How much is your house worth? I've asked myself this question since I built mine. I've had people tell me $1 million dollars, and just last night, one high-end realtor in the valley told me it's maybe worth $5.8 million. Wow, I thought! But let's suppose I think mine might be worth more like $12 …
Unusual Dread
I'm down. Not sad depressed, or unfulfilled. For me to think I need more is silly, so I'll pass on the counseling and the Zoloft. Yet I sit deep in my chair, heavy, breathing slow; almost unable to move. The culprit could be Meaningless, He's no pushover, you know. Not that I don't understand that …
World Of The Mind
It's in there somewhere. Some of us like to talk and discus and to think carefully. I'd like to invite you to think with me. Not watered down, nothings, but pungent things. Vibrant things about God and human behavior. I'll begin in one way and end simplistic. The gospel part will not be interesting to …
Is Feminism the Problem?
In her later years, Queen Elizabeth learned the limits of a secular life. The why's and wherefores of her devotion to God grew as she aged and culminated in orchestrating the superiority of Christ at her own funeral. To Jackie and I, the Queens' final act meant much to our faith. We were in Green …
To Lament or To Be
To "lament" is not a common term these days, so if you are patient, the definition goes somewhat like this. Romeo meets and falls in love with Rosaline, but Rosaline instantly shuns Romeo. Romeo becomes melancholy and laments even knowing her. Romeo expresses his deep sorrow or "lamentations," and the author explains his grief by …
Things are Getting Weird
The scenery is lush. The grounds of this manufactured city are filled with fruit filled plams, a vast variety of flowers, lighted foliage, modern sculptures, and artificial grass. It is all so beautiful and surreal. The unconscious mind is the usual wellhead of my imagination. But the fantasy I'm seeing now is more than a …
The Hand that Humbles
In the Old Testament, people fell back into their sins quite often. They did not learn well. So God sent oppressors or judges to rule over them. These foreigners made the Isrealites' lives miserable, and God saw to it that they understood the lostness of their ways. In one case, for eighteen years, they were …
If the Shepards Sleep
Based on the information available to me and in good faith, I believed the election of Joe Biden was illegitimate and I've said so publically. Today, I still believe shenanigans took place! Should I be indicted too? Shouldn't the administration be more concerned about the policies that have taken down our nations credit rating, increased …
Genuine Love
Thank you all for the kind words, deeds, and prayers for Jackie and he mother. It is finished. Barbara Kletzien is with the Lord. She left us peacefully with her children at her side. I'll not describe the whole sacred affair, but I will tell you one thing I learned of deep importance. After a …
Evil Days Ahead
I've been meaning to write this for quite some time. In fact, it's been on my mind for months. I've been trying to describe in my head and to you "the end of the world as we know it." The complete destruction of society, our political system, and our country. Of course, we all know …
