Thanksgiving Day Shopping?
So the “horrible” news is that even Macy’s and Penney’s will be open on Thanksgiving night. People are “horrified.” Here’s the thing: they will open because SOMEONE… and a LOT of someones are going shopping! So, if you are upset, don’t “petition.” Here is a novel thought: JUST DON’T GO. If everyone “upset” by this news did NOT show up……

It’s Not a Gun Culture
In the past few weeks, just from the “world of sports,” I have observed something again and again. When something tragic happens, like a mass shooting, we get reflective over being a “gun culture.” I don’t think we’re a “gun culture.” I think we’re a culture of violence. The gun owners who give the snide remarks about banning bricks or…

Jesus and Healthcare
One common claim I hear from some liberal theologians, thinkers, and politicians is Jesus supported universal healthcare. Somehow, Jesus healing people gets equated with universal healthcare insurance. I’m never sure how that leap is made. If those liberals actually believed in Jesus’ healthcare methods and practiced them, I might be more convinced of their arguments. As it is, even if I grant…

Use this day as a wonderful “news-free” day
All the news today will be about the incompetent government we have… but we already knew that! So, it’s a great opportunity for a news junkie like me to keep completely away from all news sources which will all parrot the same information. It’s a great day for prayer, because GOD doesn’t shut down his Kingdom and his resources are…

Why I won’t be “packin’”
The article was this: “Pastor Shot in His Pulpit.” The discussion in a Facebook went to: “Maybe we need to carry when we go into our pulpits.” You can pack. If it’s legal, I ain’t sayin’ nuthin’… especially if you’re packin’. cebook group of ministers centered around this thought: “Maybe we should be packin’ when we head to our pulpits these days.” And I…

The foolishness of this culture
A new show features two “men” who refuse to grow up having a contest to prove which of their dads is the worst dad. The lunacy of this culture will continue to reach out and surprise me from time to time. I am so deeply grateful for a TRUE DAD, a solid man of God, who gave me clear examples…

Praying for Syria
The situation in Syria… Syria… why does that name sounds like it should mean something? At any rate… the situation in Syria is so immensely complex. Add on that the plight of Christians. Wanting Assad gone may not be the best for Christians in Syria. (For some reason WordPress is not showing all my links to other articles right now, which has…

Lord, help us to keep remembering and keep honoring
Lord, help us to remember this day. Help us to honor the fallen. Help us to live in blessing, not cursing. Help us turn to our Healer in this hours.

Syria, Christians, Prayer
There are simply no easy solutions in Syria. It is beyond upsetting to think of a government using chemical weapons on its own people. It DOES cry out for justice. Yet, in the rush to judgment, there might be a need for some pause. Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury, gave this address to the House of Lords as they debated…

Let us remember this day
50 years ago today was Martin Luther King, Jr.’s amazing “I Have a Dream” speech. This article documents how the famous phrase wasn’t even in the original draft. This is a day ALL Americans should commemorate. I want Dr. King’s vision in my own life. I also want his spirit. The article gives this account: When King arrived at the…
