because it ranks first, it actually ranks fifth in total covid cases. But the firestorm in Michigan ranks …

The Big Scare is Over for me!

What a joy it has been for us this past week. At the height of the craziness we had friends from Las Vegas come visit us. Yes, we broke all the social distancing rules! And we broke the Govenors lockdown rules, before he reluctantly lifted them. You see, my friend Jim has prostate cancer and …

“The Lord Our God Will Destroy Them.”

Oh Bob! I can hear the moans even before I write these words. "Aren't you being judgmental?" "God does not destroy people, people destroy people, God is good!" Well I say, turn with me to Psalm 94 and whence learn. This Psalm is both a prayer and a complaint. Unjust rulers, cruel oppressors, troublesome people …

It Could Be a Sci-Fi Movie or….

What if it were possible that China, or for that matter any nation with evil people in charge, could immunize their own population or at least its leaders in advance of spreading a deadly virus worldwide? World domination made possible by a military made from viral bugs? Is this what China was working towards? Maybe …

Refreshing Tribulations

It's Easter evening, and even for me the joy I had found in the dawn is fading. The media have returned to their lectern and the assault on President Trump has begun afresh. It was an easy detour for them but a difficult one for me. I know they hate Christianity even more than this …

This Is Not a Martian Invasion

I was not alive in 1938 when Orson Welles made his radio bulletin describing a "huge, flaming object" crashing onto a farmers field outside Grovers Mill, New Jersey. Many listeners believed the Martian invasion was true. It was enough to scare the devil out of many folks, and a lot of good folks were taken …
