Over the last few weeks I attempted to share some of the news I’d heard from various sources here on this blog. I wanted to find a way to use this platform to inform those who might not necessarily have time to dig into all of the information that is out there. After spending quite…
As we begin to see the pieces falling into place, it becomes even more clear that there is a group of individuals out there who have been manipulating our society into a place that many of us never asked to go. There has been so much fighting about immigration and who is legal and who…
My fiftieth birthday is looming. In about two and a half weeks, I’ll be half a century old. This has been weighing on me a bit. Usually, I don’t think twice about getting older. I feel like the lessons I’ve learned over the years have been well-received and that God has always blessed me with…
