This Old Ragged Flag by Johnny Cash
This is not an attempt to equate the Lord with America. America needs the Lord, not the other way around. It has always been this publication’s goal to help people to remember that. Ronald Reagan knew that when he said: “I believe with all my heart that standing up for
The Call to Adventure
I have recently found a Samuel L. Jackson meme that actually made me laugh. It was a meme from Pulp Fiction regarding the, “Mmm-mh now thats a tasty beverage” line from the movie. For some reason, it made me think about another thing that Jules said. He told his partner,
Bullies
I know a lot about bullies. I have had to contend with them all my life. When I was a kid there were two different kids at one bus-stop who regularly picked on me. In Boy Scouts there were bullies. There was one guy named Forest (I would have called
Heroes
A Prayer for Owen Meaney (1990) by John Irving is one of the best books ever written, as per my humble opinion. I read it many, many years ago and it still sticks with me. On the dedication page, Mr. Irving included two quotes that have made a large difference

The Devil You Know…
A few weeks ago, I was fortunate to attend a seminar on decision-making and human behavior. The presenter discussed how when it comes to making decisions, we humans do not know what we are doing! He said we have limited attention spans and we use rules of thumb and herding (the
