• Timing and Strategy

  The historian in me loves how this is playing out. Of course I wasn’t born yet in 1963 when JFK was shot in Dallas. However, the Kennedy Family in America is close to royalty and my interest in this family was also induced by my love in reading about history. Especially PT 109 intrigued me.…

• Standing Up

  It’s difficult for me to stay out of politics anymore. I did when I knew I heard a still small voice in the back of my head and I thought no way I could do that. I was wrong, maybe dead wrong. We have to be diligent to listen to God’s voice when He urges…
