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…
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.

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. The universe was apparently mistaken, as this could not possibly be right. Cancer was something that…
Thanks, Ralph Nader, for the headline. There is no end to the conflicting studies about the food we eat. We are constantly warned about the dangers of fast food, as if to imply slower foods are safer. But it seems nothing is safe for consumption anymore. If it is perchance less unsafe, there are environmental…
