  • The Tree of Life

    [Self-Improvement:Spirituality]
    Jesus, said he came to give us life and that abundantly. This article speaks to this form of “life” that we have been offered and yet seem incapable of accepting and experiencing.


  • Desperate Times, Desperate Measures!

    [News-and-Society:Pure-Opinion]

  • What’s a Hero?

    [News-and-Society:Pure-Opinion]
    A look at the overuse and misuse of the word, “Hero.” Everyone seems to be a hero today, which is an insult to the true heroes in our world.


  • Is There a “Hell?”

    [Self-Improvement:Spirituality]
    As believers, we cannot profess to believe that there is a literal “hell” and eternal separation from God (for those who don’t believe in this age) and then say we believe in God’s sovereignty, love, grace and will. It is a contradiction at best, in my estimation! We can’t hold to both of these premises, because they are not compatible.


  • Suffering and Enduring

    [News-and-Society:Religion]
    A look at how enduring difficulties, or suffering, can enhance our lives and walk with God. This is a difficult issue, since we live in a world obsessed with having what we want, when we want it!


  • The Church

    [News-and-Society:Religion]
    The word, “Church” has come to mean something totally different than God’s original intent. The Body of Christ, or church, was never intended to be divided as it is today.


  • Authentic Fellowship

    [News-and-Society:Religion]
    A look at the modern form of Christian fellowship and how it differs from what Jesus and his disciples had. There is too much emphasis placed on fellowship today, as opposed to discerning or being led by the spirit of God.


  • Sin and Legalism

    [Self-Improvement:Spirituality]
    Many are kept from God’s truth by those who don’t understand God’s grace and love. The emphasis on sinning, or legalism, is contradictory to the teachings and life of Christ.


  • God’s Sovereignty

    [Self-Improvement:Spirituality]
    Much of Christendom seems to deny God’s sovereignty. Above all else, we must understand that God is sovereign and in all ways.


  • Justification by Faith

    [Self-Improvement:Spirituality]
    We are justified by faith alone, so says Paul, the apostle. We cannot work our way into God’s favor or salvation, only faith in God’s son will make us justified in God’s eyes.


  • God’s Grace

    [Self-Improvement:Spirituality]
    A short article dealing with the subject of God’s grace. It’s through the grace of God that we have salvation in Christ.


  • “The Good Old Days”

    [News-and-Society:Pure-Opinion]
    “A long time ago and in a distant lifetime, far, far away,” I would sit and listen as my parents and grandparents spoke of “the good old days.” As I listened, I can remember rolling my eyes in my head and thinking, cynically, “Yeah, the good old days, when we had depressions, world wars and there wasn’t even television!” Now, as I close in on the ripe old age of sixty, I find myself thinking and sounding very much like my parents and grandparents, even though I never experienced “the (real) good old days!”

  • Praise God! The Farce is Almost Over!

    [News-and-Society:Pure-Opinion]
    An article that expresses my views on the current presidential campaign. A prayer by a misguided and confused minister, on behalf of the McCain campaign, is just one of many reasons why I have felt compelled to take a political stand, as opposed to remaining neutral.


  • He Who Has an Ear

    [News-and-Society:Religion]
    A brief examination of Revelation, Chapter 3. The prophecy, in particular, to the church in Laodicea seems to describe the current state of organized Christianity.


  • Integrity and Politics

    [News-and-Society:Pure-Opinion]
    An article that looks at our political process through the lenses of honesty and integrity. Two quotes, by Socrates and Logan Pearsall Smith, seem to confirm my less than flattering view of our political process.


  • Baby-Boomers – “Why So Glum?”

    [News-and-Society:Pure-Opinion]
    Why are baby-boomers so glum? As a baby-boomer, I point out five, major reasons why my generation has a dismal outlook on life.


  • Seeking God Outside of the Tradition

    [News-and-Society:Religion]
    An article about my spiritual journey, over the past eight years. Leaving the traditional church has been a challenge for me and very difficult at points, but the spiritual rewards, in the long run, have been worth it!


  • Progressive Christianity

    [News-and-Society:Religion]
    An article that examines “Progressive” Christianity and its emphasis on the intellectual pursuit of God. In my opinion, the cognitive cannot be separated from the affective when seeking God, and Progressive Christians evidently don’t understand this.


  • Evolution and “Modern Eugenics”

    [News-and-Society:Pure-Opinion]
    An overview of the theories of evolution and eugenics. A look at how Modern eugenics came to be, and the affect that both theories have had on the world, over the past century.


  • Political Action Or Political Maneuvering?

    [News-and-Society:Politics]
    A look at the political posturing and maneuvering of the McCain campaign in response to the economic crisis. McCain, has moved 180 degrees from his position on the economy, in just the last nine days. Now, he has suspended his campaign and just two days before the first presidential debate.


  • Corporate America & Wall Street – The Latest Terrorist Threat! (Part 2)

    [News-and-Society:Politics]
    This article continues to look at the failure of our government to protect the American people from the corporations greed and corrupt actions. The deregulation that began with the Regan administration and came to a head in 1998 with the deregulating of banks has led to our current financial crisis.


  • Corporate America & Wall Street – The Latest Terrorist Threat! (Part 1)

    [News-and-Society:Politics]
    The first of two articles which deal with the economic crisis facing our country. Most Americans really don’t understand the way our economy works and all the political and corporate wheeling and dealing that goes on behind the scenes. This places us at a great disadvantage when we choose a presidential candidate.


  • Who Can We, “The People,” Trust?

    [News-and-Society:Politics]
    This article looks at the dishonesty which is evident among the presidential candidates. The candidates unwillingness to address questions from the press and the same old rhetoric makes it clear that the candidates are not ready to lead this country. This leaves Americans with the question, “Who can we trust?”


  • Is War a Game to Be Won?

    [News-and-Society:Pure-Opinion]
    A look at the obnoxious view, by our government and many Americans, that winning the war in Iraq is the most important thing. War is not a football game and shouldn’t be treated as one!


  • The Experience of the Mysterious

    [News-and-Society:Pure-Opinion]
    A look at Einstein’s views about God, the universe and creation from a scientist’s perspective. Einstein, never seemed to lose track, in his knowledge and brilliance, of the beautiful and mysterious (unknowable) aspects of the creation.


  • Politics As Usual!

    [News-and-Society:Politics]
    I had intended to remain neutral in my opinions and postings on the presidential campaign, since I don’t believe either candidate is much of a choice. But, with the article below and the Bill O’Reilly attack on Obama last night, I have changed my mind.


  • Callous Corporate America

    [News-and-Society:Pure-Opinion]
    I saw an automobile commercial this evening that really speaks, in my estimation, to the callous and insensitive nature of corporate America. This commercial featured several robots playing a game that was a cross between football, hockey and basketball. The game was taking place as these robots assembled one of the manufacturer’s more expensive models.


  • The Fine and Performing Arts & Education

    [Reference-and-Education]
    A look at the positive affect that art education has on the rest of the curriculum. Art should be at the center of an effective educational process, instead of having to fight every year just to remain in the curriculum.


  • Educational Process & Product

    [
    19b3
    Reference-and-Education]
    An article showing the importance of educational process over product (testing scores, outcomes). An affective teaching process can not only enhance the students ability to learn but can also motivate the student to want to learn and become more creative.


  • Public Education & Homeschooling

    [Reference-and-Education:Home-Schooling]
    A look at why many parents are choosing to home-school their children. Many parents-today-sense that their children will not receive an adequate education in our public schools. Our education system also seems to ignore the values of parents and violence occurs in our schools almost every day, so more and more families are choosing to take control of their children’s education.


  • A Special Place

    [Travel-and-Leisure]
    The beauty and peace of Montreux, Switzerland, Lake Geneva and the French and Swiss Alps. My memories of the mountains, lake, city and people of Montreux and how all of this affected my life.


  • American Justice?

    [News-and-Society:Pure-Opinion]
    A look at how the corporate news media affects the American justice system by acting as prosecutor, jury and judge. The corruption of our justice system in the name of corporate arrogance, self righteousness and greed.
