A Tragedy
The name Charlie Kirk did not come to my attention until January 2021 I believe. It was when I left Facebook for a time and found myself going from one platform to another following Conservative voices. Being out of college for awhile it took me a while to learn about him as well as others…

Writing Prompt:
What personality trait in people raises a red flag with you? This may sound cliche, but having grown up in God-fearing family times two meant the Bible became very important. When learning about the American Pioneers and hearing that they learned how to read from the Bible seemed a bit antiquated. Considering I was a…

Sunday Musings
The last couple of Sundays have felt really good. Being in a pew at the evening service has helped my perspective this past week. Maybe a small part of that is getting to watch goodhearted humor like seeing kids on a Sunday night feel that being at church is natural. As natural as it was…

Writing Prompt:
Why do you blog? For me this goes back to my purpose. God gives everyone a purpose or many purposes in life. I have always been reminded by the parable Jesus tells of the Talents. It’s humbling when God shows you your abilities and that they matter. Possibly even to others. Music was the one…

Writing Prompt: What Motivates You?
The general answer to this is that God has a purpose for me. Everyone born and sadly those that are created and unborn in the womb have a purpose. Roe versus Wade wouldn’t have been reversed just a few short years ago if those unborn lives didn’t weigh heavily on the minds of mothers and…

Last Sunday… Thoughts

Seeing their example was the best thing for me and my siblings and cousins to watch through the years. The past couple of weeks have been a bit stressful. Too many things…

Emotions in Voting
This morning I woke up feeling a bit lazy. Then we went to McDonald’s at Linton. Sure as rain as soon as Mom and I got there the group of men somehow just began talking about Trump’s Sunday excursion at a Pennsylvania branch. Sometimes it’s educational listening to these men, today not so much. It…

Sunday Morning
My last post was Thursday and the pain was a lot for a good round of 36 hours. Plus I had a girl with a headache during the second night. So there were two nights of little to no sleep back to back. On Sunday morning then I had not fully gotten back to my…

Caesar and Christ
Lately pundits on the Republican and Conservative side keep repeating this statistic. Multiple times on different shows the number 40% of Christians do not vote. Even Trump had the line in his speech at least once if not every ‘Trump Rally’ that is really a shocking rate. Growing up voting in my family and church…
