Tuesday
March 11, 2025 Clarity through a sleepless night. Today I finished the book I was reading. In all of my life I have never read a more concise explanation as to why King David married as many times as he did. King David is such a charismatic figure of the Old Testament. I knew there…

Sunday With Longfellow
Goodness not quite a month ago was Thanksgiving Day. Though it does feel like a long month ago. On that very night on Great American Family the true story of Longfellow’s poem was debuted.

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…
