Christine Blasey Ford’s Accusations Need To Be Proven

Last updated on: September 24, 2018 at 4:59 am By Brenda Renee Coats

If there’s anything I’ve learned about relationships, it’s that there’s always two sides to a story. The relationship, whatever it may have been, between Kavanaugh and Ford is no exception. She claims he sexually assaulted her. He claims he didn’t. What is unnerving is that that’s as far as the facts go, thus far. Christine Blasey Ford cannot remember the date, the time, or the place of the alleged sexual assault. But in going public with the accusation, she... Read more

Abortion: Not So Different From The Holocaust

Last updated on: September 19, 2018 at 12:27 am By Brenda Renee Coats

I just finished reading The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, by John Boyne. I saw the movie a few years back, which I now know stays very true to the book. I’d highly recommend both to you. Not because I love the story, but because everyone needs to be reminded from time to time that we as a human race are capable of doing the worst possible injustices to man, woman, and child. The boy in the striped pajamas is... Read more

Between Florence and Trump, We’re Probably All Going To Die

Last updated on: November 7, 2018 at 9:34 pm By Brenda Renee Coats

Florence. That sounds like the name of someone’s Grandma, not an impending, potentially destructive hurricane. Wait, Florence actually is the name of a Grandma. My Great Grandma, to be exact. Very kind lady, she was. Funny, too, without even trying to be. She’d do silly things like take her false teeth out in church and lay them in her lap. Or take her shoes off and set them under the pew in front of her, revealing to all in her... Read more

Seventeen Years Post 9/11, America Remains Afraid to Offend

Last updated on: September 11, 2018 at 11:29 pm By Brenda Renee Coats

Like most Americans, I recall exactly where I was on September 11, 2001. I had just gotten out of bed, and the doorbell rang. When I answered, I found my neighbor on the doorstep, asking if I had seen the news. “No,” I said. “What’s up?” “Just turn it on,” he said. “You’ll find out.” And with that, he was gone. I switched on the television to see the airplane crash into the first tower. Like everyone else, I... Read more

Colin Kaepernick Should Write A Book

Last updated on: September 7, 2018 at 12:31 am By Brenda Renee Coats

Have you seen the new Nike commercial with Colin Kaepernick? I didn’t think it was horrible, for what it was. However, I confess to being unclear on what it was, exactly, other than Nike’s ploy to make millions of dollars. I mean, it’s not hard to figure out that Nike is trying to capitalize on the Kaepernick saga. What’s hard to figure out is what Colin Kaepernick is trying to accomplish. His mission has always been fuzzy. What people... Read more

My Peculiar Calling

Last updated on: August 30, 2018 at 11:51 pm By Brenda Renee Coats

When Shaun and I were newly engaged, we were visiting his Aunt and Uncle’s house. His Uncle was a high school counselor, and so, as we sat around chatting, he took the liberty to ask me whether I had any plans to attend college once I had finished high school. Without hesitation, I said, “Nope.” “Not even a little bit interested, huh?” “Not really.” I smiled and he smiled and said, “Okay, then.” A little expansion on the “nope”... Read more

Reading to Cultivate A Thankful Heart

Last updated on: August 28, 2018 at 10:00 pm By Brenda Renee Coats

Our Pastor makes it a point to read about Christian martyrs of the past and present. Partly because Christians are to pray for the persecuted, and partly to orient his own heart toward thanksgiving. I admit it is difficult for me to read about martyrs. I remember seeing the book Tortured for Christ on my Grandpa’s bookshelf as a young girl. On the front cover was a bony hand and wrist, with an iron chain strapped around the wrist,... Read more

What We Should Be Asking About Colorado Killer Christopher Watts

Last updated on: August 22, 2018 at 12:52 am By Brenda Renee Coats

Last week, Christopher Watts allegedly killed his wife, two daughters, and unborn son in Frederick, Colorado. First they “disappeared”, and Chris went on camera saying he didn’t know where they were, and many other lies that sent chills down the spines of listeners. A few days after they were reported missing, Christopher then confessed to the killings. People often wonder what goes on in the mind of a father and husband who would commit such heinous crimes. They wonder who... Read more

God’s Plans to Prosper Us

Last updated on: August 14, 2018 at 11:13 pm By Brenda Renee Coats

The day my son got in an accident, we planted a corn “field.” What I mean by “field” is five corn stalks to a row, three rows total. Not long after the accident, when the man cub was still in the hospital, the corn began to spring up, but then a hail storm came and appeared to wipe it all out. Who cares?! I know that’s what you’re asking. But our eldest grandchild planted the corn with his Poppy,... Read more

Law vs. Love

Last updated on: August 7, 2018 at 11:22 pm By Brenda Renee Coats

It’s a long story as to how I came to watch two episodes of The Waltons last night, but I did. I’ve never been much of a Walton watcher. As far as older shows go, I was always more of an Andy Griffith, Little House on The Prairie, and Bonanza type girl. But anyway, first I watched an episode entitled “The Typewriter.” Thought it might have something to do with writing, and I was right. John Boy was trying... Read more
