America has a problem. It started back when the phrase, “The Silent Majority” was used by Richard Nixon. We have become complacent. We, as a people, have become accustomed to living our lives without active participation. We watch events on TV, on the interwebs, and on social media. We comment on them, we talk aboutContinue reading “MEDITATIONS-COMPLACENCY”

MEDITATIONS-CELEBRATE LIFE
Three weeks ago, some monsters broke through a wall near Gaza City and started doing monstrous things, not only to unsuspecting Israelis, but to God-fearing people all over the world. Our mostly peaceful lives were shattered by less-than men, hopped up on Captagon, who thought imposing their hate-filled death cult on defenseless people made themContinue reading “MEDITATIONS-CELEBRATE LIFE”
MEDITATIONS-THEY KILLED BABIES
Unfortunately, I’ll be going dark with this one, right after I own up to a major error. First, this is about the horrors of October 7. Hamas, a terrorist group that runs Gaza City, a Palestinian city on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, launched a complex attack on several towns around the borders toContinue reading “MEDITATIONS-THEY KILLED BABIES”
DAWGS ON A MISSION
I am back up in Milwaukee, assessing some public schools in the Greater Milwaukee Area. Now, anytime I am doing assessments, I put some miles on my feet. This time was no different. By the time I reached Friday of my first week, I had walked over 20 miles that week. My neuropathy keeps meContinue reading “DAWGS ON A MISSION”
MEDITATIONS-9/21/2021
I have come the conclusion that I am a recovering sociopath. Bear with me for a bit, as I will explain. I’ve been watching the series Signs of a Psychopath on Max. They have actual police interrogations of people after being arrested for something heinous. It is definitely NOT for the faint-of-heart! The show includesContinue reading “MEDITATIONS-9/21/2021”
MEDITATIONS-ANOTHER FAREWELL 9/15/23
Robin and I got up early this morning, had our Donut Friar breakfast with coffee, and set out for Clingman’s Dome. The Dome is an hour’s drive away, with the route taking us through the heart of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The Mission? Spread more of my parent’s ashes. All it was goingContinue reading “MEDITATIONS-ANOTHER FAREWELL 9/15/23”
MEDITATIONS-9/14/23
Robin and I are in Gatlinburg, TN. Her sister and brother-in-law were using a time share with some friends. The friends had to leave early, and her sister asked if we wanted to finish out the week. We said, “Yes!” so last night we drove the six hours down from Indianapolis, and here we are!Continue reading “MEDITATIONS-9/14/23”
Meditations-9/11/23
I woke up today and thought to myself, “Man! 22 years!” The common refrain is, “Never Forget,” but the further we get from September 11, 2001, the greater the number of people who were not alive when this happened. My fear is that there are people who are in the process of not only forgettingContinue reading “Meditations-9/11/23”
MEDITATIONS-9/5/2023
My Labor Day weekend was rather relaxed. This is adult-speak for “I didn’t do anything productive.” Part of that was due to some type of issue I had on Saturday. I had received numerous mosquito bites on both knees, my left elbow, and my hands, as well as assorted bites elsewhere. The area of multipleContinue reading “MEDITATIONS-9/5/2023”
HOMESPUN WISDOM
Paw came to my mind today. Truth be told, he’s on my mind a lot since he passed at the end of 2018. But today something happened that really brought him back to me. Paw was a guy who really liked to let people think he wasn’t as smart as he was. He was aContinue reading “HOMESPUN WISDOM”
