D-Day

D-Day

It’s almost June 6th, the anniversary of D-Day. For the last several years on this morning I’ve watched at least the first thirty minutes of the incredible movie, Saving Private Ryan, as my sincere but insufficient act of remembrance. My parents were married in...
Three Short Observations

Three Short Observations

There are many difficult, weighty issues confronting us this Memorial Day Weekend in 2026, but I’m going to begin the summer with three unconnected, much lighter personal observations which won’t take long and which probably won’t mean much to anyone else…but here...
My Attitude Isn’t Helping Anyone

My Attitude Isn’t Helping Anyone

The Spiritual Battle

September 10th has now taken its place with September 11th and December 7th as dates we will always remember, because on those dates our nation was attacked and then tested. The cowardly assassination of Charlie Kirk is, I believe, a watershed moment. I was praying...
