Got Zeal
The Archbishop of York, a major leader in the Church of England, last week told the organization’s General Synod that the Lord’s prayer was “oppressively patriarchal” because of the reference to “Our Father” at the beginning of the prayer taught by Christ. The July 7 report from GBN, a Great Britain news network, quotes Archbishop…
Read MoreThe Farm Chronicles: The sisters I never had
I grew up with two older brothers—Chuck was 14 years older than me, Larry is 9 years older. So, it was like being an only child. My brothers were all grown up and mostly out of the house by the time I was old enough to be fun. That’s one of the reasons why my…
Read MoreLashon hara and the talebearers—not a rock band!
Christians and conservatives get riled up pretty easy over the deliberate weaponization of the news, the falsehoods, half-truths, lies, insinuations, agenda pushing and just plain political intolerance and ideological bigotry by the news media and the liberals.

The Centers for Disease Control is now saying that If you have been fully vaccinated against COVID, your chances of hospitalization with COVID are 8 percent higher than the unvaccinated.

Read MoreStupidocrisy: The fortunate son
In November 1969, Credence Clearwater Revival released the song Fortunate Son. Lead singer John Fogerty says the song was birthed out of extreme distrust of executive authority. The second verse reads: “Some folks are born silver spoon in hand; Lord, don’t they help themselves, no; But when the taxman come’ to the door; Lord, the…

As the data from studies regarding the COVID pandemic accumulates and is analyzed, more experts are joining the growing chorus of those who believe World Health Organization mandated protocols contributed to a massive number of needless deaths.
