The Cause Is Christ
I’m not against Kim Davis. Really, I’m not. But I’m not for gay marriage either. In fact I’m against it.

However, it’s my opinion that Kim Davis was wrong in…

TSA Security Officers and Preachers
Just recently I noticed a similarity between TSA security officers and preachers. Maybe more than one. Yeah, more than one.

Damned Prisoners
Have you ever been inside a maximum security prison? I have. Years ago I visited a young man from our home town. After driving about three hours to his place of incarceration, I was able to spend about 45 minutes with him. At least he was able to have visitors. Just being inside those cold,…
