Jephthah was the son of a whore. He knew life was so much more And he was real good at war. Gilead was the daddy o’ that boy And let his wife kick the boy right out. He fled from his brothers and went to Tob And found a lot of worthless friends. But when […]

The hope of the resurrection is not a “I hope He picks me” kind of a hope or a “I hope He picks my kids” kind of hope. No. It is a hope of confident anticipation. It is a waiting hope like the people in a church with the groom facing them as they wait […]

Given our proclivity to change wrong to right and vice versa (not only by moody public opinion but SCOTUS decrees, another form of “opinion”), how can we expect the people to maintain a respect for the law and order that is necessary to sustain peace and stability? Consider how our “law code” – our Constitution […]

Those who follow the party of death (by abortion and sodomy; remember the AIDS plague?) go down a road of misery, corruption, and destruction. And yet the Dems support and push both these evils! Wake up to the real issues: truth, right and wrong. Know the truth which is revealed to us in the Truth, […]

2 March, 2021 Repeatedly in recent weeks we have heard reports of criticism by the retired Pope Benedict of Biden about the latter’s misbehavior, viz., Biden’s consistent approval of “abortion rights” (see Lifesite News https://www.lifenews.com/2021/03/01/pope-benedict-criticizes-joe-biden-for-supporting-abortion-hes-in-continuity-with-democrats/ ). This is not encouraging news. Rather, it is a disgusting reminder of the fact that, daily, the Roman Church […]

Tryin’ to get ahead! Runnin’ yourself ’til You’re almost dead. Or maybe you’re justA sittin’ on your butt:Can’t get into that strut, Got work to be done While you’re on the run, Doin’ nothin’ worth while Talkin’ all that guile. Need to fix your style! Get up and pursue What you’re supposed to do. Pick […]

Jovial Jessica Jumps through hoops To make miserable men merry She draws out conversations, Overcomes the frustrationsOf aging and memory failures. Like the ticking of the clocks She drives through the blocks To get where she needs to go, And sometimes they may not show, But onward she goes to her duty. (It may help […]

Jephthah was a whore’s son But for him there was no fun. One day there came a summons. Said, “Come on! We need some help!” He said, “So now you want to yelp!” You shunned me as a whore’s son But now you want a portion Of my might to set you right! You hate […]

To read the book of Judges Is to read about chaos, Everyone doing his own thing. What seems good or right, You do day or night. With all your might, You walk by sight. Might like peace or prefer a fight; ‘Tis all good. Do what you would! Don’t matter what you like: Ride a […]

A Good Roman Catholic. Now, uh, school me, please. Why hasn’t he been excommunicated? I am wondering what the meaning of “holy” is when we speak of the Holy Roman Catholic Church. Does “holiness” mean that “living a righteous life”? And if that is the case, may we say that Biden is not, by virtue […]
