“The Kids Will Be Okay”

The news of the day is not encouraging…. wars, declines in our culture and society, an inability to agree on even the most basic of truths, and the trends seem to be heading the wrong way. With that in mind, it’s not uncommon for the elderly to express concern about the life they’re leaving to … Continue reading “The Kids Will Be Okay”

“We Can’t Fix The World”

Sometimes I tend to fixate on solving all the world’s problems. I spend time thinking about how I’m going to settle the war in Ukraine and the “crazy developments” in the Middle East, and of course China, oh let’s not forget the increasing chaos in our own country, not to mention the church. And I … Continue reading “We Can’t Fix The World”

“The Next Generation”

Forbes Magazine reported that Sam Walton, the founder of Walmart, was the richest person in the United States in the 1980’s. Walton, a strong Christian, brought the concept of “service leadership” into the corporate structure of Walmart.

“Boy, Oh Boy, Oh Boy”

It seems that I’m often being surprised? I like to settle into normal life, even if it’s a new normal …. “okay, things are crazy, but at least there are some things I can count on, so let’s just live our life.” So I live “fat, dumb, and happy” for a short time and then something else … Continue reading “Boy, Oh Boy, Oh Boy”

Wow, today is election day…the mid-term elections. Many of us are praying hard for these elections.

Lord have mercy on our country. … Continue reading Land That I Love

Delusion– Be On Guard

“Delusion is defined as a peculiar belief or impression that is firmly maintained despite being contradicted by what is generally accepted as reality or rational argument, typically a symptom of mental disorder.”  When I’m deluded, I don’t know right from wrong. “Because they refused to love the truth and so be saved….therefore God sends upon them a … Continue reading Delusion– Be On Guard

“Padre Pio Never Went To Shoprite”

With Judy’s recent back problems, I’ve been doing some grocery shopping. Let’s be honest, I’m not a pro at this. Shoprite is a big store and you need to be on your game when you enter the doors.  "This Is The Actual Purchase" The saga begins with the list, written in pencil on a small … Continue reading “Padre Pio Never Went To Shoprite”
