Sowing and reaping
Coming back from New York City last night on the train, I was sitting next to a young lady who had just received her Doctorate in child psychology. Wanting to pass the time, we struck up a conversation. It’s a long train ride from New York to Baltimore. Having said that, we steered away from…
Read MoreHope, Faith, Action
A longstanding Daily Jot once wrote expressing in just a few sincere words what many feel on a daily basis. He wrote: “I pray daily concerning the state of our Country and world, I write my congressman and senator encouraging them to stand for the constitution and on Godly principles. I also share the truth…
Read MoreFocus on the good things
This is the time of year that invokes a lot of memories and nostalgia. There are times when we need to put aside the worries of the world, the hustle and bustle, and all the clutter to just take some time to remember. It’s so easy to just go along from day to day, week…
Read MoreNews media and the yoke of bondage
There has been an outcry from the news media about how President Trump has criticized the press. It all started, they say, with Trump’s tweet in 2017 that “The fake news media is not my enemy. It is the enemy of the American people.” The media is still sore about this quote and they bring it up every…
Read MoreWho will stand against the evildoers?
After months of news reports, stacked hearings, controlling the impeachment narrative, suppressing contradictory testimony and doctoring transcripts of witnesses, the best the House Democratic coup-makers could come up with were two charges of impeachment against President Donald Trump. The House Democrats charged Trump with obstruction of Congress and abuse of power. While pressing the narrative…
Read MoreNever too late to do the right thing
The Washington Examiner’s Tim Pearce wrote a December 6 story about “several moderate Democratic House representatives” voicing concerns about going forward with impeaching President Donald Trump because of “political consequences.” There are several things wrong about this story. First, these Democratic congressmen are public officials. They should not be allowed to appear in stories as…
Read MoreOfficials looking for terror “link” in Pensacola shootings, what?
FOX News reports that “the gunman who opened fire Friday morning at the Naval Air Station in Pensacola Florida…has been identified as an aviation student from Saudi Arabia as investigators are looking into whether the attack is terrorism-related.” Ask anybody involved whether the shooting that left three dead and seven others injured possibly could be terror-related.…
Read MoreWriter’s block and motivation to serve
My son and I were having a conversation the other night about writing. He loves to write. Takes after his dad. We were talking about writing on deadline and how to get motivated to write. He said that when he has specific assignments, such as pre-determined page lengths, it is more difficult for him to…
Read MoreDeceiving and being deceived
Many different news reports are characterizing the House Intelligence Committee’s impeachment. Depending on which news organization reporting, the President is either the worst violator of high crimes and misdemeanors in American history, or not. After reading the report, it takes an extraordinary imagination to conclude that this impeachment “inquiry” report is anything more than a…
Read MoreSmelling a rat
In my early days, I was an award-winning investigative journalist. The awards came after having to convince my editors that there was a story when they just couldn’t see it (or as I later learned about their leftist ideals, they didn’t want to see it). But my God-given instincts were far more often than not,…
