Are you a free thinker? Think again.. I have a friend on Facebook who obviously reads a great deal of history, and he posts some terribly challenging facts from time to time. It doesn’t matter which characters from the past you revere, whether its Martin Luther or Martin Luther King, Malcolm X or Malcolm Muggeridge,..
Nine Truths, One Stinking Falsehood.. My mother was fond of teaching us the devil tells us enough truth to get us to swallow huge lies whole. Mom’s ratio was nine truths to one falsehood. I think the Beth Moore ratio is more like 7 to 3, with a fair number of pastoral illustrations harking back..
You mean a unisex world is a little confused? Picture the setting. You are one of perhaps a dozen men standing in a hot room full of two or three hundred hot women in hot yoga outfits contorting themselves in a kind of body poetry that all but the absolutely bloodless would consider at least..
Dawning of Pair Blue Light My bluetooth microphone actually becomes a microphone when I hold down on the power button for “approximately” two seconds. Before that, it just controls the volume of my ear pieces. If, however, I press the power button once, it will answer a phone call. If I press it twice, quickly,..
God Truly Hates Hypocrites A friend of mine was removed from a Facebook group today for simply observing that women should sometimes have sex with their husbands when they don’t feel like it — just as they sometimes wash the dishes when they don’t feel like it. We do things for people we love because..
“What’s it like to take a human life?” “I wouldn’t know. I’ve only ever killed communists.” –Polish Mercenary, Rafał Gan-Ganowicz If you want to make a hardened second amendment guy morph into a pearl-clutching Auntie Em, mix drinking and shooting. In the very odd 2014 film, Leviathan, a band of hard-drinking former Soviets throw a party..
Okay, this is just… weird.. I was commenting on a friend’s link. Katie Grimes wrote a great article for California Globe, chronicling the strange case of former Congresswoman Katie Hill turning herself into a #MeToo victim for initiating a threesome with a young staff member and her husband. I made a joke: if the congresswoman had..
The Power of Making Someone Feel Despicable.. Picture a world where violent, armed bank robbery was so much a part of the social landscape that some hard left cities actually created “sanctuary” provision for it. This, of course, would represent even greater chaos than we now endure: capital would disappear, banking operations would assume combat..
Brittle melancholies.. I’m only ten years old but there’s something in Karen Carpenter’s voice that sends me into a third heaven. I can feel sugar effervescing across my shoulders and down my arms. “White lace and promises, a kiss for luck and we’re on our way.” I don’t think I have the words, yet, to..
Psalm 149, Just Sayin’.. I live in California — which on many fronts, is led by certifiably insane political leaders — but, countering that, my small town has more than 40 different Christian churches. I know enough about scripture to entertain a forlorn hope: that means there are 40 men in this town who consider..
