Introduction
Welcome to my personal blog! Some of you already know me, and some of you don’t. But either way, I urge you to read this (very long) introductory post before you read the regular blog posts. It will lay the groundwork for various topics I’ll be covering, and perhaps prevent some confusion. (Affiliate Disclaimer) I’ve had a chaotic life with…

A Brief History of Tobacco Tobacco is native to the Americas. It was cultivated and used in pipes, as cigars, and as snuff by indigenous peoples for medicinal and ceremonial purposes as early as 6000 BC. In the 1500s, Spanish and Portuguese sailors carried it to Europe, where it became wildly popular. A French diplomat named Jean Nicot presented tobacco…

2026 Shooting at White House Correspondents Dinner
I do not readily accept conspiracy theories, but the social media wires are sizzling with questions about this latest assassination attempt, many asserting it was faked. After years of refusing to attend the White House Correspondents’ Association annual dinner, Trump suddenly makes a big deal that he’s going to go. This does seem like some odd timing. Soon after the…
All the Wrong Places (Updated April 23)
What we learned at school, what we see in movies and television shows, things we read, experiences we have… we all have an idea of where something is supposed to be. For example, mention of a span of ice stretching for hundreds of miles with no human in sight might make us think of the Arctic or Antarctic. But our…

MAGAs Outed Themselves on Easter (Updated April 15)
After I published this post, Trump posted his “Trump as Jesus” meme on Truth Social. I’ve added a section about that below the original post. By now, you’ve seen the above screenshot multiple times on social media. I see a lot of memes with fake Trump posts. I always go to Truth Social to see if he really…

Irreducible complexity: A concept used by proponents of Intelligent Design and Young Earth Creationism (YEC) to argue that complex organisms could not have evolved gradually from more primitive forms, because they need all their interacting parts to function. If you remove one part, the other parts will cease to function. Therefore, the organism could not have started with fewer parts.…

Lost and Found Dog
It happened about 25 or 30 years ago. One day, I heard a scratching at the door. Curious, I went to the door and opened it. An English Setter I had never seen before smiled at me, then happily trotted through the door, went straight to the den, and hopped up on the recliner. Well Hello! Come in and make…

When my mother and I signed up to deliver Meals on Wheels, we told the director we specifically wanted a route where people especially needed extra help. There was a slum neighborhood with run down houses that they had a very hard time finding drivers who would deliver there, because it was so dangerous. Most residents were the working poor,…
The Story of Joseph, Mary and Jesus
So many misconceptions about the Biblical accounts; mis-translations, legends springing up outside of anything found in the Gospels. So little knowledge the average person has of the Jewish culture of that time period during the Roman occupation. We have to start with Mary’s pregnancy. An unwed Jewish girl getting pregnant! The Sanhedrin would have been well within the law to…

The Star of Bethlehem – What Was It?
People have different ideas about Jesus. Some think He never existed at all. Some acknowledge He existed, but believe He was just an ordinary man. Some, like me, know He’s divine, and He still walks among us. What most agree with, is that the letters and scrolls which eventually became the New Testament were written a few decades after the…
