Strolling around Wilmington, I see these old telephone poles and I wonder how long they can last? Looks like the city (or county or state) pumps some type of preservative in them – by the looks of some of the holes and plugs in the wood – but I wonder how long it will last […]

Kicked off the wrestling team for “vaping”? Yeah, not raping . . . V-A-P-I-N-G! Pretty dog-gone harsh and down-right cruel to us spectators. Why should we fans be punished for such a simple “offense”? Not to mention screwing over a kid’s wrestling scholarship opportunities. Any discipline for students who blaspheme or disrespect teachers in class? […]

Jayne endured through many-a trial, Aware that she was bought by His blood. She pressed […]

The church was to be ruled by elders Not a pastor, don’t you see? ‘Twas always a better way To avoid, you know, a monarchy. You can see it throughout the scriptures, But it seems people pay them no mind. Rather make it all nice and easy To whine at one, the many, all the […]
