Funny thing about grief, it never really goes away. It will recede and the background noise of daily living will make it imperceptible most of the time, and you do learn to laugh, to be happy, and to feel the joy of life again. But then something happens, and grief comes storming back to remind…

I was browsing a used bookstore the other day and came across a book titled Philosophy 100 Essential Thinkers. I scanned the table of contents and saw that Ayn Rand was not listed among them. I found this odd since she has had, and is having, a great deal of influence on many of the…

I’ve been rereading Victor Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning. It is an excellent book. After I had been reading it for a while, I was also watching Dr David Wood’s YouTube video on George Orwell’s 1940 review of Mein Kompf. What I found interesting was in last section where Orwell said, “human beings don’t only want…

It is often asked “Where is God’s justice?” We look to God to right every wrong and to prevent every hardship. We fail to recall that God placed us to have dominion over the world and from that power He expects us to dispense justice as His representative. If there is a lack of justice,…

Many like to think they have courage, but really don’t. Because courage is not the normal state. Courage requires soul searching and preparation of the body, the heart and the mind. People like to point to soldiers and first responders many acts of courage, but you must realize they have years of training and every…

There is a story – the truth of which is questionable – about Schrödinger. It claims that his doctoral dissertation was so advanced and revolutionary that none of the evaluation committee could understand it. So, they asked Einstein to review it and give his opinion. He came back and said, “It’s very interesting and is…

Let’s reflect on how God is all knowing. I’ve heard some very erudite Christians quote Isaiah 1:18 “Come now, and let us reason together,” as proof of God’s has some limitation in viewing the future. They usually go on to explain His method of presenting the future to the prophets in one of two ways.…

As you look at Bambie Ray Robinson and see that she made herself into Bambie Thug a self-proclaimed queer witch you find yourself amazed that someone would willingly fall so far. Yes, this make over did allow her to be Ireland’s entry in the latest Eurovision but at what cost? I would say her soul…

There has been a series of characters in popular movies and television that can be seen as archetypes. Andrea “Andy” Sachs in the Devil Wears Prada, Susan “Rita” White in Educating Rita, and Diane Chambers in Cheers to name a few. These characters are striving to be, or even claiming to be, intellectuals. And in…

In a previous post I talked about some movies that would on the surface seem truly horrible. These are movies with a hard R rating that have a lot of sex, violence, and vulgarity. However, when you consider them more objectively, they show to have some really Christian themes. Conversely there are some that appear…

It is very easy to feel pessimistic about the nature of the world, especially if you’re a Christian. We don’t need to go into the lengthy list of things such as pedophilia grooming, wokeism and all the hundreds of things point to social and civilization collapse. But now there are some things that are giving…

I was perusing YouTube when I came across John Anderson interviewing Louise Perry. For those who don’t know her, she is (along with Mary Harrington) a feminist who feels that feminism needs to rethink the sexual revolution and modern feminist views on motherhood and marriage. You can hear more from both these women on John…
