School Resource Officers: The Bullies in Blue

Last updated on: March 16, 2021 at 12:27 am By Jeff Hood

School Resource Officers: The Bullies in Blue “Few greater dangers face our children today than the police we’re putting in their schools…” “I’m here to keep you safe…” Strange smells started coming out of the vents. Lights began to flash. Everyone ran to the exits. Sounds bombarded our ears. The evacuation was anything but orderly. Nobody could breath. Before the day was out, dozens of students received emergency treatment…some of them (especially those with compromised lungs/immune systems in... Read more

When a Trailer Park Kid Freezes to Death.

Last updated on: March 3, 2021 at 12:20 am By Jeff Hood

March 3, 2021 When a Trailer Park Kid Freezes to Death. *His funeral was just a few days ago… Growing up, I was taught to see trailer parks as the epicenter of trash. While I don’t remember exactly who taught me such a thing, I know that I wasn’t born with such an idea…therefore…I was taught…right? I’m sure that I’m not the only one who grew up in such a way…looking down on those who we assume... Read more

Eschatology: a Forgotten Theology for Our Perilous Time

Last updated on: February 17, 2021 at 12:23 am By Jeff Hood

February 16, 2021 Eschatology: a Forgotten Theology for Our Perilous Time Eschatology (the study of the end) still matters. Matthew 16: 1-3 “The religious leaders wanted a sign. Jesus answered them, “When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is blue.’ And in the morning, ‘It will be stormy today, for the sky is black and threatening.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you fail to interpret the...

February 12, 2021 Missions = Disgusting “How many souls of savages have you won today?” “If you love Jesus…more than anything else…you’ll be more than willing to get your penis chopped off in the jungle so that others might know Christ…” “Missions is not about the people that you’re evangelizing…it is about God’s greater glory.” “You should never let your concern for your own body come between you and someone coming to know Jesus.” ...

February 4, 2021 Congresswoman Majorie Taylor Greene, My Former Sunday School Teacher Earlier today, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green delivered remarks on the floor of congress trying to deflect attention away from all of the crazy shit she has said…before a vote that ultimately stripped her of her committee seats. One section of her speech particularly stood out… I believe in God with all my heart and I’m so grateful to be humbled, to be reminded that I’m a... Read more

The Destination of Nothing

Last updated on: February 1, 2021 at 1:10 am By Jeff Hood

Something reminds me of what I’ve missed… Can the past change the present? Could something be sent to us? Can the present change the past? Could something be sent back? What would happen? Would it change anything? Can anything be changed? We live in a sort of arrogance with regard to these questions. We assume we know and that is all. However, spirituality has never been about knowing. There is more than what was. There is more than... Read more

The Vaccination Ethic.

Last updated on: January 28, 2021 at 11:19 am By Jeff Hood

January 28, 2021 The Vaccination Ethic. In the midst of viral sickness, there is a vaccination ethic… When God comes in all of God’s glory, God will sit upon the highest mountain. All the nations will be gathered below, and God will separate the people one from another. God will put the righteous on one side and the unrighteous on the other. Then God will say to the righteous, “Come, you who are blessed with love; take your inheritance, for I have prepared a... Read more

Nonconsensual Touching in Elementary Schools: aka Hugging

Last updated on: January 26, 2021 at 12:51 am By Jeff Hood

January 25, 2021 Nonconsensual Touching in Elementary Schools: aka Hugging I write to address the proliferation and encouragement of intentional nonconsensual touching that is not legally justified that has become pervasive in elementary schools…hugs. Daily, young children are hugged in hallways and classrooms across the country. While you might consider such activity benign, it is far from it under the examination of consent and common law. Consent is the voluntary, informed and freely given agreement to participate in mutually... Read more

Officer Brian Sicknick Speaks! : Trump/Trumpsters Condemned from the Grave “And we fight. We fight like hell.” The hair on the back of his neck rose up. “And if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore.” Something in him snapped. “Let’s go!!!” He was activated. “Let’s show those bitches whose boss!” Fists in the air, he started to run. “There’s Hawley!” By responding with a raised fist, the Senator assured him that everything...
