My daughter and I got into a discussion regarding racism. She got angry to the point of tears. I am a SIS gendered fiscally conservative socially moderate white Christian male. She is 19 and very liberal. Interestingly, we are very close on what we want to see happen with "race relations."...

I was watching TV the other night and there was an for a product. The add made it clear that the product had no GMO ingredients. So it set me to wondering, How do GMO foods hurt the human body? Do they hurt the environment? If you are opposed to GMO foods can you please explain what your...

Is there a difference between the Old Covenant “eye for an eye” and the New Covenant “do to others what you want done to you”? There is this passage from Leviticus Leviticus 24:19-21New International Version (NIV) 19 Anyone who injures their neighbor is to be injured in the same manner...

Many people think that having more guns in public is a good thing, that if more people were armed, those with bad intentions would be less likely to act. In theory, it sounds great. The reality of the situation is something altogether different. Here is an article:  Combat Vets Destroy the...

Okay, its not a headline. But, I am intrigued by Donald Trump as President. He is not a political animal, that should be painfully obvious by now, he is a business man. Politics as usual has left this country in some pretty dire straights. More politics wont change that and will most...

I was more than a bit disappointed in the ESPY's last night. I was channel surfing a bit and I saw this VERY masculine looking and sounding "woman" giving a speech. I honestly thought for a moment I had managed to find Rue Paul's Drag Race. Then it dawned on me what was going on. A...

In places in Europe, large communities of Muslims have started Sharia Law patrols. They go out into their neighborhoods and when they find anybody holding hands or kissing or doing anything against Sharia law they step in and stop it. This seems to me like the first step in overthrowing a...

Labor day weekend traditionally marks the end of summer. School is back under way, days grow shorter and cooler, apples and winter vegetables are being harvested. I thought it would be fun to start a thread about fall cooking. During the summer, our meals are kind of light and cool like...

So yesterday I was a bit melancholy about the end of another season of Westernaires. I talked a bit with my daughter who was also feeling a bit down about and we decided that it is a matter of perspective. From her point of view its sad because it will mean that some friendships end. But, as...

This past weekend was a wonderful weekend but it was also bittersweet. My daughter is in Westernaires. They are a mounted drill team and considered to be the finest mounted drill team at speed (a gallop) in the world. My daughter is not quite to that level yet but that is what leads to the...

A couple of years ago I believe Bob had a gentleman on his show who had had a terrible car accident. He died several times in the helicopter and in the ER and the doctors told his wife there was no hope and she should let him go. She put her bible on the floor, stepped up on it, and told the...

One of the major reasons we bought the new house was so that we could build a barn and move our horse in with us. Much much easier to care for. One of the things I have learned from trying to build a new barn is that we have regulated ourselves nearly to death! The property we bought is zoned...

Hear Ye Hear Ye! To all who are interested and even to those who are not, I had a pretty good weekend. The cabinets are now installed in the kitchen. It has taken a while (we bought the house 6/26/09 and ordered the cabinets on 7/13/09. They arrived the second week of August. I'va had a lot...
