Our Only Hope
There is only one hope for America. That hope does not rest on the shoulders of a political candidate or party. It rests on the words of an if/then statement written nearly three thousand years ago. "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and … Continue reading Our Only Hope
Political Rumblings
Has anyone in the press not talked about President Biden's debate performance? Little can be said that has not already saturated the news and private conversations. In too simplistic of a sumerary, one side says, "I told you so!" and the other says, "We have to do something." With the political climate in America reaching … Continue reading Political Rumblings
Does America Have Hope?
History was always one of my favorite subjects in school. Wars move borders, crush and strengthen ideologies. They are pivotal to human history.

Just as in physical warfare, in spiritual warfare, … Continue reading Suit Up

Influence
Each one of us has individuals that influence our life. Parents are high on many people's list of those making a difference in their lives. After all, without our mom and dad, we would not exist. Teachers are also high as influencers in people's lives. Thinking back to my school-age years, there are teachers I … Continue reading Influence
The State Of The Union
The state of America can be a short speech. One sentence will do - "The country is a mess." Our problems include inflation, abortion, crime, mass shootings, health care, Chinese spy balloons, a general lack of trust, wildfires, hurricanes, the supply chain, an ever-increasing national debt, and the list goes on. Now that several problems … Continue reading The State Of The Union
