For two plus centuries the USA has operated under the “Rule of Law”. This idea was declared by God about 1440 BC and written by His own “hand” in stone - the Ten Commandments! It was a Rule of Law that every person needed to live in subjection and thankfulness to God and to treat others in... Continue Reading →
I Wanna Cry
The murder of three children and three adults in Nashville this past week is yet another horrible chapter in America's social history. The transgender shooter was being counseled by a pastor of the church and in the shooter's spree, he killed the pastor's daughter. How terrible! Yet the common narrative is that the shooter was...

NE HeartBeat Bill
The Nebraska legislature is currently debating a bill to protect the womb once a heartbeat is detected. Almost daily there have been articles and letters to the editor both pro and con concerning this possible law. On Tuesday, a letter was published arguing against the passage of the law. I found it frightening! Some thoughts: First the... Continue Reading →
Psalm 2
I woke this morning with Psalm 2 on my mind and know this, I haven’t been in Psalm 2 for weeks but at 4:33, there it was! Why do the nations rage, and the people plot a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, Against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying, “Let us break Their bonds in... Continue Reading →
Christian Nationalism
Some of us recently attended a presentation on Christian Nationalism which was informative, but not, in my opinion, a “home run.” I left with a better idea about the mission of some who are post-millennials as to how they propose to bring about a utopian world that will then bring on the second coming of Jesus,...

Women: Be and Do
We are Human Beings – not Human Doings! We BE, thus we DO, and not the other way around – Do, so we Be.

Ugh and Yay
Thoughts from a S. D. friend... Something evil has invaded our nation and our lives – a nation that has lost its collective mind and you cannot justify this insanity: >If a guy pretends to be a woman, we are required to pretend with him. >People who have never owned slaves should pay slavery reparations...

War on Values
II Corinthians 10:3-5, For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, Colossians 2:8, Beware lest anyone cheat you through...

Words Work
Words are powerful, influential, moving and again, very powerful things! Look at that Bible laying on your coffee table. A book of many, many, many words. God uses words! Words matter! Words are powerful! Words work! Romans 10:17, So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Hosea 14:2, Take words with you, and return to the Lord. Say to... Continue Reading →
Resilience
It has been said that people in the United States face two absolutes: death and taxes. This is often trumped with, “No, there is only one absolute: death!” How so? Because, one can refuse or fail to pay taxes and become a number in the prison system and not a taxpayer. It needs to also be... Continue Reading →
