GUEST POST from Don – The Unsettling, chapter 3
PREQUEL to BLURRY MOUNTAIN: “THE UNSETTLING” ©️2026 Donald Whelpley CHAPTER THREE. ANCHORS AWAY. Not long into May the family loaded the wagon and hitched a draft horse. They had a canvas tarp over their luggage, crates, and gifts because, of course, it was drizzling. Branwyn baked a few loaves of bread and packed some cheese for the trip to …

GUEST POST from Don – Fruit Inspectors
FRUIT INSPECTORS It sounded wrong. The man I spoke with seemed spiritual, but he said something which grabbed my gizzard and gave a twist. Don’t get me wrong, just because someone is spiritual doesn’t mean he won’t make an occasional error in thought. The human part of us is pesky that way! What he said was “I’m not …

GUEST POST from Don – Global Warming Re-Imagined (Again)
GLOBAL WARMING RE-IMAGINED (AGAIN) Popular Mechanics, a left-leaning publication, had this headline recently: “Earth’s Disastrous 10th Tipping Point Has Been Identified.” Seriously? The earth NEEDS another “tipping point?” Aside from the humor, considering the earth is basically a BALL … there is no “tipping point.” If the earth were a table it COULD have a tipping point. (Before you respond …

THE GOD OF MIRIAM, JOB AND JOEL…Three lessons about God. MIRIAM’S GOD A friend from church told about her acquaintance in another state.

GUEST POST from Don – As It Turns Out
AS IT TURNS OUT More and more evidence is coming to the fore that shows that Americans have been greatly mislead about many things. (If it were only ONE thing, I think we could let it go…right?) SCIENCE IS NOT “SCIENTIFIC” As it turns out strange things, which do not make a bit of sense, are …

GUEST POST from Don – Practical Application of “The Mind of Christ”
PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF “THE MIND OF CHRIST” My assumption is that some things are, to some degree, within our control as humans. Some portion of auto accidents are the result of things we CAN control. For instance, when the roads are icy, we could reduce the probability of sliding into the ditch by merely lowering our speed. That …
