POLITICS and what People Want Solved Once again, election season is upon us and “the sky is falling!.” Whether Democrat, Independent, Republican (or none of the above) there are things we all want. Once again, the things which WE want have been pushed to the background. Candidates want us to get hyped up about single issues (like abortion, …

Supernal Sunday – July 21, 2024 Edition: What in the WORLD?!?
Is there anything in this world that is of more importance than Mark 12: 30-31? What in this world gives us the right to believe that Matthew 5:22 doesn’t apply to us? Of everything that is under the sun, is there anything that should make us believe that God’s laws are for others but not …

GUEST POST from Don: Go Back
GO BACK According to C.S. Lewis (whom I blame for this post) there are times when the quickest way to one’s objective is to go backward. I’ve done it, so have you. I made a wrong turn. It won’t help to speed up because I’d only be going the wrong direction faster. And if you’ve ever lived …

GUEST POST from Don – Honey Bees
HONEY BEES A number of years ago, around 2006, scientists and environmentalists claimed honey bees were dying off. They had evidence. Entire hives went dead in weeks. They were healthy and then they were dead. No single suspect was discovered, but with intense hand wringing it was surmised that PESTICIDES were involved. Soon there was a movement to ban …

Tuesday Truths – May 21, 2024 Edition
(I will be posting these on most Tuesdays as I have a ton of them saved up and need to use them.) As always, these memes reflect topics and views I find interesting. They are not my typical fare; I will post on many subjects, in no particular order or form, aimed at no particular …

WHAT WOULD LIFE LOOK LIKE IF WE TOOK AWAY JUST A LITTLE HUMAN FREEDOM…
I read a few scary articles recently from individuals who tried to present “sensible” ideas from the socialist point of view. Maybe the average reader who has not thought through some of these things already would have been lulled into accepting the ideas as rational. I could only see the big pink elephant in the room. One …

GUEST POST from Don – The Panglossian Trap
The PANGLOSSIAN TRAP To over-simplify the idea (which is what the trap is). Few things are simple. You, for example. Point the First. So many reduce their lives into a single mantra: “Live, Laugh, Love,” for example. It doesn’t work when your transmission fails or Aunt Phoebe dies. “Good to the last drop” is a great slogan, but …

Supernal Sunday – March 24, 2024 Edition: Palms and Political Passion
Palm Sunday brings back a lot of childhood memories. Growing up with a Catholic father, we were taken to mass, followed the rules of the day – especially Lenten practices regarding “giving up” something for those 40 days, and abstaining from meat on Fridays – in our household. Even outside of Lent, though, we had …

Supernal Sunday – Feb 25, 2024 Edition
I don’t have permission to quote her so I want to share this in my own words. Someone wrote on social media earlier this week that she doesn’t want to step foot in a church again after watching “supposed Christians” slapping labels on others when it came to politics. She made the point that Jesus …
