Beyond The Screwtape Letters: The “Cabal” of Satanic Activity in the Natural Realm

January 30, 2024
/
Religion, Politics and Current Events, Writings

To be honest, I was never a huge fan of CS Lewis’ Screwtape Letters. In college, I heard of the work and possibly read through it in full. Certainly, introducing conceptual scenarios of how demonic activity works in the material, tangible realm is intriguing and even needed, to prompt consideration of possibilities. But there was something about the work (a type of biblical fiction) that was so specific and defined that the gist of it left me second-guessing myself as...

But, the Kids Feel ‘Safer’ With That Flag

Book, Media and Movie Commentaries, Linguistics and Language Series, Religion, Politics and Current Events, Writings

It’s almost 5:30 pm here on another mad Monday…with a lot going on. I pause to share this talk that I’ve eleven minutes into while doing dishes (after making two quiches, a blackberry pie and ham soup for my next several days). In between a multitude of other tasks. This is going to be an interesting discussion and many, like me, may have time (or make time) to listen to worthy conversations while driving, washing dishes and perhaps even working...

“DEATH.” PART 2: Crossing the Jordan, Death Wrestling, Death Doulas

Religion, Politics and Current Events, Writings, Writings on Violence in its Various Forms

“DEATH.” PART 2: Crossing the Jordan, Death Wrestling, “Death Doulas“ I believe that all religions/spiritual views distill down to two main themes: Life and Death. True Christianity is set apart as unique in its handling of basic premises and tenets of the faith. I am going to (somewhat) randomly present three scriptures that come to mind concerning these life and death themes–one from the Old Testament, one from the New Testament and one from the Gospels. __________ The Offer of...

“DEATH.” PART 1: Cancer

May 3, 2023

Religion, Politics and Current Events, Writings, Writings on Violence in its Various Forms

There is no disease more generally dreaded than the one beginning with “C.” I am not speaking of “Covid” but I am speaking of “Cancer.” As there are several intersecting thoughts I want to talk about in this series, I am going to create sections. And allow the reader’s own neural pathways to pull these seemingly disparate parts together as they rightfully intersect. I anticipate this series will have at least five parts, and at some point when I finish,...

“‘Groupie’ Strep!” and “We’re Just Trying to Do Our Job, Candace”

March 30, 2023

Covid Pandemic Issues, Information and Ethics, Religion, Politics and Current Events, Women's, Family, and Recovery Issues, Writings

Preface: I have a story about “Groupie Strep” (GROUP B STREP) I want to tell before I get to my main points and commentary here! When I gave birth to my second son in January, 1994 I had two major complications. The first was pre-eclampsia.1 But, it didn’t stop there. After being induced, giving birth and kept a couple additional days in the hospital, I returned home on a Thursday after a Monday delivery. By Friday evening I was experiencing...

The Religious Architecture of Critical Race Theory

February 18, 2023
/
Religion, Politics and Current Events, Writings

For some, this post may not be popular and may be met with a knee-jerk reaction to the title. I ask those who are concerned with both justice (of all sorts) and truth to bear with me. I also ask that those with such interests even go the extra mile–if you are one to listen to podcasts and especially those that might challenge one’s current understandings–and listen to this one. I always find Benjamin Boyce’s various interviews quite interesting. This...

That Was Really Messed Up: “Lost Ollie” Review

Book, Media and Movie Commentaries, Religion, Politics and Current Events, Writings, Writings on Violence in its Various Forms

Once upon a time there was a thing many families tried to implement. The idea was pretty simple. It was called “Family Night.” Often on a Saturday night, those with young children would plan an evening that loosely resembled some version of the following: In retrospect, I must wonder if some of the movies my family watched together ultimately had some harmful effects. However, all-in-all, this is how I remembered things and in general, it was a good time of...

When All You Think About is Who Has Power: Deconstructionism and Intellectual Sleight-of-Hand

December 26, 2022
/
Religion, Politics and Current Events, Women's, Family, and Recovery Issues, Writings on Violence in its Various Forms

I am listening to a very good podcast and need to pass it along for those who share in the pursuit of truth, morality, faith, justice and a host of other things from a vantage point that embraces both the individual (in the best sense) and objective truth and is not grounded in destructive ideology that feigns moral and intellectual integrity. I am beginning to lament various amounts of my gravitation toward some of the popular, influential deconstructionist voices that...

On Election Day, We Speak Their NAMES

November 8, 2022
/
Religion, Politics and Current Events, Writings

Have you ever found yourself speaking out loud on occasion, speaking into an empty room? Or mumbling aloud under your breath? Those that live alone, I’m sure, are likely more prone to this freedom of speech, and a variety of freedom of thought and sound… “Where are my keys?“ “Jesus.“ “What was I doing again…why did I come in here???” Today, many people will arrive at some polling place to speak names through marking a ballot. They will speak forth...

Claiming Gender in an Obliterated Category

Religion, Politics and Current Events, Writings on Violence in its Various Forms

I came across the video (featured at the end) tonight in my YouTube feed and feel it is worthy to pass on for consideration. First, I am appalled that a forty-five-year-old man on TikTok is influencing young people, many who may not yet be of consenting age, into paths of such self-devastation and self-destruction. In my generation, prior to the internet, if a man like this drove an ice cream truck through a neighborhood, parents would keep their children inside,...
