I’ve seen and heard so many wackadoos talk about the “trans community” as if the rest of the world is supposed to accept them as a “normal” thing. Or they call on each other to stand up for the “trans family.” Because, these days, most people don’t even know what a family is. Sadly, even Christians give the “trans community” almost total impunity. And … The rest of the story…
Imagine you’re a 5 year old girl. No, you’re NOT a trans freak 5 year old girl. An actual 5 year old girl. And imagine a doctor tells your parents you have sickle-cell anemia. Then, by age 11, you get so sick your parents move to another country just so you can get a bone transplant from your brother. And, at 13, doctors decide … The rest of the story…
Many years ago I called on singer-songwriters, particularly those who call themselves Christians, to embrace the sanctity of life from the womb to the tomb. And, sadly, that idea didn’t catch on all that well. Evidently pro life ideas don’t catch on these days. Now, when I say that, don’t misunderstand. I’m not saying there aren’t lots and lots of pro life people in … The rest of the story…
Morning, afternoon, and evening salutations. And hope you have/had a wonderful Germanic god of the sky and war day. Yep, here we are on Tiu’s day again (the aforementioned god of the sky and war dude). It’s around 4 o’clock, Tuesday morning, as I type these words. And I’ve been up since about 2. Bleary-eyed, but thankful. And, on this early Tuesday morning, I … The rest of the story…
The number 8 is said to represent new beginnings. And I could share some interesting Bible stuff to emphasize how that could be true. But YOU might be somebody who isn’t impressed with “Bible stuff,” even when there’s some mighty impressive “coincidences” scattered all through the book. The number 8 DOES represent new beginnings, though. Even to you. For example, every week has 7 … The rest of the story…
If you’re an avid reader or movie watcher, you’ve probably heard of the six basic plots of all stories. An article I read described them and mentioned which ones are the most popular. It said there are “six core trajectories which form the building blocks of complex narratives. These are: Rags to riches (a story that follows a rise in happiness), Tragedy, or riches … The rest of the story…
I was born in Colorado. And my parents moved away, when I was still very young, because my dad was in the Air Force. But also because they preferred other places. When I grew up and visited Colorado, I couldn’t believe they left that place. But maybe it was also because they were drawn to dewdrops at dawn. And, for the most part, Colorado … The rest of the story…
If you’ve never taken a Sunday morning drive, you’ve missed something special. It’s not the dazzling, mind-blowing experience you had when you watched those superhero movies. So, even if I shared a cool driving video, most people would yawn and scroll on past. But there’s something special about a Sunday morning drive. You’ve gotta get out there earlier now than when I was a … The rest of the story…
I think there’s a good chance that I have a tendency to pray for me more than I pray for you. I know, I know. It’s totally selfish. And I don’t feel good about it. But, hey, at least I’m admitting my shortcoming. And that goes on the “good” side of my ledger. Right? And it’s not about “stuff” when I pray for me. … The rest of the story…
Oh yeah. You better believe I’m gettin’ my fair share. And I don’t care how many rich people have to ante up till I get it. Because I’m an American. And I want my piece of the American dream. I earned it. It’s my birthright as an American citizen. And, by golly, I’m gonna get it. So, I’m gonna vote for candidates who’ll make … The rest of the story…
