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 …

GUEST POST from Don – Murder & Salvation
Part 1: MURDER EXODUS 20:2-17 The sixth commandment is often written incorrectly in English. You may have it memorized? In any case, it says “Thou shalt not kill.” (KJV, for example), but some newer translations, such as the English Standard Version (ESV) acknowledge the Hebrew meaning of the word by saying, “You shall not murder.” (In a footnote …

GUEST POST from Don – Put Away Your Pets
PUT AWAY YOUR PETS People get ~strange~ when it comes to their phones and their pets. Don’t tell them to put either away, right! As a former service tech (the following was not something I could say aloud at the time): “Please put your pets away BEFORE the service tech arrives!”** (**Professionally trained and certified service dogs …

GUEST POST from Don – Hair vs. Beard
Visiting with friends over the Christmas holidays an engaged woman stroked her beau’s beard and asked “Where does the hair end and the beard begin?” All it takes for me is a good title. I wrote it down. The following flash story has nothing to do with that holiday visit except the question. Turns out that bias can be …
