WHAT is the PURPOSE of SCHOOL? Talk with 7 teachers or school board members and you’ll get 7 answers, and the last one won’t count … SOCIALIZATION? I’ve read what some write about homeschoolers. They decry the lack of “socialization.” But being homeschooled has nothing to do with socialization. Those children still interact with others their own ages …

GUEST POST from Don – Inflation Myths
INFLATION MYTHS I have been hearing an amazing number of myths about the economy and inflation recently. I checked on food prices locally. Yes, they are up, but not more than 4% over what they were a year ago. It seems that “perception” is seen as more real than reality. Following are three perceptions which don’t pan out when …

GUEST POST from Don – Nothing In The House+
NOTHING IN THE HOUSE + I saw a headline: “Here’s an easy meal when you have nothing in the house.” It is unbelievable to me that “nothing in the house” literally means you DO have milk, eggs, shredded cheese, and raw vegetables! Growing up I remember my mother going shopping at a store which gave out …

GUEST POST from Don – Couples Therapy!
COUPLES THERAPY! I read a real article on couples therapy along with several actual “comments” (below). Some (all) comments on couples therapy are bad advice (from people who failed at being a couple). What would the story be if these commenters’ former lovers were to respond to their posts? (The following responses to the comments …

I love these “truths” displayed on vintage artwork…blunt and sarcastic, in an occasional tasteful sort of way tasteful at times…and yet surprisingly relatable. I hope you also enjoy them.
GUEST POST from Don – Husband Love
INTRO TO HUSBAND LOVE Remember, recently I wrote about “Wives, submit to your husbands…” We explored some hidden aspects of that command. I wonder if you knew those things! Now, a totally separate issue: Husband love. Colossians 3:19 says, “Husbands, love your wives, and do not be harsh with them.” (ESV) As I mentioned last time, there is a God-purpose …

GUEST POST from Don – Sushi
SUSHI I get it! Not all Sushi is uncooked fish. The part that is … not appealing! The whole idea of eating uncooked meats (in any amount) turns my stomach. If I was starving in the wilderness I’d eat what I could find. But I would never go to a restaurant and PAY to live on survival food. Also, I plan …

GUEST POST from Don – Submission
INTRO TO “SUBMISSION” There are a few problems “experts” have when interpreting Scripture. They already know that context is the most important part of interpretation and type of document is significant (Wisdom literature, Poetry, Prophetic, Historical-Narrative, or Theological … using terms you might understand, though they often use other terms). For instance Daniel and Revelation use a …

GUEST POST from Don – Sickness and Pests
SICKNESS and PESTS Following are random thoughts I’ve had about pests and their dangers to life and limb. As Maxwell Smart was fond of saying, “Sorry about that, Chief!” When I was active in pest control I came across several instances where pests were causing health problems either to pets, or humans, or both. In fact, …

GUEST POST from Don – Getting Back With An Ex
GETTING BACK WITH AN EX The first question on everyone’s mind is the first question you need to answer: “What has changed?” Understand that fewer than 44% of couples actually TRY to do so, but should you? I once was on a decision-making committee. One member failed to live up to his obligations and was fired. Less than a …
