The Last of an Era
Our recruitment numbers are eviscerating and show that the American idea of exceptionalism seems to have disappeared. The military brass have been attempting to gaslight Americans using minority groups that don’t love this country to say they do and make it look like they are showing a slight effort to encourage recruitment. Well it’s not…

How have you adapted to the changes brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic?-Writing Prompt
This is a loaded question. Most of the changes brought on by the pandemic were done so by non-elected bureaucrats. I learned what I needed to learn about diseases from Wal-Mart ironically.

A Year Later
Sunday was the sad, One-Year Anniversary of the tornado that blustered its way through Sullivan, Indiana. I don’t know when I noticed it but at least not quicker than 6 months ago I saw a piece of debris on my way home from Highway 41 going East towards Dugger. There are trees that still look…

Easter Movie Night
Timing. Timing is everything with God. From the moment I saw the previews for ‘Just In Time’ I knew it was something I wanted and maybe needed to watch. The night it debuted was Monday, but I had forgotten and missed it. I kept thinking I will watch this and each day I forgot until…

It’s Good Friday, Again
Today is a day for self reflection and for family conversation. Not all families get to be together today or this weekend though do they? Israeli and American hostages are still in Hamas hands.

What makes me laugh?-Writing Prompt
Well… I feel like I have mentioned this a lot over the past year in my articles. Uncle Mike was truly my funny bone. He had a way of getting everyone to laugh in spite of us not wanting to at different times. He and Uncle Tony were sometimes like a comedy team, brothers who…
