Burn Out

I was going to write today about this article: But, as a half breed, it’s too depressing. It is still up on my computer for me to reference. My husband, working on some of my website problems started to read it and was baffled. “Why would you be upset your boyfriend finds you sexy?” he […]

Underrated Christmas Films:Scrooge (1970)/Albert Finney

Scrooge, the 1970 film starring Albert Finney is a musical version of Charles Dickens “A Christmas Carol.” The link to Dickens you might have guessed by the name. If you and your kids sing show tunes–if you haven’t heard “Let it Go” enough, you’ll like this musical. There have been dozens of versions of this […]

Underrated Christmas Films: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe

On Sunday my son and daughter-in-law came to visit. At the time, I was watching “The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe,” the Disney version of the C.S. Lewis Novel. This film is a great example of exactly what C.S. Lewis intended to do with the story–spread the gospel without you even knowing you were […]

Experience makes you sweeter

The sweetest juice doesn’t come from the youngest or the freshest fruit, it doesn’t come from fruit that refuses to fall off the tree; it comes from the fruit that has fallen to the ground, been tumbled about and looks like it’s about to explode with age.

Cinderella’s post wedding dilemma

Dear Diary, Sometimes t’s really hard being married to Prince Charming. I think it was easier to live in the attic with the mice, the three blind ones… Is this what it’s like being rich? You’d think they’d enjoy it more, but they are so uptight about it that they don’t want ME to enjoy […]

Most things that are practical are not considered “compassionate,” but we seem to be tripping ourselves up on being compassionate in favor of being practical, and here we are, completely void of common sense in all institutions. I’m all for showing compassion, God knows I’ve had that personal need, but compassion should always be individually […]

Stan The Man

Here’s a short baseball story for your spring break blues: Written this morning: Scott Holister woke up with a headache. He used to be what people called a “morning person.” That was probably because his schedule since he was ten years old was to wake up in the morning and stretch, then a nice long […]

Surviving Abuse

Please ignore this post if you want to avoid political issues: Once upon a time, not so long ago as it now seems, I was in an abusive relationship. What I saw then, I see now in Washington. Before I had committed to this relationship, I thought, quite naively that with nothing but hard work […]

The Pride Cycle

A long time ago, I recognized a pattern. Maybe I recognized it because I was taught it in Sunday School, but it should be pretty evident for those who have studied history. In Sunday School, they called it “The Pride Cycle.” Historians would call it they cycle of civilization, or some such (like such as). […]

The Information Is Out There

What spectacle can be more edifying or more seasonable, than that of Liberty & Learning, each leaning on each on the other for their mutual and surest support? – James Madison Information leads to freedom. It has always been so. When North Korean Concentration camp prisoner, Shin Dong-hyuk, decided to try and escape, it was […]
