As the 7th verse of the Book of Proverbs phrases it, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. If men would only absorb that essential truth! If we fear the Lord, we will obey his command to love one another, and out of that love would spring blessings beyond measure. So, let […]

This week I spoke to a friend about the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop.  Those contents expose the Biden family’s influence peddling and foreign entanglement.  My friend was not interested, He dislikes Donald Trump with a passion, and he puts on blinders as he examines anyone who opposes Trump.  He admits that Biden has faults, […]

As new revelations come to light, it becomes more and more apparent that over the past few years the American people have been deceived on a massive scale by left-wing operatives.  Their deceptions have been amazingly successful, even to the point of convincing many intelligent, patriotic Americans that their vicious lies are the truth.  It […]

Adieu is a perfect word for parting.  Literally, it means “to God” […]

My wife and I were the proud parents of five healthy sons.  As the years passed, they grew to be fine men.  Each of them is different in looks, abilities, and attitudes, but all of them love the Lord and attempt to serve him faithfully.  As you might expect, their mother and I loved them […]

Like most Americans, I have been extremely disturbed by the sad news coming from the Ukraine.  The images of burning cities and suffering civilians are distressing, and we wish that there was some way that we could stop the carnage. Personally, I believe that we should render all possible assistance to the Ukrainians short of […]

Mores refer to the social conventions of a society.  They define what is acceptable behavior in that society.  Morals relate to those behaviors that an individual himself or herself believes to be right or wrong.  A person’s morals may or may not conform to the mores of the society of which he or she is […]

Yesterday we had a late cold snap after a few days of spring-like weather.  I loved the beauty of the snow coming down, but I did not like the drop in temperature.  As I grow older, I have become more sensitive to the cold. At times like this my mind tends to fill with visions […]
