The Farm Chronicles—Jungle Larry
My childhood on the farm in Ohio was quite blessed with many different adventures that involved a lot of animals and even more imagination.

Read MoreThe worldview division
A recent Gallup poll gives a pretty clear indication of how Democrats and Republicans are extremely divided on issues of religion, their worldview of America, and acceptance of socialism.

President Trump delivered an inspiring State of the Union speech. He painted a beautiful picture of America that we rarely get told by the media. He cited that “Under the last administration, more than 10 million people were added to the food stamp rolls. Under my administration, 7 million Americans have come off food stamps,…
Read MoreIowa Caucus and Castro’s funeral
December 2016–The stage was set. There were thousands of people lining the streets, likely forced to be there, even to chant “Long Live Fidel”—and “The Caravan of Liberty,” the same name Castro’s rebels called their bloody march from Santiago to Havana during the “La Revolution” was rolling along carrying Castro’s ashes in a glass encased…
Read MoreSuper Bowl Thoughts
I’m sitting in the lobby of the Loews Miami Beach Hotel gathering my thoughts about the week I have spent in the Super Bowl host city. It was an interesting week of conflicts. It’s where Christian ideals often come at cross purposes with those of the world. As part of my day job—and a most…
