The 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…

The Truth About Vaccine Doses and Jabs

The national debate over America’s childhood vaccine schedule intensified after a Trump administration memo suggested aligning US practices with Japan and Europe. At the center is a simple but vital question: What are children actually receiving and what is the impact? These shots are often mixed or inflated in public debate, leaving parents unsure of the…

Faith Forged in A Pit

Vayeshev (And He Dwelt), Genesis 37:1-40:23 focuses on Joseph, the son whose life will set the stage for an entire nation. Joseph receives the famous tunic from his father, shares dreams that hint at a future rise, and sparks jealousy among his brothers. Their resentment leads them to sell him into slavery in Egypt while…
