On the California Fires
With a number of people dead and thousands of homes and businesses destroyed, the massive fires fueled by strong winds in Los Angeles have been utterly devastating. Prayers for all those involved are desperately needed. But the sad truth is this: California leaders and authorities were clearly quite unprepared for these fires, and much of the blame must lie with them.

Thankfulness and Serious Concerns
In his book, History of the Plymouth Settlement, William Bradford wrote about the departure of the Pilgrims from Leyden, Holland. Of course, they would be called “the Pilgrims” only many years later.

Snowflake Rehab?
For the most part, America has been spared early snowstorms in 2024. Colorado being a significant exception. Here in Illinois, it is not unusual for us to get a white covering as early as October!

Divided!
The United States of America is unique. We were not established from an ethnic group, or a tribe, or a religion, or an aristocracy, or a race. Such things do not define us. We were forged from an idea. We were founded as a constitutional republic on the principles of federalism, individual liberty, limited government, and separation of powers.

Blog Pre-election Musings
“Will Your Presidential Vote Send You to Hell?” It was a bit of a startling headline. But that, of course, is the idea of such a tease. I love the challenge of headline writers.

It’s Not a Secret, the Security Detail Failed
The Secret Service has acknowledged their July 13th failure to protect former President Trump, and they are reportedly working to improve security protocols.

Patience and Perseverance Key to Pulling Down Strongholds
If you had surveyed the public a decade ago and asked whether they believed Roe v. Wade would be overturned, a majority would have emphatically said, “No.” Even to the most optimistic person, this seemed far-fetched as a possibility. But in 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned this stronghold of darkness called Roe v. Wade.

Mandated Indoctrination on Climate Change?
More than a few years ago, I was at lunch with an evangelist friend. After the meal, he handed our waitress a Gospel tract. I wanted to reinforce his compassion, so I told the young lady that her relationship with God was the most important thing in the world. She responded, “Yeah, that and global warming!” She proceeded to tell us that she wakes up in fear of what may happen to the earth during her lifetime. I was shocked.

Climate Change or Just Left-Wing Indoctrination?
Last year I was at lunch with an evangelist. After the meal, he handed our waitress a Gospel tract.
