After reading closely a number of stories and editorials in “The Wall Street Journal,” (dated March 8, 2022), and many other sources previously, I conclude the following: “President” Putin’s “end game” is to create POLICE STATES in Ukraine AND Russia itself (and who knows what other parts of Europe). With his own KGB experience and…

On Sunday night, (March 6, 2022), I watched on Fox “Life, Liberty, and Levin,” (9:00 PM EST), “Revolution,” (10:00 PM EST), and a special that followed “Who is Putin?” at 11:00 PM EST. There were a multitude of experts, military strategists, and very informed persons concerning the war in Ukraine as well as “President” Putin.…

Our Senior Pastor delivered a powerful sermon today by the title, “Hearts are Restless.” I am in the process of reading, a deep first read, an inspiring book, “The Autobiography of Martin Luther King, Jr.,” edited and compiled by Clayborne Carson. Yes, life has its triumphs and tragedies, and the love from and to God…

I’ve been told that when you’re in “retirement,” that you don’t get any days off. In a way, I agree with that, at least in my life. As long as one lives, it’s important to keep following your way or, in other words, living your calling(s). In Ukraine, the noble people do not have a…

I was walking in the neighborhood just the other day and the weather was beautiful. An attractive blonde lady was sitting outside on her steps, simply enjoying herself.

The article is entitled: “Peace Through Strength Requires Economic Freedom.” It asserts, and…

To seek WISDOM from one’s birth requires so, so, so much. One key is listening and learning from others. Most understand that path, whether they follow it or NOT. Let’s evaluate another form of listening, LISTENING TO ONESELF. Such an ongoing practice can and does have immense impacts on one’s life journey. Most of ourselves…

We humans are simply NOT perfect in practically ANY way. Yet, somehow, someway, we should strive from birth for wisdom and truth as we seek our calling(s). In the process we should strive to be kind and loving to ourselves, others, and Almighty God. I deeply believe that we CAN and we MUST. So many…

Stalin died in his death bed ranting and raving. Perhaps Mr. Putin is also sadly lacking in the hope that a living faith can and does abide, within millions and billions of human beings, worldwide. He may fear death as an end or worse – HELL! In my personal theology, that is completely in God’s…
