Crazy Times!

CRAZY TIMES! I think I would like to go back in time, to several different seasons, and see if it was clearly as nutso as it is now. Crazy times we live! It wouldn’t be obvious ones, like World War I or its sequel, II. That was pretty clear I wager. …an entire generation…. The sixties were pretty interesting. It was the first time, an entire generation, or parts of that generation, stood up and said ‘I think... Read more

Fathers Day

FATHERS DAY Being today is Fathers Day and the timing of things in this world is never random, I saw a great post on Facebook about a week before Mothers Day of some women I know who were standing among other younger women—some holding babies. The post was talking about ‘here is to strong women, may we know them, may we be them, may we raise them.’ …about mothers…. I used it to write about mothers after it... Read more

OKAY, IT’S YOUR TURN Okay, so a week from today is Father’s Day. It is to celebrate our dads because last month we celebrated our mums and now its dad’s turn. But for a chunk of families, there is no dad. He left. Maybe it is you. Maybe the guy next to you, or down the street. I’m not the father type… Maybe you found yourself saying you didn’t want to ‘be tied down,’ or ‘wasn’t the father type,’... Read more

REMEMBER Remember this Memorial Day weekend, you have heard me rant before, is not a day to buy towels on sale. These couple of days are not mattress sale days, it is not even a barbeque day although I can justify that better than mattresses. It is a sad weekend about what we have lost. It is about places. This weekend is about places. Some, places we know—Concord, Vicksburg, The Somme, Bastogne, Chosin, Khe Sahn, Fallujah, Kandahar... Read more

Mothers, Daughters, Sisters, Women

MOTHERS, DAUGHTERS, SISTERS, WOMEN Last weekend was Mother’s Day. Christians have this whole debate thing about wives, submit to your husbands…right after it tells men to love their wives. I think that little part of the Bible has been one of the worst exploited pieces of truth ever spoken by Man. Truly, we as men, are terrible with that phrase when talking about Mothers, daughters, sisters. Just even women in general. We use it-some of us, I don’t want to... Read more
