In recent years I have addressed a letter to family and friends at Christmas time. I am attaching this year’s letter. God bless you all. Dear Family and Friends, It’s a busy time of the year, and I don’t know how many of you will take a few minutes to read this, but I want […]
I recently tuned into a conversation between Katie Couric and Senator John Fetterman about the late Charlie Kirk.

Tomorrow we celebrate the resurrection of our blessed Lord and Savior. At this time I have chosen to repeat some things I wrote before. Please read and think about it. I have always appreciated the writings of C.S. Lewis. I have paraphrased some of his arguments in the following paragraphs. We will never understand God […]
