The American Chronicles: Miles, Mishaps and the Memories that Matter
Some of our best memories of 2025 came from trips that unfolded one imperfect mile at a time. The RV carried us across back roads and into moments that still make us laugh, especially the kind you only appreciate later. Fort Apache was one of those stops that slows you down without asking. Standing there,…
Read MoreA Year to Stand
A happy New Year to you and yours. The calendar turns, but the calling does not. New years bring fresh resolve, fresh mercy, and a sober reminder that time is a gift to be stewarded. We carry lessons from last year without dragging its weight behind us. Gratitude belongs at the front door of January,…
Read MoreStupidocrisy: The Failing Healthcare System
Democrats shut down the government trying to hold America hostage to a failed socialist healthcare system. Obamacare was never about fixing healthcare, it was about expanding government control. As a result, premiums rose, deductibles skyrocketed, and doctors were less accessible. Millions of Americans were told they were “covered,” yet discovered their deductibles were so high…
Read MoreTax Dollars, Terror Ties, and the Machine That Protects Them
The GAO recently dropped a report showing how easily Obamacare’s insurance tax credits can be gamed. They created fake people, fake documents, fake income, and the system waved them right through. Billions in taxpayer subsidies are flowing to identities that don’t exist, while the government shrugs and keeps writing checks. This is what happens when…
Read MoreFrom the Pit to the Promise
Miketz (Genesis 41:1–44:7) and Vayigash (Genesis 44:18–47:27) together form a single, unfolding story of providence, testing, and redemption. Miketz opens in Genesis 41:1 with a precise moment in time: “At the end of two full years Pharaoh dreamed.” Joseph, forgotten in prison, is suddenly summoned. He interprets Pharaoh’s dreams of seven years of plenty followed…
Read MoreThe American Chronicles: The Christmas they say doesn’t exist
A true American Christmas isn’t something you buy, stream, or argue about online. It’s something you carry. It lives in the heart, shaped by faith, family, memory, and moments that stay with you long after the lights come down. Nobody can steal that. A few years back, Hallmark Christmas movies came under fire for being…
Read MoreThe Day the Pasture Caught the Christmas Fire
As many of you know, I grew up on our family farm in northeastern Ohio. The land traces back seven generations, purchased after my grandfather returned from the Revolutionary War. He sent two of his sons west to homestead what was then raw frontier, thick woods, low fertile ground, and real uncertainty. They built a…
Read MoreA heartfelt Christmas Eve Memory
There are a lot of terrible things going on in the world. Yet we are in that sacred season when, as Christians, we pause to celebrate the birth of Jesus the Christ. We can allow ourselves to be shaped by the darkness this world, or we can choose to let our light shine. I choose…
Read MoreFrom Tragedy to Joy
The holidays arrive with lights, music, and tables set for family, yet for many they also arrive carrying absence. Tragedy does not check the calendar. I read recently about a young woman killed in a car crash just after Thanksgiving. Her husband had died four years earlier. Their daughter was three, now left without a…
Read MoreChristmas and the Politics of the Roman Religion
Every December, the world turns its attention to celebrating the birth of Jesus the Christ on December 25. Yet Scripture itself never gives a date for His birth, and the biblical clues don’t support that date. Luke 2:8 records that shepherds were “living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night.” In…
