  • Getting a Little Political Here

    Getting a Little Political Here

    Just a little. So if you’re reading this, don’t get too weary. Recently, there has been a lot of back and forth on the issue of student debt forgiveness. There are so many ways to look at this – political, moral, economical, personal, Biblical, evaluating the system, seeking corrections to a flawed system, and other…

  • Throwing Mud at Christianity

    Throwing Mud at Christianity

    In the past few days, I’ve read a few articles that do not put Christianity in the best light. It actually seems worse than that. These articles are taking it to the next level by not just criticizing evangelical faith, they are calling them (ergo me) dangerous. USAToday ran a story with the headline “Christian…

    Plexiglas, Politics, and Pews

    It has begun. A new congress has been sworn in. Reports of shouting matches taking place between opposing side’s staffers. Pelosi has been chosen Speaker of the House for the 4th time. Controversial issues have already started to make their way through news outlets … such as impeachment talks (again), election chaos, and an awkward…

  • Spend a Little Time with the Opposition

    Spend a Little Time with the Opposition

    Red – Blue. Left – Right. Christian – Secular. ProLife – ProChoice. FaceBook – Parlor. Coke – Pepsi. Granny Bees – Rail Yard. We find a lot of reasons to separate ourselves, reasons to divide. Our culture already is preparing to punish those that oppose the agenda of whatever side has affluence. We are in…

  • Who is this all about?

    Warning. This is a political topic. Take heart. This is not a political rant. Stay with me. Tuesday, Attorney General Barr went before a House committee for a hearing. Both red and blue congressmen and congresswomen got their say in, and they all said a lot. Prewritten speeches, twisted questions, political slams, and direct innuendoes.…

  • John Denver Was a Prophet

    Almost heaven, West Virginia. Blue Ridge Mountains. Shenandoah River. I love my home state. Virginia. History. Mountains. Beaches. Country. City. Good folks from all walks of life. But years ago, there was a little spat between the North and South that caused the western part of the state to break off and form their own…

  • Yes, Another Article on the Impeachment, Kindof

    Some of my earliest memories of American politics were in the early 70s when I was living in northern Virginia. I remember the TV and papers were obsessed with a hotel name Watergate. I don’t remember caring. I would rather ride my bike and explore Prince William National Park. I miss those days of simplicity…

  • Modern Politics: Food Fight …

    The 2020 election is already in full swing. Twenty plus candidates have already thrown their name in the ring for the Democratic Party. In in the past two nights, they debated in two shifts (10 each night). Being in the California timezone, the debates were late here on the east coast. So, I went to…
