The ugly and beauty of Helene—a first hand account

Community members organizing donations under tent.

There has been a lot of discussion and back and forth about Hurricane Helene, its devastation and whether the “government” is doing all it can to save lives, assist with rebuilding and restore normalcy. All that aside, my friend Linda Bishop was part of a church group that actually went onsite to assist those in…

Stupidocrisy: The Dems bromance with Iran

Cartoon of Biden at podium with Iran flag.

Many people are shocked at the support the Biden-Harris Administration has given to Iran’s terrorist regime. This, however, is no new thing. Democratic presidents and administrations have in the shadows supported the terror-sponsoring state since as early as Jimmy Carter and that support has transcended Democrat presidents to this day. It was Jimmy Carter who…

Consequences of bad leadership

Book cover titled "Eye to Eye".

The world is demonizing Israel for its retaliation of last year’s October 7 terrorist attack by Hamas. Those who oppose Israel decry the loss of “Palestinian” civilian lives to justify saying that Israel has gone too far. They largely ignore that the terrorists use civilians, schools, hospitals, and UN buildings as human shields, which increase…

The beat that frees my soul

Musical notes entwined in a brain illustration.

Remember the 1972 song Drift Away? The lyrics talk about a world that is so unkind and how the singer is confused each day. “Yet I look for the light through the pouring rain.” he sings, “I’m counting on you to pull me through…Thanks for the joy that you’ve given me. I want you to…

The Yorktown camping experience

Man interacting with gray historical statues.

As a kid, me and my best friend Sonny would go camping back in the woods at the farm every chance we could get. I still have the canvass two-man pup tent we used some 60 years ago. Camping, I guess, was always in my blood. But it is difficult to imagine camping with thousands…

Dems and media turn up assassination dog whistle

Biden appears on The View with co-hosts.

After two assassination attempts on former president Donald Trump, one would think that Democratic Party mouthpieces and the media would tone down the hate speech rhetoric. Not the case. On September 25’s MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said in reference to Trump, “Let’s extinguish [Trump] for good…Let’s just get it done.” Long-time Democratic…

Stupidocrisy: The two-State Solution

Woman gesturing while speaking at event.

A Palestinian state living side by side in peace, widely promoted by President George W Bush and overwhelmingly supported by world leadership, is fatally flawed. This concept is the poster child for doing the same thing repeatedly expecting different results, insanity. How can one remotely expect that a state of people who believe the slogan…

The Burden of Habakkuk

Text reading: "Trust God. Not Government."

The world is in disarray. People everywhere are on edge. The slightest of disagreement quickly turns to acrimony and bitterness. We see families torn apart over politics and opinions on government. A ruthless spiritual cloud covers the earth and manifests in wars and rumors of wars. Innocents are killed in the womb or trafficked for…

Stand, turn and choose

Book, shofar, and decorative candlesticks.

These days, people are all about standing up for and making choices about what they believe. If you take a stand or make a choice, however, that is unpopular with the majority, you may well be ostracized, bullied, shunned, or, as in former president Trump’s case, attempts may be taken on your life. It’s ironic…

The American Chronicles: God’s creation and bubbles

Artist painting by a serene riverside.

Not long ago, Chris said she wanted to renew her passion of painting in nature, especially now that we were traveling to so many beautiful places. She always has been an artist—teaching art, painting for others (we have very few of her artworks)–but with raising kids and all the activities, her painting had taken a…
