To truly move forward in your Christian discipline it is crucial to constantly weigh your experiences with perspective. What I mean by that is everyone has at one time, or eventually will, experience situations in their life that will be challenging. Ironically it’s overcoming those challenges with a balanced perspective that is part of what…

At the risk of sounding like a heretic, when I talk to people in church I like to use words that one might actually use in conversation on a regular basis outside of church with actual humans. Is it too much to ask when I enter a church building I won’t be bombarded by terms…

I am shocked to say that slavery is still alive and well in America. The culprits, exactly who you would least suspect, the “alleged” animal rights activists. Animal rights activists always entertain me with their lack of consistency. I am not a big animal lover but I also believe they are not to be abused…

Remember when good moral character was at least contrived and manufactured by our celebrities via their P.R. people? If you were an alcoholic for example you had the courtesy to unleash your uncontrollable rage at home where it only affected your kids, but your fans were left to believe in your screen image.

I always find destructive weather interesting in the way people perceive it. Often some Christians decide it is Gods wrath on a nation, or town or trailer park depending…

Liberals cuss…a lot! Cussing to a liberal doesn’t represent crassness or crudeness. How could it? To be crass and crude means one is kowtowing to a puritanical backward way of seeing culture. Liberals don’t believe in “The” Bible, they believe in “A” bible though. The Constitution represents the progressive’s omnipotent scriptures. Don’t believe me? Progressive…

One of the easiest phrases to roll off the tongue of an American is when speaking of our “rights”. I have the “right” to freedom of speech based on the 1st amendment. I have the “right” to pursue life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. I have the “right” to believe in whatever God I…

All I wanted to do was throw some trash away. I had a paper cup from coffee at the airport and decided when I was done with it the prudent thing to do was throw it away. Why Not? I’ve thrown stuff away all my life and it never was complicated before. Here’s how it…
