I loved to play basketball when I was younger. If I was awake, I was playing, and if I wasn’t playing, I was thinking about playing. In high school, in order to play basketball, you were required to run cross country. In cross country there is the one mile, and the two mile race and…
How To Destroy Your Country 101.
Focus only on what divides you and never on what unites. Elevate the fringes and validate them at the expense of the majority. Demonize your opposition and make them less than human. Destroy all confidence in the political selection process. Make all news so biased that it has no value. Make the nuclear family vulgar,…
Eternal Life.
Not many places that will cause me to consider eternity as quickly as a funeral home. Sitting there and looking at a family member or a friend and listening to others talk about the wonderful reunion that's going on in Heaven. But all I can do is wonder if we are talking about the same…
Amazing Time To Be Alive.
I think it’s time to raise the white flag and admit that I’ve been beaten. A sitting president who got more votes than any sitting president ever got was beaten at 3:00 in the morning by an old man who did little more than sit in his basement and mumble about building back better than…
Just thinking….
Science doesn’t lie. People on the other hand, in the name of science, often do. Church is filled with two types of people, folks who are looking for something special, and folks who have found something special. Five or six years ago I read an article about the possibility of everything we think is real,…
It’s time to admit a few things.
I’ve spent far too much time looking for political solutions to spiritual problems, and I'm finished believing that our saviour will come from the Republican Party. I’m finished chasing that ball. Chasing that ball will leave you weary and asking questions you won’t bear to answer properly. Questions like How can you never seem to…
Damn Shame.
The worst thing that could happen to a town full of public servants who never spent a day of their lives serving the public that elected them has happened. A man who passes his time in the woods singing songs to a hand full of people on the internet, sang a song about these Godless…
All Things.
There is a time for all things. A time for American greatness and a time of decline. Ecclesiastes 3. We would do well to consider those words, but we won’t. We won’t give decline a second thought, but it’s here. It’s all around us, but we can’t see. Why? I think part of the answer…
My three choices.
List three books that have had an impact on you. Why? The Holy Bible has provided an anchor in troubled waters. 1984 has provided a glimpse into a world of excessive government control. Atlas Shrugged provides a roadmap to ruin by picking winners and losers through biased regulation.
If I Only
If I only had an answer for every prayer I prayed and every wish I'd ever wished, for things I never got. I might have ended up somewhere far from where I was meant to be I gladly stand where I've been placed for such a time as this.
