Raise The Standard!

Have you noticed the prevailing winds? That a deep feeling of dislike of average folks has hatched? I'm not speaking of calling Trump voters "deplorables." That was real, but it was more like a distraction or a slip of a forked tongue. What is happening is more insidious. It's been gradual, subtle, and calculated. Are …

Crazy is Normal for Me.

I'm writing again. I had planned for a respite but the stillness had me thinking it might fatally end my desire to write. When I don't write I read or watch lectures, listen to sermons, or consider the pontifications of my friends and deep thinkers. When I head down this path I usually get lost. …

A Wonderful World

What would it be like if nobody spoke evil of dignities (yes, I meant "dignities"; persons or things worthy of honor and respect); that there are politicians and leaders worthy of respect and honor.That we would conscientiously honor and obey them, and all that are put in authority under them; I mean showing all fidelity, …

I need to tell him this!

I recently overheard someone say to another, "He's gone religious on me," as if they had done a bad thing. I suppose this happens to many of us when we come to faith in Jesus Christ. We lose a few beer drinking friends and are talked about behind our backs. But getting the title "Religious" …

My stay at “The Manor” in Snainton UK

I rarely write publically about my stays while traveling, but this stay needs a loud and enthusiastic review. One of my Romatic fantasies has been to stay in a classic, original, and historic manor house in England. And I never thought it would be possible through Booking.com. Our host Helen lists her Grade 1 three …

Sorrows, When God Brings Them

It is a hard thing to experience sorrow. But the Bible is pretty clear that sorrow affects us all. Among other things, conflicts, depressions, longings, and mornings can bring on sorrows and people are usually at the heart of our sorrows. Hardly has a zucchini caused us true sorrows. I suppose a spoiled crop or …

Are You Of The World

There was a time when I watched television and went to the movies. I enjoyed television cartoons, sitcoms, and even the news. Fantasy, futuristic, cowboy, and manly movies were cool too. This "entertainment" made me think or simply made me happy. I believe I first stopped watching TV after Happy Days, and I can say …

Weapons of Hope

This culture is weaponized to destroy our children, and it is systematically designed to do it. What weapons you ask? Consider or public schools, the media, political groups, liberal corporate entities. They all have their role in promoting abortion, homosexuality, racism, transgenderism, and the weakening of parental control. They promote, foul language, sexual innuendos, injustice, …

It’s Sunday Oct 24th, 2021

Have mercy, have mercy on me cried Bartimaeus the blind man as Jesus walked by. But some tried to keep the blind man quiet. Consequently he yelled even louder. Jesus finally heard him as he drew near and said to the others,"call him here!" Then Jesus asked the man, "what can I do for you?" …

The Metaverse

The real world is nuts. But if you think things are bad in reality what about this "metaverse" every company is talking about? Right now the metaverse is essentially a digital universe where people can buy clothes for the avatar they create. The idea is to create an alternative you to live in a world …
