Uncle Sam Weeps
watch video of song – Uncle Sam Weeps UNCLE SAM WEEPS by Jan L. Grace In this land of the free and the home of the brave, Kneels an old ragged man with his banner to wave And he weeps, Holding those Colors, the red white and blue, With hands rough and worn…

A Matter Of Faith
I recently asked my Facebook friends “Is the devil real – yes or no?”. Overwhelmingly their response was yes. Okay. Does that mean the devil IS real? No. Public opinion doesn’t make a thing true or false. If YOU asked YOUR Facebook friends the same question, yours might respond in a different way. Back to…

Hiding Behind God
Every so often I read or hear a statement that really trips my trigger. And I just bet you do, as well. I recall hearing someone recently say, “Christians are always hiding behind their God.” Isn’t it amazing? Like, is there anything wrong with that? Everyone uses someone or something to hide behind.

Mister Big
In my sixty years of living on this blue orb we call Earth, I’ve met just a few people I’d describe as big. I mean BIG. Of course, there are different ways of measuring people. When I was in grade school I met a man known as the Wilson Giant. He was skinny and 8′…

Judges and Judgment
In my opinion, and in the opinion of four of the nine Supreme Court Justices, June 26, 2015 was not a day for America to celebrate. It was NOT a new day of independence. Yes, there’ll be many voices declaring the American society has finally seen the light. But has it really? What has…
