Folks, the short version is this: the phrase “seven years” is never mentioned in the New Testament. Not ever. Never once. But somehow, it’s a doctrine in the minds of most modern evangelicals. Ditto for lots of other proclaimed doctrines. Amongst these are: A rebuilt temple in Jerusalem—never mentioned in the New Testament. Jesus said…

Whose World is This Anyway?
Last night, the Thursday night Bible study was yet another doozie. Folks, this group is so hung up on Premillennial Dispensationalism that it’s disgusting. First, they know that I disagree with them on eschatology; therefore, lots of prayers were offered that the Holy Spirit reveal the Truth to them by fiat. Intense study of the…

Folks, this blog may make you want to throw bleach over your eyes. It’s that bad. Jeffrey Pribble, a varsity football coach and teacher at Tracy High School, was arrested last week after police said his cell phone was found recording students in the boys’ locker room. Pribble, who began coaching at Tracy High School…

There is a lot of talk lately about Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania switching parties to the GOP. This is because he has shown strong support for Israel. Make no mistake about it, Fetterman votes with democrats 90% of the time. Yet there is serious talk of a primary challenge in 2 years. My advice? …

I paid money to see a local attorney about the pit bull killing my dog. They took a pass on any intervention. Ditto with the local police. The pit bull must either attack a human or kill two more animals—along with people filing police reports—or nothing will happen. I was advised to work things out…

In his book, The Prince, Niccolò Machiavelli famously said that justice cannot be had without money. The same can be said about Attorney Mario and the legal system that he navigates. Pesos (expended by me) yields progress. The annulment process for my girlfriend has finally taken a leap forward as measured by every metric that…

Title is self-explanatory. Seventy-some-odd people ran for governor, about eight were actually qualified. When I say qualified, I don’t mean that they are a resident, meet age requirements etc. Here is what I mean. Bottom line: run for an office you think you can win. As mentioned earlier, a gubernatorial campaign will cost you 40-50…

Yep. It was Wednesday, August 5th. I got home about 7 PM, grabbed the mailbox key, hooked the leash to my friend, and proceeded to walk to the mailbox. I’ve done this evolution virtually every day for three and a half years. Last night there was nothing in the mailbox, so we headed home. We…
