Yeah, sometimes the bad guys win When the goalposts are pushed further and further back, it’s no wonder justice can’t “score”anymore. And if you’re up on human nature at all, you realize bad guys win because of sin. And I know this is gonna sound controversial…even to many (if not most) Christians. But bad guys win because bad guys sin. … The rest of the story…

Taps and lights out I remember (at least a little) when Taps was played during the funeral proceedings for President Kennedy. But I didn’t remember the bugler’s clinkers during the minute long song. Not until I looked at old video footage. And, of course, people feel the need to make fun of the guy for “missing” notes. But it was … The rest of the story…
Win the battle of wits with nitwits “If I said you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me?” Yeah, that’s a line from a song by the Bellamy Brothers. And I remember seeing them live back in 1976. They opened for Loggins and Messina, one of my favorite bands, at the Uptown Theater in Kansas City, MO. … The rest of the story…
Freedom or security? That’s the wrong question Lately I’ve been seeing that old freedom or security question and issue popping up. And it still makes me sad for America that so many people think that’s an either/or question. Because the words are actually bound together in their meaning. Free people should seek to remain free. Because there’s so much security … The rest of the story…
Are you a worry wart? My mom is 82. She lives in eastern Kansas. And we talk a couple of times a week, by phone. By her own admission, she’s a worry wart. For those of you too young to know, that means she worries a lot. Currently, as you might expect, she’s pretty worried about this whole pandemic thing. … The rest of the story…
Ah, thank goodness for our benevolent government. Not! All around social media and news channels you’ll see talk of a “stimulus package.” And it’s supposed to throw gazillions of dollars out to “we, the people.” You’ll also see so-called “leaders” in congress debating over how much money and who to give it to. With lots of resistance from both republicans … The rest of the story…
Make hay while the sun shines It’s an old saying. But it’s still true. “Make hay while the sun shines” means to make the best of opportunity while it lasts. But these days there are huge amounts of doomsdayers and naysayers who’d rather burn that hay and dance gleefully around the fire. And sing out joyfully to theirs gods of … The rest of the story…
Jesus is the one way I see social media posts and internet articles talking about the forgiving nature of God. And His immense love. Of course, God forgives and loves. Certainly He does. But, unlike most Christians will tell you, it’s not unconditional forgiveness and love. God has one, single condition, one requirement, for His forgiveness and eternal love. You … The rest of the story…
Life as we know it will never be the same. But who is “we?” And in what way do we know life? Those are important questions because they expose perspectives. If you’re someone old enough to remember back to the 50’s and even 60’s, you might remember life as we know it being a lot simpler and a whole lot … The rest of the story…
No one lives on Disappointment Island. And yet, at one time or another everyone has lived on disappointment island. Let me explain. One is an actual island near New Zealand. The other is a metaphor I’m gonna use to describe a place where even your friends will ship you. Sometimes when you least expect it. It’s a consistent consternation to … The rest of the story…
Knowing right from wrong Back in the 80’s, when I was a full-time professional musician in venues all across America, one of my good friends and I would go out to clubs and “check out the ladies”. By the way, my friend was an atheist (or agnostic depending on his mood), and didn’t think about things like whether what we … The rest of the story…
Three reasons drugs are bad Most prescription drugs are bad for the majority of people who take them. There. I said it, and I’m not taking it back. If you’ve been reading my blog or listening to my The Power of God’s Love Podcast for any length of time, you might think this is a bit off my normal topic. … The rest of the story…
If you’re missing a finger, or a hand, or an arm, or a leg, there are many people who say you are disabled. They say you won’t be able to do anything for yourself. They also say people who were born with things like Down Syndrome are never going to be much use. I’m gonna share a video with you … The rest of the story…
Legal Gay Marriage Destroys Lives I just read the news how something called “the supreme court”decided to “legalize” gay marriage in all 50 states. Talk about stupid. And talk about eternal consequences. Those “justices” who voted in favor of this ridiculous ruling have no wisdom…no idea of the lives they’re helping to destroy. And frankly…I don’t believe they give a … The rest of the story…
If you’re a business owner, I’d like to point out something I thought would have been blatantly obvious until recently. No one has a right to force you to serve their needs. Regardless of whatever inane laws vacuous government officials might conjure up…you DO have a right to refuse service to anyone. And what if man-made laws take away your … The rest of the story…
