The video above makes one ache. A woman wanting a child is given an chemotherapy/abortifacent drug by mistake because her first and last name are almost identical to the first and last name of a nearly 60 year old woman who does need to receive the drug for legitimate non-abortion medical reasons. This video gives […]
Snow stress syndrome?
As you probably know, people in the Deep South are unaccustomed to snow. After we emigrated to the United States, I grew up in the North, so I learned how to drive in snow, dress for snow, make snowmen, wax sled runners, etc. But, I was not aware of just how unaccustomed to snow the […]
Memories and children
All children grow up. But, we who are parents spend so many years raising them that sometimes we forget that there was a time before we had children and that there will be a time after our children are grown. We may be parents until the day we die, but we only raise our children […]
Sorcerers, adulterers, and bad employer
Yesterday we looked at a “devotional” e-mail that was full of bad Scriptural interpretations and junk science, but in the process I quoted from the Book of the Prophet Malachi. However, I did not quote the next verse that followed the verses I quoted earlier. Yesterday I quoted these verses: “I will send my messenger, […]
Refiner’s fire and us
Watch this video to the 2:40 (two minutes forty seconds) mark. You need not watch the rest of it, but you may if you wish. Have you ever received the e-mail below? Malachi 3:3 says: ‘He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver.’ This verse puzzled some women in a Bible study and […]

In that epistle, Saint Paul begins to talk about the limits, what must be received, and what must […]

Acts of kindness

Take up your cross and follow me
One of the strongest sayings of Our Lord Jesus Christ is, “Then He said to them all, ‘If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake […]
Obama’s speech on the Tucson murders
Yesterday, President Obama faced the difficult task of trying to speak to a nation that had been battered by the pundits and talking heads since the murders in Tucson. I call them murders because they appear to be premeditated. I do not believe that the accused will be able to use the insanity defense. I […]
