[March 1, 2024] Karma is a mean dog sometimes. The first time I’d ever heard of it, I thought “moonshine” was some disease, and after tasting the vile stuff, I had no reason to alter my mind. As a struggling High School student (I wouldn’t say I liked school), I was attracted to some unsavory types. Bad choices,… Read More »

[February 26, 2024] There was once a time where we in America could make good predictions about the future, our children would live better than us, cars and airplane travel was safer, crime was falling, wars were less likely, and our families were considered important. No longer. Someone once said that our world is just weird weird. Today… Read More »
[February 25, 2024] Javier Milei is Argentina’s hero, and I will add that he is also an International hero. Why? He has single-handedly turned around the social and economic fortunes of Argentina and shown the world that the insidious Woke/Progressive/Leftist modern ideologies are inherently destructive and morally unfair. As Argentina’s new President, he has embarked on a one-man… Read More »

[February 23, 2024] I woke up in a sweat, my heart pumping and my mouth dry. It was the same dream I’d had since I was a little kid and before I could remember my dreams. It was not a nightmare, not too scary or crazy, but not uncommon either; it was a frustrating dream that little kids… Read More »
[February 18, 2024] For the gazillionth time, my Mom told me to get my elbows off the table and to stop chewing with my mouth open. Supper time was the most important meal of the day, and everyone in our family was to be there – like a rule – I was told to help by setting the… Read More »
[February 15, 2024] Fanny slammed on the brakes of the School Bus she was driving, and then, as she stood up, she turned around and yelled at us, mostly Junior High School kids from Bastrop. “Shut up with that racket. I can’t drive with all that screaming.” That’s a close quote, as best I can remember, but I’ve… Read More »
[February 11, 2024] Occasionally, you hear about our World War II heroes. Still, you never hear of them coming home from the battlefield and integrating themselves back into their hometowns, opening a business, marrying and having children, and being a pillar of their community. Today, we have the daughter of one such hero, Susan Friedenberg, and I want… Read More »
[February 10, 2024] The most basic definition of prayer is “talking to God.” Prayer is not meditation or passive reflection; it is a direct address to God.
