(A Churchy Incarnation Meditation) A colonel may be subordinate to a general, but he is no less – an officer. He is no less a soldier; he is no less a servant of his country. He is no less a human. So, the eternal Son of God and the eternal Spirit are subordinate to the […]

Shittily did he speak to the lady And did deserve a rebuke at the least. Perhaps a slap on the chop Would have served betterTo curb such base indiscipline.Most high among the prioritiesOf civil human socializationIs the control of the bastard tongueWhen it goes out from under the ruleOf a parental spirit of decency.Let children […]

Football isn’t bad; Soccer may be better. But both are but a warm-up For the blessed wrestling season!“Mano-a-mano” is the game;Can’t put on another the blame.Responsibility you must bear;Can’t hide from the stare.The glory is yours to winWhether by decision or pin.But thank God for your skills;His purpose may you fulfill. 16 Oct. 2023

Bowie Wrestling! Class of 2019 Thanks for the medal! And the “pic” with coach Phillips! (Yeah, I give it a stare Sitting in my living room chair.
