Imagine there’s no heaven…or Super Bowl
The Cleveland Browns secured a spot in the playoffs Thursday night. Which reminded me of how life is like football. Here’s how I saw it in February of 2021. Imagine there’s no heaven.… Continue reading
My favorite gift
That’s me in the brown hair, seemingly stunned by the incredibleness of the gift I just opened. I’m gazing in delighted wonder at what, if I had been honest with myself, was a… Continue reading
The peace we need most
It’s pretty peaceful here where I live, at least outwardly. Our local towns aren’t plagued by violent robbers and rioters; murderers and malcontents don’t roam the streets. Within some of our homes, however,… Continue reading
Do we trust the driver or do we bail?
Driving the Ohio turnpike in a winter storm at night is, shall we say, adventuresome. Snow completely covering the road and blowing everywhere, drivers having to guess where the lanes are while struggling… Continue reading

How can anyone be so evil as to slaughter babies? How can anyone support the brutal and wicked attacks on innocent civilians? What is the matter with people? I’ll tell you what’s the… Continue reading
This is war
I don’t believe God wants us to be nice. Well, not always nor to everyone, anyway. Sometimes a little righteous anger is called for. And I’m here for it. I think one reason… Continue reading

It’s a bit maddening, and frustrating, and depressing . . . reading so many repeated half-truths, outright lies, and hateful mischaracterizations directed at those fighting for truth and justice. I want to address… Continue reading
