Devotional 1/6/16: John Adams Gives a Qualified Blessing
The war on the religious convictions of the founding fathers seems to rage on and on. It kind of sickens me. It sickens me because atheists want to claim all of the founding fathers (including Washington) for themselves and so do fundamentalists. Granted, anyone can point to quotes which will support

Devotional 12/30: Thank You!
Wow, hard to believe that it has been one year. In order to close out the year, I want to thank several people who have been instrumental in getting us this far. First, of course, I want to thank God. I am thankful that as long as we put the

Devotional 18th: Red Cups, Hobbies, Chicken Sandwiches, and Other Battles
There has been a lot of things in the past several years to get men of Judeo-Christian values upset. I am not making light of ANY of them. God bless America and you have the right to be upset. One might even say if you are not upset then you

On Monopolies of Reason and Love
Many atheists think that they are the modern-day priests of reason and science. They think in any argument regarding religious issues, they are always on the side of reason and science and wholly untainted by any faith or fuzzy logic. Also, many people of belief see themselves as the sole

Devotional Nov. 4th: HOPE and SELL are Four-Lettered Words
You may have noticed from my other devotional/blogs that I tend to hammer salespeople. That is mainly because I have a lot of experience in sales, especially phone sales, inside sales, and telemarketing. Let me tell you, there is a lot of pressure in sales to make your numbers. You

Devotional October 28: The Horror…The Horror…
Growing up, I was always in denial about horror movies. I loved to hate them! But then when I got older and I got into writing and acting I discovered something big, horror movies are F-U-N! You see, no matter how scary they are on the screen, everyone behind the

Devotional September 7: Cosmik Debris and Wasting Time
Several weeks ago, I went to see Dweezil Zappa at his Zappa Plays Zappa show. I actually had never heard any of Frank Zappa’s music before. And there were some songs I liked but most of them were just, “okay”. Certainly Dweezil is a very very talented guitar player. Though

Devotional September 22nd: See Me, Feel Me. Touch Me, Heal Me.
You may recognize the line above from the film, Tommy by the Who. You may also assume that this is another attempt to put a movie or something into my devotional/blog. However, I have never seen the movie, Tommy. I am familiar with the quasi-religious theme of it, though. This

Devotional 9/15: Reflections on an American Rebel, Kim Davis
I realized that the media has buried the story (now that she was released from jail) but Kim Davis’ story was really significant to me. You are familiar with the story, right? If not, you can read all about it here. I know it was significant for a lot of

Devotional Sept. 9th: I am Mad as Hell and I Won’t Take it Anymore!
(Alternate Title: WHERE THE %$!%#@ ARE MY KEYS?????) We are typing along and something happens and we lose a lot of work. We are driving along and realize that we forgot something back at home. We do not read an email closely enough about a cancellation, a postponement, something like
