The Perfect Christian
You’ve seen them, we all have. They’ve arrived. They’ve reached a level in Christianity we can only aspire some day to reach. They’re the ones who send out a Christmas card, or Facebook post of the picture of their beautiful family and a message of how everyone is doing. The picture is flawless, the message […]
The People’s Champion
I still keep the picture in my portfolio. It was a warm summer night. We were at Safeco Field, downtown Seattle. My youngest grinning from ear to ear, with a noticable two front teeth missing, holding up a sign, “We love you Rock!” Against the conventional wisdom of my wife, I got her hooked […]
Facebook, or Fake Book?
Mark Zuckerberg created Facemash 2003 as a Junior at Harvard university which was revised to what now is known as Facebook. What it is known today and it is by far the largest social media website in the world. But it’s beginning wasn’t so pure. “What is obvious is that Zuckerberg had twin gifts for […]
The War on Patriotism
Just this morning I read an article of a woman and her young son riding their bikes though a suburban neighborhood. As they rode passed a house displaying a small American flag in a front yard, the little boy stops, gets off his bike and runs to the flag. Next, he takes the flag, tears […]
Chasing Happiness, Finding Discontentment
One would think at my age that I would get it, but my behavior belies me. I’m still pursuing things that I think would make me happy and content. My only somewhat mitigated comfort is knowing that I’m not alone in this never ending struggle. As I sit here ruminating about what life would be […]
Made in China
We see it on just about everything. I challenge you to go about your house and purposely look to see where your stuff is made. If I start in the garage, here’s what I find; bicycles-China, tire pump-China, basketball-China, and water toys for the kids-China. This is not an exhausted list by any means. […]
Green turned out not to be such a good deal.
As I stared out of my office window on February 2nd 2021 I was bewildered. My neighbors were pulling their kids on sleds through the streets with their Jeeps. They were just trying to make the best of a bad situation We had electricity but no water. It was the winter storm of the century. […]
Prelude to The Beast
What does the response to COVID-19 tell us about the end times? Could it be an omen of sort? I would submit to you that the answer is yes. Let me explain. In Rev 13:16-17 we read, “It also forced all the people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive on […]
Have you been propagandized?
I wrote this several months ago but thought it to be relevant today with all the crap passing for news. Mark Twain once wrote, “whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it’s time to pause and reflect.” It’s like when your Mom asked you after you got into trouble when you […]
The Silence of the Lambs
Yes, these was a movie about a deranged physiatrist named Hannibal Lector, but I’m not referring to the movie. There’s the account of Jesus Willingly offering himself up to be crucified found in Isaiah 53. I’m not talking about that. What I’m referring to is the attempt of neo-marxist movement to try and overthrow our […]
