• Social Media Buzz

  There are so many topics this week that have been buzzing. My number 1 would be the outlandish remarks of hopefully ex-Presidents of some Ivy League Schools. The arrogance of all three women… absolutely vile themselves. Here we are in 2023 these Universities have women Presidents that in itself is a modern advancement and honor…

• 1941 Speech to Congress

  Eighty-two years ago President Franklin Roosevelt very articulately spoke to Congress, Americans and the World. Looking back at my time at OCU my senior year I wrote a paper about this very man. Some of my research showed me Roosevelt himself let this attack happen in order to step into war. This was a new…

• A Day To Remember

  Exactly 82 years ago America was attacked by the Japanese. Very few people alive today remember that day. Grandma Betty told me she was in her home, the kitchen and she remembered how cold it was that day here in Indiana. She heard about it first over the radio that day. Of course I never…

• Christmas Tunes By Kids & Teachers

  Today is the first time in too many years since I watched my niece in a School Program. It’s been at least 3 years. Work was the excuse last year, but lack of coordination and communication around the supposed parents is to blame otherwise. I am trying to be nice about it too. This was…

• A Pearl Harbor Spy

  December 6th the day before chaos erupted on the Hawaiian Islands. I used to think only about the day of the massacre and nearly forgot about the day before. What were people doing before the kamikaze Japs unloaded their frustrations onto the American and Hawaiian people? We know now that Japanese spies were asking questions…

  Egypt is a special place for God, Adonai. Ms. Hunt again has done her research and 3 times Egypt came to Israel’s rescue in Bible Times. Of course this third time was centuries after Moses happened to the royal family and the Red Sea miracle. All of those events were long gone and written into…

• Day #5

  The topic today is the Temple. The angle she mentioned from a woman needing to purify herself by paying for the offering of 2 turtledoves and pigeons. Childbirth was different in many ways and simpler compared to the hospital settings nowadays. Oral history was a tradition for the Jews and the verse in Genesis 3:15…
