Tariffs, the goose, the gander and the American Dream
Let’s give the tariffs time to work. I am as anxious as you are since everything I have is tied to the stock market. If the stock market dies, I will be working or starving for the rest of my life. Let’s hope things settle down soon. I believe they will grow even bigger. The…

Love works better than hate
Hate is a toxic emotion. It is a dark, negative, tumultuous, heavy, disgusting, poisonous, and vile feeling that hurts others and ultimately hurts you.

Women and the abortion issue will decide the 2024 election outcome

Christmas is God’s extraordinary opportunity
Christmas was bleak when I was 14 years old. My father had fallen off the roof of our barn while trying to make a repair. He was severely injured. His hospital and home recovery took months. As a coal mining family, we lived financially tight in the best of times, although farming and gardening often…

Forgive and forget? Not in this world
Some people try to forgive, but they never forget. The people of Israel will never forget the Oct. 7 massacre by Hamas, which barbarically took the lives of over 1400 people.
