I am writing this late at night because I can't sleep. Earlier this evening against my better judgement I accompanied some of my church members down to the homeless mission. I wish I hadn't gone, and I wish I could apologize to the residents there over what they were forced to endure in the...
Christmas is over, thank God. Now there is just New Year's to get through and then everything will get back to normal.
Ok, here's the deal when it comes to the major holidays, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years. These are all family holidays. I live alone. I have no family nearby. This...
The other day when I came home from work I found that the power was out, so after a while of sitting around in an increasingly cold house, I decided to call some of my friends to find out the extent of the outage. I reasoned if they were all out of power, too, then it might be awhile before it...
Well, the supposed Mayan apocalypse has come and gone without incident or any noticeable change in the environment. Several area schools closed for the day partly for weather-related reasons but mostly because of rumors of weapons and violence. I was in the bathroom at work around ten when the...
Late last night when everyone was in bed sleeping, an unknown person or persons came by the trailer park and threw Molotov cocktails at several trailers. One landed underneath a trailer, the other under a car and the third broke a window but bounced off. This individual or individuals also...
Once again, it is open season on teachers. They make too much money, they have too much vacation, their union is too powerful, they can't teach, and on it goes. Now the level of resentment has increased. In order to prevent another massacre as happened at Sandy Hooks, it's obvious that...
Once more Aspergers is in the news and not in a positive way. I am afraid that it may backfire on all of us, especially young males. I wish I knew what the answer was.
I wonder, was this troubled young man a member of one of our forums, either AC or another? Is there something any of us...
Little children should not die in terror. But they do. Every day.
We lie to our children, we tell them that we will always be there to protect them, or if you are religious, you tell them that God loves them and will protect them.
But what happens when it all goes wrong? When...
This week Michigan became the newest "Right to Work" state. All week long there have been protests and demonstrations including a huge one in Lansing that turned into a brawl between pro-RTW and anti-RTW forces.
Now what the heck is "Right to Work" you might ask. Does that mean that...
Yesterday I heard on the news about the Connecticut school shooting. This comes on the heels of several other well-publicized shooting incidents. At the same time, our wonderful Michigan legislature has decided to allow "concealed carry" in "gun-free zones". Of course, they would no longer be...
All right everyone, you can forget diet, genetics, chemicals, and all the other proposed causes of autism. Here it is, the real reason why autism is on the increase.
It has to do with the upcoming events of December 21, 2012. Nobody is really sure what is going to happen but something is...
Yesterday I wrote about the movie "Courageous". Now I'd like to add some more thoughts.
As Christian movies go, "Courageous" is not bad. It certainly is far better and more truthful than "Seven Days in Utopia." However, it could have been better. I realize it is not possible to cram...
Last night I watched "Courageous", a movie about a group of cops who rediscover the true meaning of fatherhood. It's not a bad movie, as far as Christian movies go; in fact, there's quite a bit of good stuff in there about relationships and responsibility. We've been talking a lot about family...
Last week in my church group we were discussing the verses in Matthew which talks about Jesus raining curses down on certain villages because they rejected him. "Woe to you Bethsaida and Chorazin, if the miracles had been done in Sodom and Gomorrah that had been done in you, they would have...
Well, it is Black Friday again and as you can see, I am not out shopping. I went to friends for Thanksgiving and when I found out they were going to throw out the turkey carcass I asked for it and now I am making gumbo in the crock pot. It may not be strictly authentic but it sure smells good...
Well, here it is again. Black Friday is almost upon us. Now merchants are extending it into Thanksgiving. Is nothing sacred? Well, yes, the almighty dollar. I don't have a problem with having "In God We Trust" on our currency; I only think the word "this" should be added so that it states...
There's been quite a lively discussion in the forum lately about waiting for marriage. As you know I've written a lot about how I feel about the subject. Now I want to write about another side of the issue that nobody talks about.
There is a large group of people out there who are sitting...
Dear Church Family:
This is not an easy letter to write. In fact, if I knew any of you would be reading it I probably wouldn't be able to write it at all. It's certainly not anything I can say face to face.
For the past year and a half I have been attending services and some of you have...
According to the news this morning, a bunch of disgruntled voters are in the process of gathering signatures so that Michigan and several other states can secede from the Union. I kid you not. Of course none of the big-name Republicans admit to being behind it.
As anyone from Michigan's...
Well, it came up last night at small group Bible Study. The "h" word. Do you want to know the reason why Christian groups like Focus on the Family oppose anti-bullying legislation? Hold your breath. Here it comes.
They oppose anti-bullying legislation BECAUSE THEY are AFRAID that someone...
