9/27/2020 This morning I was not in the mood for church. A long list of excuses presented itself as to why I shouldn’t go. The usual Covid-era excuses: I hadn’t registered for Mass. I was going to a new church where I didn’t know anyone. And I would be forced to wear a mask. IContinueContinue reading “The Balance of Your Day”

America Needs Couples Counseling!
Let’s face it, America. We need some serious couples counseling! Democrats and Republicans have grown so angry with each other we are like an unhappily married couple bickering over every little flaw we see in our spouse. Republicans are racists! Democrats are baby killers! You didn’t put the lid back on the toothpaste! I’ll killContinueContinue reading “America Needs Couples Counseling!”
We’re too far gone – Return to God. That’s all.
I don’t think it’s really possible anymore for conservatives and liberals to agree. That’s because if you trace all of our arguments back to their logical starting points you’ll see we start from two very different premises related to our understanding of human nature. The question to ask is this: Do you think human natureContinueContinue reading “We’re too far gone – Return to God. That’s all.”
What’s wrong with being a proud boy?
A lot has been made of the Proud Boys. A teacher at my middle school where I work was ousted because a twitter group calling themselves “We will be ruthless” found out he had joined Proud Boys. The community of holy Leftist zealots kicked in full gear and made sure that the teacher was dismissedContinueContinue reading “What’s wrong with being a proud boy?”
The Left’s Many Euphemistic Program Titles
Progressives are skilled at coming up with benevolent-sounding names for programs that have malevolent goals. The California Healthy Youth Act–teaches students how to enjoy anal stimulation, in fifth grade. Planned Parenthood–Aborts children so that people won’t be parents at all. Should be called Planned Childlessness. Black Lives Matter–Hides behind a sentence that nobody can disagreeContinueContinue reading “The Left’s Many Euphemistic Program Titles”
Why conservatives HATE this bumper sticker
When I was a more liberal younger self, I used to really like this bumper sticker. But now, I realize how it could be seen as offensive, especially to religious people. For one thing, the bumper sticker implies blame on religion. It seems to be saying that if religious people were as good and peacefulContinueContinue reading “Why conservatives HATE this bumper sticker”
Liberal media, relax. Education has already divided us.
Amid all the talk that the liberal media is trying to divide Americans, we seem forget that education has already done a phenomenal job of it. The liberal education system, coupled with its reinforcing branch, the liberal media, has completely set Americans against one another. Families are being torn apart when one member decides toContinueContinue reading “Liberal media, relax. Education has already divided us.”
The credo of the Left is nothing more than an attitude of platitudes
This sign is posted in the yards of many well-to-do liberals in my neighborhood. It really baffles me as to why they decided to make this their creed. The term “creed” comes from Latin meaning “I believe.” The Apostle’s Creed, which I subscribe to, is really where the term came from. “I believe in GodContinueContinue reading “The credo of the Left is nothing more than an attitude of platitudes”
A hole in my steering fluid line
Patience achieves all things.
An Osage Orange Surprise
This morning, I was cutting down some trees that had grown up next to the old farm house. I didn’t pay much attention to what I was cutting. There were some thorns, but I assumed they were just from a wild bush that had grown up around the trees. When I cut one of theContinueContinue reading “An Osage Orange Surprise”
