It is soft and quiet at my house this Christmas Eve. I found myself grateful today for this day, this Christmas Eve and for tomorrow, Christmas Day. Despite all the crappy news and usual human messiness, this is the one moment in the West where we try to be good to one another and for […]

Happy Thanksgiving to every one of my readers, to all the friends I have made in this marvelous virtual world. I began this blog December of 2012 and, impossibly, we are coming up on the second anniversary. At this moment, there are 530 followers who want to know when I have written something. I thank […]
Maybe it’s the S’ again, serendipity or synthesis, but after watching “God is (Not) Dead” for the second time, I came back to cable TV and “Cold Case.” About as different as night and day, wouldn’t you say? Grin. This song played at the end of the show and I heard the song as if […]
I enjoyed this film, God is (NOT) Dead. Awhile back I wrote a post mentioning this film and two others dealing with God in one way or another. I finally got around to watching this one.

We’re reving up for the 4th of July, the U.S.A.’s Independence Day. Went to see the movie, “America.” The tag description is “What would the world be like without America?” I knew nothing about the film other than that tagline. It presents the two images of America: Oppressor or Liberator. Still thinking about it, which […]
This is an important weekend for traditionalists. Tomorrow, June 14, is the United States Flag Day. I’ve only missed it once and that was last year. Tomorrow I’ll be out and about by 9:00 a.m. (the reality is I say that, so I’ll leave by 9:15 a.m.). Our little town, Federal Way, Washington always celebrates […]
I’ve been promising to fill in the blanks as to what happened during April and the first few weeks of May that made me such a low profile blogger. Part 1 is here. Part 2 is here. Part 3 is here. April 2014 Continued…: So, exactly what would you do if you suddenly had $22,000 […]
