Last updated on: January 2, 2025 at 1:20 pm By Karl J. Forehand

How to Survive a Stroke When I am down and, oh, my soul, so weary When troubles come and my heart burdened be Then I am still and wait here in the silence Until You come and sit awhile with me.

Probing the Paranormal – Part 2

Last updated on: November 18, 2024 at 1:31 pm By Karl J. Forehand

My Recent Discoveries in Ghost Hunting I haven’t ever been that afraid of the spirit world for the most part. Even when I was going through a Halloween haunted house, which can be terrifying, I was more fearful of the humans operating it and if they had any unresolved anger, that they might take out on me. The spirit world for me has always been interesting. My religion warned me to stay away from anything that they had not taken... Read more

Veterans Day and Violence

Last updated on: November 12, 2024 at 1:10 pm By Karl J. Forehand

My brother posts this picture of my grandpa every year around Memorial Day. The baby he is holding is my father whom he saw for the first time while he was home from deployment. Both of them are also named Karl, but I am not the third because I have a middle name, Joseph, after my other grandpa. My grandpa is a good reminder why I love and respect members of the military and this country but still despise violence... Read more

Evolving From Religious Trauma Course – A Plan for Us?

Last updated on: November 7, 2024 at 11:57 am By Karl J. Forehand

Does God really have a plan for us? I used to think so, but then I saw how the sausage was made and I talked to so many people over the span of 20 years who were mostly discouraged and felt shame because they couldn’t find it. As a parent, if I told my children I had a plan for them, their first question would be “What is it??” Evolving From Religious Trauma is a book created by... Read more

What His Co-Workers Say

Last updated on: September 19, 2024 at 10:02 am By Karl J. Forehand

What His Co-Workers Say Probably the only sustainable critique of Kamala Harris is that people feel they don’t know her well. That may be a problem, but it’s also pretty standard, considering that she is the Vice President, and, understandably, she has been a little under the radar in that role. However, the problem with Trump is that we have had at least eight to ten years to get to know him, and, just like the people he has worked... Read more

How I Became a Republican

Last updated on: September 6, 2024 at 8:26 am By Karl J. Forehand

How I Became a Republican In college, I heard a speech from a fellow student about the free market and why we should be Republicans. She talked about a person selling pencils and how the money they earned is circulated in the economy, creating more tax revenue and jobs. With that small amount of information, I was determined to be a Republican and stayed until ten years ago, when I registered as an Independent. Unlike helping the pencil sellers, modern... Read more

Small Towns and Red Counties

Last updated on: September 4, 2024 at 9:28 am By Karl J. Forehand

I have a suspicion that many small town people like myself hold on to things too long. We are loyal to our ideals and we are slow to change. There are good noble reasons for this, but we now find ourselves at a crossroads.My solution to this a few years ago was to change from a Republican to an Independent. I wanted to be able to seriously consider the issues, without the demands of a political party telling me what... Read more

The Mistakes God Made

Last updated on: September 3, 2024 at 7:43 am By Karl J. Forehand

The Mistakes God Made (according to the Biblical narrative) I wouldn’t say I like discussing theology. Still, theologians do; sometimes, they cling to pieces of the narrative that don’t make sense anymore. Theologians love to hold conferences and write books wrestling around with multiple interpretations of Genesis, etc., instead of admitting what is most likely true that it was just a story told by someone whose worldview and experiences were very different than ours. The Bible is more of a... Read more
