Faith, hope and love. Those words ring as true today as when the Apostle Paul  penned them almost two thousand years ago. Faith helps us survive somehow in this often cruel and bitter world.  Faith encourages us to never give up, knowing that the Lord is always with us. Hope springs from our conviction that […]

Yesterday I had the opportunity to bathe myself in Christian fellowship.  In the morning I attended a beautiful music program at my own church, Bishop Cummins Reformed Episcopal Church in Catonsville, Maryland.  It was a mixture of traditional  Christmas choral music, a magnificent organ and trumpet presentation, and a symphony of carols on handbells.  It […]

Saunders Jordan 1895 My dear father went to be with the Lord in 1958.  He was 84 years old and the son of a Civil War veteran.  He went to medical school, graduating in 1899.  He served in World War I, endured the depression and World War II, and lived to see man’s first rocket […]

Above is a relatively recent photograph of the crowded yacht basin at Carolina Beach, North Carolina.  How things have changed since my youth.  Eighty-plus years ago my friends and I would often go crabbing off a small pier that then stood in the left foreground.  Later, when I was in my teens, I puttered around […]

The information contained in this following was extracted from a recent news article in the World News Daily. Some European countries have been influenced dramatically in recent years by Muslim immigrants who choose not to integrate, forming separate societies. In Britain, districts have developed where immigrant communities police their own area and adjudicate conflicts through […]

Young Traitors (As I posted this article, I suddenly realized that I had posted a very similar article two years ago. Please forgive me for being repetitious. It tends to go with age.) My grandfather Jordan and his five brothers all served in the Confederate army.  It disturbs me that today many people try to […]
