I first heard about fetal-maternal microchimerism on a radio program a friend of mine used to produce and host in the Denver Metro area. And to say it’s a fascinating subject is an understatement. I just read about this phenomenon a couple of days ago. And here’s what the writer shared… ~ During a woman’s pregnancy, the cells of the … The rest of the story…

You and I could get to know each other very well, and I would still never know your thoughts. At least any of your unspoken thoughts. So, I can judge you by what I see and hear. But I can never truly judge your heart. And you can’t judge mine. But God can. Because God knows your heart. And He … The rest of the story…
Every year, there are highly effective assassins paid off roughly 500 million, in your tax dollars, to make sure innocent, preborn babies never see the light of day. Yeah, that group is well- organized, well-funded, and well-equipped to kill over 300,000 little children every year. Let’s face it. They get the job done. So, why would anybody wanna rock that … The rest of the story…
That wall is a terrible place. And it gets almost NO attention. Oh sure, there are some who talk about it. But they’re usually called haters. And do-gooders. And technical stuff like that. But the media barely give it any mention. Yeah, you won’t find many (if any) politicians talking about it either. From lowly locals all the way “up” … The rest of the story…
Here we are in the last days of Autumn for 2024. They say history repeats itself. And it occurred to me, this morning, how often that’s so true. 50 years ago I experienced the last days of Autumn just up the road. Right here in the “flatland,” the heart of the heartland. Also known as Kansas. Yeah, I was in … The rest of the story…
Here’s a quick reminder. Back in 2009 I was in the middle of my three years as a music leader for a small Denver area church. The pastor did an excellent job of equipping the saints. And it was a church with a strong, abolitionist, pro life foundation. So, a definite win-win place to worship God. Plus, they led the … The rest of the story…
Elara lived in the star-island village of Millezza (pronounced milletsa, with the accent on the et). I’m sure you never heard of her or her hometown. Because they’re located at the Northwest corner of the Milky Way Galaxy. Of course, I know you’ve heard of the Milky Way Galaxy. After all, anyone who lives on planet Earth knows our entire … The rest of the story…
When it comes to truth, most politicians would rather not. I hope that’s not true, when it comes to YOU. And I hope you don’t leave yourself in a compromised position when it comes to life and truth. Because compromise can sear your soul when it comes to you. That doesn’t make you a special target. Compromise can sear any … The rest of the story…
From the moment you were conceived you took on the human form. Not that body you’re walking around in now. The body that has endured the harsh rays of sun, drops of rain, sheets of ice, and blasts of wind. No, your human form started as one, tiny cell. But here’s something you might not have thought about. Even before … The rest of the story…
Here in America, we still enjoy a certain amount of “free speech.” During the 20th century this country participated in two world wars. And many men and women fought and died to get rid of evil dictators and despicable governments. The ultimate sacrifice for God-given rights. Thomas Jefferson sort of acknowledged where our rights originate when he composed the Declaration … The rest of the story…
There’s a book that says “faith comes by hearing.” But here’s the thing. You gotta be willing to listen. Let me share a short snippet about a guy who was. So, this guy’s name was Saul. He lived about 2000 years ago. And he was zealously dedicated to his Jewish faith. In fact, he was so dedicated that he persecuted … The rest of the story…
If you’ve ever driven through Wichita, Kansas, you might have noticed there are some flat parts. In fact, I don’t know how many times I’ve heard people diss Kansas with comments like, “It’s so flat.” But I just smile to myself as I remember struggling to ride my Western Flyer up those East Kansas hills on my way to the … The rest of the story…
This dreadful message is dark. Too dark for the front page news and prime time. So, you won’t see or hear it unless you tune into channels where people share the truth even when it’s unpopular. I’ve shared that kind of truth for decades. And I haven’t enjoyed even one day of it. Not even before I lost most of … The rest of the story…
They build them tall. Because they don’t want you to see what’s going on behind there. And they don’t want anyone who cares about what’s going behind there to be able to make eye contact or interfere. And there are guards to keep caring people out so parents can kill their kids in peace. I wrote a song about those … The rest of the story…
I’ve never enjoyed writing pro life songs. And I wish none existed. OK, I said it. And I’m not taking it back. But I’ll explain why I’m so anti pro life songs. Because I’d much rather write songs about all the glorious things of God’s creation. You know; love, flowers, whimsy, and everything else that delights your senses and sensibilities. … The rest of the story…
Back in 2013 (hard to believe that’s already ten years ago) I challenged myself to write rhymes for kids 100 days in a row. And I met that challenge. I received a lot of positive feedback for most of the rhymes. And I didn’t get any negative feedback. Which is good. Because there would have been serious repercussions. Just kidding … The rest of the story…
Here’s some encouragement for the day. But it’s only for people who aren’t fools. People who understand the difference between delusion and reality. And if that direct and simple statement triggers a negative reaction in your head, you might be in the fools camp. But even people with wisdom can use some encouragement for the day. Because this planet is … The rest of the story…
OK, it’s in the Bible. So I believe it. John said, “God is love.” And he (and other apostles, too) also wrote of the many ways God loves us humans. Plus, all you gotta do, to know that’s true, is take a good look at what Jesus did for us. Yeah, that’s true love. So, why do I have to … The rest of the story…
In a way, you could say that life requires the incrementalism approach. Because you’re not born knowing everything you’ll know or how to do everything you’ll do. And you don’t learn calculus and geometry in first grade. And you don’t start on black diamond ski trails. So, life is a series of steps. Each one leading to the next. And … The rest of the story…
Ok, all seriousness aside. My brain thinks in rhymes. Not 24 hours a day. But certainly every day. My wife will tell you about (or rather ask you to save her from) my daily rhymes. She’s been with me over 30 years. And somehow she’s managed to stay reasonably sane. Despite all my iambic pentameter parameter But my daily rhymes … The rest of the story…
