I love my country. I love knowing for what She has stood over the last 234 years. She has been a bastion of liberty and hope for mankind in the political sphere. Her beacon of freedom has shone throughout the world as a reminder of the promise of Man. With all of her beauty, She [...]

Today is the Second Sunday in Advent. My sermon this morning was about the “Word of Peace” which is Christ Himself, God Made Manifest, The Incarnate Word. What I challenged everyone to remember is that Christ is truly God’s Word — as Scripture is that verbal essence of God’s Self-revelation to mankind, so is Christ [...]

“Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.” Psalm 22:4 I have been asked numerous times how I can believe so fiercely in God and in His Son Jesus Christ. Others have been clueless as to where my faith seemed to originate. The only answer I can give is that it [...]

Wow. Isn’t this fun? I was going to go a different direction for part two, but instead, I think I’ll go to the “next step”. As I mentioned before, I was severely disappointed in the place of politics in the workplace at the Bank. What I didn’t realize was how prevalent the nasty waves of [...]

Years ago, I worked for a major US bank in a very “elite” service area which dealt with critical issues facing the company’s growth strategy and structure. Admittedly, I was pretty low on the totem pole and mostly only a peon, but I did work in this particular division of the company that afforded me [...]

You know when most people go on vacation it is to escape work and have a “stress free” and enjoyable time with their families doing fun things and recuperating from the vagaries of “life”. While I have had a generally “relaxing” vacation on the physical level — not having to go in to work or [...]

Last year about this time, my beloved heard that there was an “organic” farm fairly near (about 30 minutes away) that had organic strawberries for sale. She dragged me along one day to gather up a couple of gallons of strawberries. To be honest, I was not enthused. I did, however do my best not [...]

I was warned by my beloved that I needed to post some meat tonight, because the last couple of posts have been, well, rather dull. So many things to talk about, and I’ve got a killer headache. Suffice it to say… our government is leading us into a godless period in our country for which [...]
