Are Twisties Like the Yips?

Last updated on: July 28, 2021 at 4:15 pm By Kermit Zarley

American GOAT gymnast Simone Biles surprisingly withdrew from the Olympics yesterday, saying she got “a bit of the twisties.” I figured she wasn’t talking about doing the twist dance while listening to Chubby Checker belt out his classic song that turned all us old fogies into twisters in our youth. But I thought she meant she got a stomach ache from eating too many pastries! Not so. She explained that when she came off the vaulting table to do a... Read more

Are Anti-Vaxxer Christians Like What the Bible Says of an Irresponsible Ox Owner

Last updated on: July 28, 2021 at 4:31 pm By Kermit Zarley

Anti- and Non-vaxxer Christians in the U.S. generally are a danger to both the physical health of society and its spiritual health because they are a detriment to the gospel of Jesus Christ . See my previous posts: “Non-Vaxxers Are Selfish” and “Anti-and Non-Vaxxers Threaten Reopenings.” I’m not saying this about people who have serious health issues that could endanger them if they had the shot or MAYBE those few people who have not gotten the shot because the FDA...

Champ Is Champ in Minnesota

Last updated on: July 25, 2021 at 9:46 pm By Kermit Zarley

Cameron Champ, a long-hitting, twenty-six year old, resident of Houston, Texas, my old hometown, won his third PGA Tour tournament today by shooting a five-under par 66 to win the 3M Open in Blaine, Minnesota, at the TPC Twin Cities golf course. Champ won by two strokes with a total of 15-under par 269. Three players finished tied for second: Louis Oosterhuizen, Charl Schwartzel, and Jhonattan Vegas. Cameron needed only a bogey six on the last hole to win. Rather than... Read more

Trump: The Snake Oil Salesman

Last updated on: July 22, 2021 at 8:18 pm By Kermit Zarley

The Oxford English Dictionary defines “snake oil” as “a quack remedy or panacea.” A panacea is a difficulty or a disease. Trump claims to be able to solve the difficulty of an election fraud (except no such difficulty exists) by getting states to recount their ballots. He convinced this Republican state I live in, Arizona, to do just that. The Republican-controlled state legislature decided to have a ballot recount. To make matters worse, they hired an outfit to...

Pelosi Rightly Rejects Jordan for Committee Hearings

Last updated on: July 21, 2021 at 4:04 pm By Kermit Zarley

The hearings of the House select committee to investigate the Capitol riots that happened on January 6th last year–which led to the House’ second impeachment of President Donald Trump due to accusing him of inciting an insurrection that day–are scheduled to begin next Tuesday. Democratic Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi of California, has been in charge of selecting and approving committee members. We need this investigation. The Democrat-controlled House shouldn’t even have had to do this. It’s because the... Read more

Anti- and Non-Vaxxers Threaten Reopenings

Last updated on: July 19, 2021 at 10:44 pm By Kermit Zarley

In recent days and perhaps weeks, Americans who have refused to get vaccinated for COVID-19 have caused this disease to spike in all 50 states, thus causing them or some of their local communities to have to decide to curtail recent efforts to reopen their economies. For example, last week the largest populated county in the U.S., Los Angelos County, reimposed both mask-wearing and social distancing at indoor gatherings. And these new measures are proliferating in other renewed hot spots... Read more

Morikawa Wins The Open

Last updated on: July 20, 2021 at 4:01 pm By Kermit Zarley

Just one hour ago, twenty-four year old Collin Morikawa added the coveted Claret Jug to his collection of now two major trophies. He did it by shooting a four-under par 66 to win The (British) Open golf tournament by two strokes ahead of three-time major winner Jordan Spieth, who also shot a 66. Morikawa’s 15-under par 265 total at the famed Royal St. George layout–located in Sandwich, Kent, England–was also four strokes ahead of Spaniard Jon Rahm and South African Louis... Read more

Oosthuizen Still Leads The Open

Last updated on: July 17, 2021 at 2:20 pm By Kermit Zarley

With one round left to play, South African Louis Oosthuizen has a one shot lead over Collin Morikawa in the British Open at Royal St George’s. “King Loui,” as the tabloids are calling him, had lost the last major golf title last month, the U.S. Open at Torrey Pines near San Diego, to Spaniard Jon Rahm. It was Rahm’s first major title. And both 38-year old Oosthuizen and 24-year old Morikawa have won one major each, Louis the British Open... Read more

What Is the Best Bible?

Last updated on: July 21, 2021 at 11:08 am By Kermit Zarley

People often ask, “What is the best Bible?” There used to be pretty much only one Bible–the famous King James Version (KJV) produced in 1611. The King of England, King James, had commissioned it. When I first began studying the Bible, as a freshman in college, like most of my Christian friends and the church where I attended, I used only the KJV. But beginning in the late 19th century until now, there have been many so-called “modern” translations of... Read more

How Did We Get Our Bible?

Last updated on: July 16, 2021 at 12:50 pm By Kermit Zarley

People often ask this question. They also ask, Which is the best Bible? That’s because there used to be pretty much only one Bible in the English-speaking world–the King James Version (KJV) that was produced in 1611. But since the late 19th century until now, there have been dozens of so-called “modern” English Bible translations, also called “versions.” I’ll speak to this in a followup post tomorrow. When people ask me these questions, I usually explain that all modern versions... Read more
