It is Cinco de Mayo, which, for me, has only the significance of being May the 5th. Mexicans are flocking in record numbers to this country, leaving behind one that has harsh laws for those who would emigrate there, and its emigres demand the right to move here and stay here and bring their relatives…
“How are you doing?” I was recently asked by an acquaintance. It is the functional equivalent of saying, “Good morning,” as no one really expects or wants the answer to the question if it’s other than an automatic, “Just fine.” Then, there is the list. My brother is a wonderful man. I treasure our relationship…
We’ve absorbed so much foolishness, it has become part of us. We drip with it. This morning, I read about a reaction of the student government at Emory University after some students reported they had felt threatened after seeing “Donald Trump 2016” written in chalk on some campus sidewalks. The student government was offering free…
Media of any sort is a powerfully curious thing. But this thing called the internet, and its child, social media, is more than curious. It is downright dangerous. I have noticed from observing the stats collected by WordPress for my blog site that I get far more hits when I post my reaction to current…
Hosea 8:7 For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk; the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up. It’s worse than simply the whirlwind. Read it again. It’s not just sowing the wind. Having been sown, the wind…
“God help us if Donald Trump gets elected president!,” said many. “God help us if Hillary Clinton gets elected president!” said many others. “God help us if Bernie Sanders gets elected president!” said yet others. “God help us if Ted Cruz gets elected president!” said yet some others. “God help us if Marco Rubio gets…
We all face struggles. Some are far more severe than others. Our struggles may pale in comparison to the struggles of others, and likely do if we will pause to consider those others and compare their life or death struggles with our own. Nevertheless, our personal struggle sometimes seems insurmountable to us. The hard struggle…
I suppose I have misappropriated culture many times in my life. Being made aware of that does not make me too concerned. There seem to be many other things of far greater importance to worry about, among them: having such a fickle culture that its appropriation by others apparently diminishes one as an individual person.…
I have written about feral hogs before. This is another time. It will likely not be my last. When I was growing up in rural east Mississippi, we never had a problem with wild hogs. There simply weren’t any. But some time along the way, the interlopers crossed over the Father-of-Waters from Arkansas, or across…
I will consistently view every infringement of my second amendment rights as a dangerous affront to my liberty. Of course, I view every infringement of my first, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth amendment rights the same way. You’ll agree with me, pardon me, or detest me, but I will not be…
