Small town. Spartans. Tigers. Pistons. Lions. Hendrix. Fenders. Family. Fragile X Syndrome Kids. Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Not necessarily in that order.
In John 17, Jesus prays that all who believe will so deeply united that it compels others to believe.
Man made unity is created by force and fear; bullying, shouting and cruelty.
Divine unity happens thru prayer and personal conversion only.
There is no other way.
Unity will continue to elude The Body of Christ as long as we talk more than we pray and as long as we focus our mental, emotional & spiritual energy on changing others.
Serve others, change yourself.
Pray for unity.

My father grew up in the segregated South.
He had to walk around to the BACK of a restaurant just to order a sandwich because he was black.
THAT was Jim Crow.
Not showing a photo ID to vote.
You need an ID to:
• Board a plane
• Cash a check
• Buy alcohol
• Enter federal buildings
But suddenly showing an ID to vote is “racist”?
Give me a break.
This is not civil rights.
This is political theater.
The Democrat Party survives by manufacturing grievance because they have nothing else to run on.
Comparing voter ID laws to segregation is not just dishonest, it is insulting to the people who actually lived through Jim Crow.
Asking Americans to prove they are who they say they are when they cast their vote is called common sense.
Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn’t comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America.
People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate.
A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him.
Enough is enough. It is time for ABC to take a stand. How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community.
Peak Male performance looks like Venerable Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen.
He absolutely dominated the television ratings, pulling in an astonishing 30 million viewers every single week.
He completely crushed the biggest secular comedians of the era to win an Emmy Award.
He delivered one of the most unfathomably based acceptance speeches in television history by standing on live TV and thanking his four writers: "Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John."
He completely refused to water down the Faith to make it palatable. He fiercely dismantled communism, unapologetically defended the Catholic Church, and led countless atheists and Hollywood elites straight to conversion. And now, the Vatican has officially confirmed his beatification will take place in September 2026.
We desperately need this kind of unshakeable, bold conviction today. Archbishop Fulton Sheen, pray for us!
I wasn’t happy when Clinton, Obama or Biden won, but I didn’t call them fascist/dangerous/threat to democracy. I didn’t hope someone would assassinate them. I went on with my life with gratitude. Friends on the left, please try this. Your life and our country will be better.

I'm old enough to remember that whenever a non-Leftist appeared on camera at this time his purpose was usually to get steamrolled, to be embarrassing, to look pathetic, to confirm progressive framing, and so on. It was wild to see a man who had something else in mind.
On day 1 of my high school history class, our professor got up and said
You are 15 or 16 years old. 200 years ago people your age were married, planted crops, had children, and built a cabin by winter. You can do your homework. The bar set for you historically is embarrassingly low. You are not dealing with regional famine or plague. You do not have to save your family from marauders or go into battle to destroy your enemies. You have to sit down and learn from someone who cares about you in a safe, air-conditioned room. You have no excuses.
Thomas Sowell on engineers vs intellectuals:
“The engineer is judged by the end product: if he builds a building that collapses, he’s ruined.”
“Conversely, if an intellectual who is brilliant has an idea for rearranging society and it ends in disaster, he pays no price at all.”
@PaulMayne6 Fun fact: Virgil was the uncle of Butch Trucks, drummer for the Allman Brothers Band and the great uncle of Derek Trucks, guitarist extraordinaire.
