The Candidate Most Likely To Be ElectedÂ
In anticipation of the upcoming caucus and primary season, I’ve prepared a piece describing the candidate most likely to be elected. It’s a little lengthy, but it will only take you a few minutes to read. Hey, it’s not my fault that there are so many candidates. Just in case you’re wondering how I, a…

Pornography – A Feel Good Killer
There are many things in this world which stimulate the human senses; things that make a body say, “aaahhh, how nice!” Good things and things not so good. Sinful things. Yes, sin can be, and usually is, pleasurable. That’s why it’s so popular. It’s why you and I do sinful things. We enjoy the good…

A Spidery Web
I cannot tolerate spiders. In fact, I may even be what people refer to as arachnophobic. I can smash them, but I get real edgy until they’re wiped out. The picture at the heading is one I took a few hours ago. As we were leaving a funeral home, my built in spider alarm went…

The Closet
It seems like the world is all geared up for house cleaning. Do you know what I mean? When I was a teenager, my little brother, who is nine years younger, had a messy closet. From time to time I had the chore of “helping” him clean it out. You wouldn’t believe the things we’d…

Mary Magdalene’s Morning
I got up early, after a fitful sleep. Over and over, throughout the night, my mind replayed the horrible sights and sounds I witnessed a few days earlier. I begin my walk of mourning, to the place where my heart was buried. Jerusalem had been very busy for several days, with the Passover feast and…

Crazy Man’s Last Country Tune
Try and picture, if you can, the crazy man of Gadara as a Country Western singer. Imagine him running through the cemetery wearing nothing more than chains around his wrists and ankles, a belt with a buckle half the size of Texas, and of course, a huge black cowboy hat. Sorry for the visual. Maybe…

Songs To Escape By
“You are my hiding place; You preserve me from trouble; You surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah.” (Psalm 32:7 NASB) The psalmist sang this declaration to the Lord after realizing how blessed he was to be free from the guilt, shame, and penalty of his transgressions.
