In the Ministry

  Two ministers were having dinner at a farmer’s home during a certain church conference.  The farmer’s wife cooked three chickens, saying to her husband that their children could dine on the remains after the visitors were gone.  But the ministers wolfed the chickens bare.  After dinner, the farmer showed his guests around the farm, […]

Hypocrisy

Definition of a hypocrite: A person who puts on a false appearance of virtue or religion; or,  a person who acts in contradiction to his or her stated beliefs or feelings. Professing Christians are often accused of being hypocrites, but is that accusation justified? Yes, some individuals who identify themselves as Christian are hypocrites and […]

Romney’s Conscience

I was surprised that Senator Romney voted Donald Trump guilty of abuse of power, one of the two articles of impeachment brought against the President by the House of Representatives.  Romney was the only Republican senator voting to convict the President on either article.  Otherwise it was strictly a party line vote. I believe Romney […]

Impeachment, A Postmortem

The impeachment trial of Donald Trump will end Wednesday night, February 5, 2020, with the President’s acquittal.  It was a forgone conclusion.  Any Democrat Party leader with even a smidgen of intelligence knew that a Republican Senate was not going to produce the 67 votes required to convict the President and throw him out of […]

E Pluribus Unum

 In an earlier post entitled “The Master Race” I described how Adolph Hitler’s insane racial theories led to the death of millions of people, with the European Jews suffering most severely from this madness.  I also posited the thought that the truth is exactly opposite from what Hitler believed.  True racial superiority is not to […]

Courthouse Rules

You know the real reason that we can’t have the Ten Commandments in a courthouse? You cannot post “Thou Shalt Not Steal,” “Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery” and “Thou Shall Not Lie”.  In a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians it creates a hostile work environment.

Reflections on Impeachment

  I must confess that I have not been following the impeachment trial on television.  It is incredibly repetitious and boring, and I pray that it will be over soon. I do not doubt the truth of some of the charges leveled against our President.  Trump wanted the Ukrainian government to investigate the Bidens, and […]

Trump Derangement Syndrome

  The late and much loved Charles Krauthammer coined the phrase “The Bush Derangement Syndrome” to describe what he described as “the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies, the Presidency – nay – the very existence of George W. Bush.” Later he modified this medical term to “The […]

Reagan and the Queen

  Some people regard Ronald Reagan as one of our great Presidents.  Others are not so keen on him.  Regardless, most agree that he had a winsome personality and a wonderful sense of humor. James Baker, one-time secretary of state, told the following story about his old boss: Sometime in the 1980s President Reagan visited […]

Still Driving

  As most of you know, I am ninety years old.  People sometimes ask me, “You still driving?”  I’m happy to respond in the affirmative.  In fact, I recently renewed my driver’s license, and it’s good through August 2027.  Those people at the MVA are real optimists – hope they are right. That reminds me […]
