Making America Great
Politicians from President Eisenhower to President Ronald Reagan, including President Bill Clinton, and Secretary Hillary Clinton often quote or refer to a statement purportedly made by Alexis De Tocqueville. However, the quote is not in any of his publicized works. The quote even made in into President-elect Trump's campaign slogan. This alleged quote states, "I sought for … Continue reading Making America Great
Rigged!

It always plays out in just the right way. They determined … Continue reading Rigged!

The part of the workshop specifically for … Continue reading That was Close
What Happened to Peace
This post is cathartic. Who am I kidding? Much of what I write is to help me think through and work through my emotions and to improve my walk with God. Sometimes, life hits hard. My brother's diagnosis of cancer and his passing last week are a major blow. I know he has relief from … Continue reading What Happened to Peace
Alone, Lonely, or Choice
I met him one fall day. I sat watching him more than the game on the field. He came in alone with two soft drinks and two small popcorns.
