Tuesday, Al Douglas’ childhood friend, Ewan, (yet a close friend as Al received an email from him just 2 hours prior), was struck and killed while riding his bicycle. On Monday, a 16-year-old boy drowned while swimming with six friends near North Platte. I’m reminded of the four girls killed in a fiery car wreck... Continue Reading →
Socialism II
Again, in light of the push by some politicians seeking the Presidency to move the USA into a strong commitment to socialism in the coming years and in light of Super Tuesday tomorrow, I thought it wise to do some study and share more thoughts: First, a take on conservatism taken from the Encyclopedia Britannica....

Socialism
Today is the primary election in South Carolina followed by Super Tuesday coming this week. The chatter from all quarters is socialism – some rigorously promoting it and others vehemently opposing socialism with others in between. What should we think?

Humans and Earth
I just heard again how humans are over populating the earth and thus ruining it! We humans are certainly the cause of the decay of earth for we sinned and as a result, all creation has been subjected to God’s curse (Romans 8:19-20). So humans must face up to their doings. At the same time, there is a... Continue Reading →
Fools?
A Christian has been asking a person to join Christians in accepting and following Jesus to which the non-Christian replies: So you believe in a man being swallowed by a fish then 3 days later vomited out to serve God.

Crenshaw’s then somewhat academic term is now at the forefront of national conversations about racial justice, identity politics, and... Continue Reading →
Being and Doing
Said Shakespeare through Hamlet... To be, or not to be--that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune Or to take arms against a sea of troubles And by opposing end them. To die, to sleep-- There was a time that to “be” was as... Continue Reading →
National Park History?
At every visitor center, trail sign, or talk there is the promotion of time – millions of years, lack of mention of God or Noah, and the exaltation of man – of what science says (as if they were there when it all happened). As much as the tours and placards talk millions of years,... Continue Reading →
