From Innovation to Spirituality
We are presently in The Innovation Age. This will eventually to a spiritual age, which will be a Heaven on Earth. A Heaven on Earth will evoke kindness, compassion and love to and from all of us as we act with mutual respect, friendship and admiration. We must innovate in deeds and faith—worldwide—with a deep appreciation of ourselves…
Read MoreWisdom and Faith Will Guide Us through the Innovation Age
Wisdom and faith allow us to examine these important parts of life with healthy self-esteem and lead a purposeful, meaningful life. Almighty God gave each of us and all of us a mind, body and little piece of God. Pursuing wisdom-associated values allows the development of a living faith that is reflected in the way…
Read MoreLove will unite us on our quest for Heaven on Earth
Let’s abolish hate, once and for all. The underlying negative values of hate, envy, greed and selfishness are at the base of humankind’s problems. We need to engender the positive values. Wisdom, truth, resilience, the stuff of character, must be sought and developed from within and without. Humankind must learn to treat itself and all…
Read MoreContinued Thoughts on Syria
It is my continued judgment that military action in Syria is not advisable. Perhaps we should continue to arouse worldwide reproach toward the despicable dictator of Syria. And all his supporters should be utterly ashamed of themselves. Military actions should become less and less prevalent in the 21st century. Civilizations have simply outgrown that barbaric behavior. …
Read MoreA Message about the Syrian Crisis
The White House has said that the use of military force is still a possibility. On my website, I now have a letter to President Obama and Congress concerning my alarm at the Syrian crisis. We, the American people, must draw our red line in the sand and not let President Obama and Congress drag us into…
Read MoreA Definite Lack of Trust of President Obama
It is no secret that I have not been pleased with our current president. However, I no longer have any trust in President Obama. He ran for the presidency twice proclaiming that he would end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Now–at a time when he should be pulling our military further out of dangerous…
Read MoreWhy Not Help Rather Than Kill?
Why don’t we think outside the military box in Syria? Why don’t we help Syrian refugees in every way possible–our government and others, private entities like Doctors Without Borders, a world-wide positive nonviolent effort. This would be a much more humane endeavor than a risky unilateral military strike by the United States. It would be…
Read MoreEvery Life is Precious: More Thoughts on Syria
I wrote this while at the National World War II Museum here in New Orleans. A friend and I went through the “Final Mission” serving as crew members on the United States’ most successful submarine. We also saw “Beyond all Boundaries,” the powerful, powerful presentation of World War II narrated by Tom Hanks. This was…
Read MoreA Dangerous Situation
I just read on Yahoo! Finance that Russia’s President Vladimir Putin came right out at the G-20 meeting and said Russia had been supplying arms to Syria and will continue doing so. Even more alarming was the particular list of arms. It included advanced anti-ship cruise missiles, fighter jets, and long-range air defense missiles. Russia…
Read MoreLetter to President Obama and Members of Congress
Dear President Obama and all Members of Congress: Foreign policy and control of our military are key functions of our federal government. Quite frankly, I am very alarmed at the situation in Syria, particularly after I found out that Russia has furnished the following arms to Syria: > Advanced anti-ship cruise missiles> Long-range air defense missiles>…
