Faith, Hope, Love and Truth

I apologize for my last post. As Christians, we should never despair. I was simp;y reflecting my sadness over the fact that so many of my fellow Americans appear to be deceived by a shallow fraud like Kamala Harris. Search for truth, my friends. I have been encouraged by recent messages from Mike Pompeo, Secretary […]

Terror

The possibility that Kamala Harris might win the Presidential election strikes terror in my soul. I cannot believe that American citizens would elect a person who has a history of espousing extremely radical positions on a wide range of subjects. In the past she has supported open borders, abolition of bail requirements for criminal defendants, […]

Who is the Liar?

This morning I was listening to one of my favorite classical music stations.  Unfortunately, it receives funding from NPR, so listeners are occasionally subjected to public radio’s biased news coverage.  As I listened, the NPR reporter said that former President Trump was concerned about possible cheating in the coming election, and, if elected, he promises […]

I realize […]

A Tribute to North Carolina

Sir Walter Raleigh’s 1585-7 colony on Roanoke Island failed, so most of the state’s first European settlers migrated to North Carolina from Virginia a few decades after the 1607 […]

Hot and Hotter

The first electrically powered air-conditioning unit was developed in 1901.  Prior to mid-century the cost of air-conditioning units tended to be prohibitively high for individual households.  Innovations in the latter half of the 1900s lowered costs and allowed for more ubiquitous use.  In many parts of the country most homes now have window units or […]

Hurricane Bait

The Carolina Beach Yacht Basin We are now in the middle of another hurricane season. Beach dwellers along our Atlantic and Gulf coasts brace themselves for another possible hit. This is a photograph of the yacht basin at Carolina Beach, North Carolina, circa 2020.  The view is almost directly south. On the left is a […]
