I readily admit that I can easily suffer from discouragement. It sometimes seems that life’s problems just continue to rise up without resolution. Like flooding rivers, we can put up temporary barriers to keep the water at bay, but at times they seem to threaten to overflow and break down…
More proof that conservatism in general has lost its way in this country seemed to receive little fanfare in the news. The Washington Post put up an article on 29 March 2009 entitled “Detainee’s Harsh Treatment Foiled No Plots“. This shows the folly of the argument that “harsh interrogation methods”,…
Last year, one of my favorite blogs LifeHacker asked the question “Can Social Tools Really Replace Email?” That question has been somewhat on my mind lately. Their question is based upon the New York Times article by IBM Social Computing Evangelist (how do I get that job?) Luis Suarez titled…
We are all familiar with the “octo-mom” by now. I got tired of listening to a radio station pan her today, so I turned the station. It isn’t that I have any belief that she is virtuous, but rather I don’t care much for that type of gossip and I’m…
Well, it has been over a week. What has been done? Has either the US or the UN imposed sanctions? The Bangkok Post posted the article “Fury in Seoul, Tokyo over NKorea [sic]” on 6 April 2009. The entire region is in an uproar over it. A non-response by either…

I think that sooner or later everyone in the Church of God has heard this question. After all, we: Don’t eat pork. Keep “Jewish” holidays or holy days. Keep the 7th day Sabbath. Don’t keep various “Christian” holidays. I remember once that someone asked if I was Jewish because we…
Every year, I am amazed at how people will come to certain conclusions. The usual noise of whether the Passover is to be kept on the 14th or on the 15th of Nisan (also called Abib) is present this year. I don’t understand this controversy! Rome chose to change the…
This is a day being promoted by various liberal groups to demonstrate against the bullying and harassing of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) students. It is a project of the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN). The official date is 17 April this year, but the date may…
