Downtown
I recall a time, not so long ago, when the downtown section of Jackson, around court square to be exact, was an absolutely beautiful place to go to on a Sunday afternoon.
It was quiet and peaceful and gave a great many of the old time residences an opportunity to get outside and walk around the… »
Seek the Intensity
There’s something about intensity that generates results like nothing else. I watched a documentary yesterday on the life of Keith Green. Talk about intense! His passion was a consuming fire! His music moved a generation of young Christians in the early eighties. And I was stirred, just watching.
Where does intensity come from and what happens… »
How Much Did it Cost
There are times when I get a little unnerved by cartoons such as this because in comes a little close to home. A shiver runs down my spine, a tingle in my fingers, a quickening of the heart and the knowledge of the outcome.
The reality of death and having seen death occur on a daily… »
What do the top ten US cities with the highest poverty rate all have in common
This is fun to look at (the statistics) but I have no more trust or confidence in the GOP than I do the Democrats. The democrats couldn’t do what they do without the HELP of the GOP. Take a good look at Newt’s 104th Congress, Contract ON America and what Clinton was able to put… »
I’ve been used!
OK, just to let you know, this is a praise, not a complaint…I’m going to do a little bragging, but certainly not about me, because that’s not who this is about.

The Tea Party in Utah flexed its muscle over the weekend and booted longtime establishment Republican senator, Bob Bennett, from office. Hooray! (Now, Arizona, please do America a favor and show John McCain the door!) Unfortunately, Tea Party activists were unsuccessful in Indiana, as longtime establishment Republican, Dan Coats, defeated the principled patriot, John Hostettler…. »

The Associated Press reports from Portland, Maine, that the Republican Party in that state adopted a completely new platform over the weekend…. »
The Fate of a Pagan Nation
Wow. The subject titled article was sent to me by a dear friend, and is 100% true. Wish I’d written it, but am glad someone did, because these things need to be said. It won’t make you feel good; please read it anyway.
The bright side for those of us who are called by His Name… »
The Times We Set Aside
Another National Day of Prayer has come and gone, and left me wondering, as I have many times, why we have set aside one day of prayer for our country, out of the entire year.
Many very important things we have assigned a day to remember, certainly no harm in that. We have even devoted certain… »
Lets Get Up and Go
Resilience as defined by common wisdom “is the ability to work with adversity in such a way that one comes through it unharmed or even better for the experience. Resilience means facing life’s difficulties with courage and patience – refusing to give up. It is the quality of character that allows a person or group… »
