“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…

Until just a couple of hours ago, there were two of us alpha pack leaders nearby. One was genuine. The other, an impostor. Only one of is left, and it is not the impostor. About 1:30 this morning, as I was sipping on my first cup of coffee, I was startled at a terrific explosion…

I am always thinking about things. No doubt, you are, too. I am thinking about my mother-in-law, Mildred Pearl Haile Black, whom we buried on Saturday, December 5. She would have been 91 in just a few weeks. She had been running on low boiler pressure for some time now, and eventually vented her remaining…
He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly. Proverbs 14:29 Lately, world events have the wrath level cranked up to new levels: some indignant over events, others indignant over reponses to the events, and even more seemingly indignant over issues peripheral to events, as…
A full seven years ago now that October has passed, I was sitting in Hemosapien‘s office, apprehensive, fearful, and more than a bit disbelieving that it was actually me as a patient waiting for a consultation with an oncologist.
