Folks, I just can’t catch a break. I was minding my own business, as best I can at the church Bible study last night and presto, yet another time when we as modern Christians can’t let the Bible define terms but have to project stuff into the text that it plainly never says. The study…

Another Trip Update for October 28th
This week I attended Freegen Church in Lapu Lapu. This is my girl’s old church. This was our second visit this month. I was wearing a prominent colored shirt and made a short video of the praise music which I later posted on Facebook. Yesterday, I found out that the photo collage that went on…

I know that I haven’t written in a while and this brief blog is proof that I do feel some guilt about that. My wife and I are getting the house ready to move and also overseeing the building of the new place. Our new house is nearing the completion of sheetrocking and will soon…

Yes, I said it and stay tuned because I mean it. Volodymyre Zelensky or however the heck you spell that Scrabble winning name has finally done it. He touched a nerve that cannot be untouched. Crossed the red line that cannot be crossed back. He has become an ungrateful prick. This guy is a former…

A friend of mine does very well for herself, she makes $125k a year. Keep in mind that is double the MEDIAN US income per person. So, she makes more than double the average worker. She informed me Sunday that her spending on her credit card is unsustainable. One would think this is a good…
