Beam Me Up, Newt created January 28, 2012
You've gotta give it to Newt Gingrich--he does know how to cause a stir. Most likely, even after a long 2012 campaign, his idea of a moon colony will be the one proposal that is remembered most. Now I want to be clear--I'm not bashing Newt, nor am I belittling the spac...A Fine City This Must Be created January 22, 2012
Regional accents have always fascinated me. Being able to pinpoint where someone is from just by listening is a skill that takes a lot of travel and many years. Even from the same state, accents can vary greatly. I can usually get it right over ninety percent of the...The Pretty War created January 15, 2012
I'm pretty sure that by now you have heard about the Marines who were video-taped taking a whiz on dead Taliban fighters in Afghanistan.

There are no doubt a great number of opinions out there about the current Presidential race, and more specifically the race for the GOP nomination.

What is a promise? Rather, why is it so important to us? As children we learn very quickly the value of a kept promise or the hurt that a broken promise can inflict for life. A couple that my wife and I knew had their marriage end in a rather ugly divorce. The thing I...A Great Time created November 13, 2011
My wife and I had the honor of sharing the afternoon with some great patriots at the Baxter County Fairgrounds in Mountain Home, Arkansas, at the Prayer for America event today. It is always good to be with people who care so deeply about their country and the direction...Greater Love created November 11, 2011
I'd like to wish every veteran a Happy Veteran's Day. My family and I are grateful for your service. When I was putting my thoughts together for this column, I had to ask myself, "What makes someone leave their family and everything that they've ever known, to go...This Do in Remembrance of Me created October 30, 2011
Tonight was a special night with my church family. We observed the church ordinance of the Lord's Supper. From a very early age, I can remember this special time in my spiritual journey. Most Baptist churches observe this ordinance every two or three months and make...
