50 years ago today we promised our lives to each other for better or worse, richer or poorer, in sickness and in health and until we go to be with the master. We are blessed with an incredible heritage. The couples you see below blazed the path and set the example for us. These are wedding pictures of our parents, grand parents, great grandparents and great great grandparents back to 1879....

Maybe even Musk. The point is we won’t know for a while if the miraculous turnaround by the mega billionaires is heart felt or just a measure of their character. Real men stand by their convictions, their principles, their core beliefs and they do not waver. In just two months the titans of finance betrayed their years long commitments and support for atheistic socialism to benefit no-one but themselves....

Legacy: "Something that has come from an ancestor, predecessor, or the past...

The photo on the left was taken in 1965. The photo on the right in 2024. The truth of God's word, and the call to faithfulness is the avenue we all may choose as followers of the Lord. If we do choose the faithful road, the result is a legacy of favor and peace. Thank you Mom and Dad, Granny and Papa, Jason and Jaimee for your faithfulness.

I am intrigued by the History channel program Ancient Aliens and the History channel's Secrets of Skin Walker Ranch as well as the growing curiosity with UFOs, UAPs and paranormal activity. Why all of a sudden? Why the fascination with the idea that another realm may be attempting to interact in our realm? Does the mystery of ancient megalithic structures, strange gods that seem consistent with civilizations around the planet, and theories about visitors from space leaving early humans incredible knowledge have merit?...

On the slippery slope toward total cultural depravity, there looms another pagan practice that even the ancient pagan societies avoided. Using leftism logic, and the bastardization of the meaning of “consent” and “personal rights” the left continues to move the culture toward the acceptance of evil practices consistent with ancient pagan cultures. In his newly released brilliant book, Pagan America,...

When I was 10 years old I was struck when I heard Jillian sing for the fist time. We married ten years later. For the last 40 years I am struck every time I hear our daughters Jaimee and Julee sing in public. Today if you go to Spotify, or Apple Music and type in Jaylin Hope, or Jaylin Draper or you can click on the You Tube link below you will hear our daughter Jaylin Hope's new release....

So who hasn’t thought about the rapture in the last few weeks? The rapture mystery has always been a struggle for me as a lifelong skeptic of the supernatural. Like Thomas, (“I need to see the nail prints”) anything that is outside of the ability to see, taste, or touch is difficult to understand and in my case accept. The idea of physical human beings just disappearing seems too far fetched....

It is curious that the entire news media is covering Israel wall to wall as they say. It is the right and proper thing to do given the importance of the conflict on the world. Why has the war in Ukraine not been covered by any media at all? No 24 hour coverage like Israel, not even any regular updates with video or pictures....
