Hail and Farewell

Yesterday Joseph Biden became our President.  I am not happy about that, but I must accept it as fact.  I will pray for him, and I will pray that our nation will prosper under his leadership. As I wrote before, my study of history has shown me that many ordinary men and women rise to […]

Govermentium

My friend Norman recently sent this to me.  It’s too rich not to share with everyone I know.  From the spelling in the original, I assume it originated in Britain.  I rewrote some of it in my own words, but the basic ideas remain intact.

Generations

At this time in my life I have six great-grandchildren, and a great-great grandchild is a not-too-distant possibility.  I also have several great-great nephews and nieces – perhaps even a great-great-great.

The surname Jordan is not uncommon, and the fact you and I may have the same last name is not a strong indication we […]

Adrift in the Ice

This election made me feel very old.  It seems that history has passed me by.  All the old truths once held to be inviolable are being tossed out the window.  My childhood heroes are being reclassified as villains, and social activities and language once considered abhorrent are now thought normal. I have the sensation of […]
