“the poor will never cease from the land.” Wow, that’s a pretty negative quote. Sounds like somebody who just doesn’t have foresight. Definitely not a visionary. Not like one entrepreneur I’m connected with in a business network. I just saw a post of his where he said his purpose is to “end poverty.” So, he obviously doesn’t believe the poor will never cease from … Read the rest…

OK, here’s my one step plan to a longer, richer life. Ready? Got a pen and paper or computer handy? Here goes. Love God and live longer. Whew! Are you tuckered out? Yeah, I know…it’s a pretty grueling regimen. But you know what they say…no pain, no gain. So, if you truly wanna live a longer life, you’re gonna need to open your heart … Read the rest…

Apparently Mr. Biden left God’s name out of a so-called “proclamation” on America’s national day of Prayer. And Mr. Graham said, “This is a National Day of Prayer.

I remember, learning about Halloween for the first time, as a little kid. And that’s back when we went “trick or treating” for fun and candy. My first few Halloween costumes were your basic innocent kid types. Casper the friendly ghost. Cowboy. Pirate. You get the picture.

I wish he’d learn how stupid he sounds as he takes God’s name in vain in just about every character he plays. But I’m not sure Mr. Duvall understands how that relationship is key. In the movie Mr. Duvall’s character, Felix Bush, … Read the rest…
