Cream Comes to the Top at the Masters’ First Round

Last updated on: April 11, 2019 at 11:52 pm By Kermit Zarley

The Masters was off to a great start today for the fans, with so many of the best pros in the world in the hunt. Muscleman Brooks Koepka and unorthdox swinger Bryson de Chambeau each shot six-under par 66 to take the lead. Forty-eight year old crowd favorite, and one of the greatest players of all time, Lefty Phil Mickelson shot 67. Western movie star looking Dustin Johnson is at 68. A huge number are tied at 70, with 14-times... Read more

[For an explanation of these 18 posts, see Part 1 published on 3/27/2019.] Illegal Immigration on the U.S.-Mexico Border I live in the arid Sonora Desert of the State of Arizona in the southwestern USA. Arizona is one of four states on the U.S.-Mexico border, which stretches nearly 2,000 miles. The other three states are California, New Mexico, and Texas. For nearly forty years, I lived in Texas. From the Gulf of Mexico this U.S.-Mexico border extends west to the... Read more

Black Holes Are Visible

Last updated on: April 11, 2019 at 1:12 pm By Kermit Zarley

The longer I live the more amazed I get about how great Almighty God is. It’s because of what scientists are discovering about our universe and how it works. I believe the God of the Bible is the one who created it. The psalmist King David was right–“The heavens declare the glory of God” (Psalm 19.1 NIV). This is a historic day in astronomy. A team of more than 200 scientists revealed a colorful image of a black hole–well... Read more

[For an explanation of these 18 posts, see Part 1 published on 3/27/2019.] Restoring Ancient Walls Around Cities and Towns Part of Ireland declared some time ago that its still-standing medieval walls were treasures from the past that should be preserved. So, in April 2005, Ireland’s Heritage Council created the Irish Walled Town Network (IWTN). Its purpose has been to create a network of Irish cities and towns that are committed to preserving their past, especially their old walls surrounding... Read more

[For an explanation of these 18 posts, see Part 1 published on 3/27/2019.] Illegal Immigration in Eastern Europe During the Cold War, some Eastern European countries had border fences or walls. The Communists of East Germany erected the Berlin Wall that divided the city of Berlin in Germany from 1961 to 1989. It didn’t totally prevent crossings in Berlin from East Germany into West Germany by those seeking to escape Communism. But many of those who tried to escape were... Read more

Following WWII, Korea endured a civil war in 1950-1953 that included the U.S. This Korean War resulted in the formation of... Read more

Does God Literally Sit on a Throne in Heaven?

Last updated on: April 7, 2019 at 8:13 pm By Kermit Zarley

I am a former Trinitarian. I now believe there is only one true God, whom Jesus called “the Father.” Therefore, I no longer believe Jesus is God, as Trinitarians believe and as I formerly believed. But, like nearly all Christians, I believed that mostly because that is what I was taught. Also, there are some differences in critical New Testament texts in major English Bible translations. That is, in these texts in some of these translations, they say Jesus is... Read more

Monday Qualifier Conners Wins Valero Open

Last updated on: April 7, 2019 at 11:49 pm By Kermit Zarley

It is so difficult for a Monday qualifier on the PGA Tour to win a tournament. It has only happened five times in the past forty years or more. It happened today. Canadian Corey Conners qualified Monday to get in the Valero Open in San Antonio, Texas. Then he won the tournament today at TPC San Antonio by shooting a six-under par 66 for a 266 total to defeat veteran Charley Hoffman by two strokes. It was Conners’ first PGA... Read more

Just Call It “Trump Roast” And Get On with It

Last updated on: January 28, 2021 at 11:52 pm By Kermit Zarley

For the third year, President Donald Trump revealed Friday that he will not attend the annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner. Why should he since he thinks the press is “Fake News” and “the enemy of the people.” This black tie event is about joking around and just having fun. Trump doesn’t exactly fit in to that no matter what he says. Being a classic narcissist, in my opinion, he’s the opposite of being self-deprecating. The president seemed to indicate he... Read more

It was because this extremist, Islamic group had largely controlled Afghanistan and allowed al-Qaida to be headquartered there to train its militant insurgents. Although the U.S. succeeded in ending the Taliban’s rule of Afghanistan, it did not then achieve its main purpose of capturing and/or... Read more
