I recently was listening to some talks in which “CRU” kept being referred to–as though one should know the reference. A small amount of Googling revealed that CRU is the new name for Campus Crusade For Christ, and Wikipedia answered my secondary question of why/when did this take place: “In 2011, Campus Crusade for Christ changed its name to Cru. The name change was intended to avoid association with the word “crusade”, which can lead to offense, especially in Muslim countries....

Reading, Writing, Arithmetic, MENTAL ILLNESS I highly recommend anyone with children, grandchildren or anyone who cares about children to listen to this. You don’t know what you don’t know–and I am inviting you to learn more about the true situation we are now facing. I am only halfway through this talk today, but it is definitely worth sharing. And that’s about all I have to say about the nature and movement of this horrifying indoctrination/sexual abuse and endangerment that is...

In 1971, political-leaning John Lennon wrote a song that has a terribly beautiful feel and melody, and that has since moved people (musically and/or ideologically) of many spiritual/political leanings, seemingly transcending the actual linguistics of his imagined world. “Imagine there’s no heavenIt’s easy if you tryNo hell below usAbove us, only skyImagine all the peopleLivin’ for todayAhImagine there’s no countriesIt isn’t hard to doNothing to kill or die forAnd no religion, tooImagine all the peopleLivin’ life in peaceYouYou may say...

I just read the latest article in my inbox from my substack article subscription to Parents with Inconvenient Truths about Trans (PITT) and it seems like another worthy of passing along, with hopefully just a few limited comments I have about the matter. The article is written by a therapist and is titled A Letter to Parents from A Concerned Therapist. I formed my blog piece title here as a spin-off, subtopic that this piece generated in my own thinking...

Both a grandfather and a great-grandfather of mine were pretty much contemporary colleagues of sorts– school teachers in the early 1900’s.

I do not know what ages or any details, but a family member said he also had a side hustle selling cut timber. My mother’s father, John Curry Linger, was a school teacher in Buckhannon, West Virginia. He also managed a family homestead and it is reported...

When I remember back on various kind, insightful and helpful teachers in my village from kindergarten through my senior year of high school, there are several that I will especially never forget. It think of Mrs. Morton–a third grade teacher but not my homeroom teacher–that when I was in 4th grade learning to crochet and had brought a blanket I was trying to make as a Christmas gift for my Daddy from scraps of yarn a neighbor gave me and...

Eileen Slifer

I am a visual artist who works in a variety of mediums - producing fine art, illustration and design commissions/products for clients. I have been creating since childhood and sharing my giftings for hire since 1989. I also love to write and have been expressing in this way for a number of years in private poems, stories and journals that have been shared with treasured friends or publicly. Thank you for visiting my blog. I value the time and interest you spend on my expressions, and I read every comment.
