What’s New in 2026
What’s New in 2026? It’s not as new as it looks… This will be my sixty fourth new year. After some thoughtful consideration, it is becoming apparent to me that the older I get the less new each passing year becomes. It is just more of the same with a different twist. The 2026 model […]
Have you no pride?
What is it about Pride… We all have some… “At least I still have my pride” is what we say when we’ve lost nearly everything else. Or when we fall off our high heels walking across a stage in front of a live audience we might say: the only thing I hurt was my pride. In […]
Sovereignty
Sovereignty I was recently informed by a government official of a sovereign nation, that they are unable to “interfere in the judicial affairs of another sovereign nation”. This was in response to my petition to obtain the release of a person who was being unjustly detained by the second sovereign nation. While I suspect that […]
That’s the way we get along…
That’s the Way We Get Along… When is the last time you got drawn into a controversial social media discussion. Well intentioned posts too often devolve into the use of angry cuss words and demeaning name calling. The result is deeper division, and in some cases the loss of relationships. In today’s hyper-connected world, social […]
Getting along…
When we disagree— I have a good friend from years ago, with whom I occasionally cross pathes with on social media. My background and worldview is more conservative in nearly every way. He is much more progressive and liberal in his world view. With recent political and world events, our relationship has become a little […]
Knowing
Knowing God How Can I Know God? In a world filled with questions about purpose, meaning, and the divine, many seek to know God—to understand His nature, His will, and His love. Yet, the path to truly knowing God is not found in abstract philosophies or fleeting spiritual experiences. It is found in a personal, […]
Living Fearlessly
Living without Fear Have you ever met someone whose default setting seems to be “Drive fast and take chances”? Some people seem to live for the next adrenaline boost. Makes me wonder if they have an adrenaline addiction. I don’t think they live this way because they don’t feel afraid. I suspect rather that it […]
Easter edition…
Easter Edition… It’s almost Easter! As a child I had been taught that Easter was about the resurrection of Christ from the tomb, but in those early years it was mostly about easter eggs and chocolate. Jelly beans were actually my favorite…especially the green ones. The orange and yellow ones were next best, the red […]
Pulling back the Curtain
Pulling back the Curtain… In November of 2024 the world clutched their pearls as the American people elected Donald Trump as president once more, this time with a clear mandate. He won every swing state as well as the popular vote. At the writing of this post he has been in office for about […]
Divided…
The Divided States of America… Who or what is it that is dividing these United States of America? Is it Donald Trump and his MAGA agenda? Is it the radical socialist policies of Democratic party? Perhaps both? Historically there have always been differences between left and right, red and blue, GOP and DNC, however something […]
