1. GRAHAM GETS HIS WINGS December 23, 2022 A few years ago, I wrote about my closest high school buddy earning his wings. Dennis Hull first soloed in a Cessna before graduation. Further, Dennis became a Wright Brothers expert as a docent at Pima Air Museum in Tucson and flew a 1911 Wright Flyer (twice) at the Air Force Museum in Dayton, Ohio. He said it was a real bugs-in-the-teeth experience. The guy loved airplanes constantly building models including the remote-control variety—one the size of a small car. Dennis always wanted me to get into a glider (sailplane) with him, but I declined. The closest was when we (separately) “flew” F-... (read more) Author: Gene Myers

2. ALPHABET SOUP July 27, 2022 I notice the letters LGBTQ+ (or something like that) popup a lot these days especially in print and social media. The advocates claim all the hubbub is to make sure those with a different lifestyle get their “rights”, whatever that means. Okay. Well and good. Everyone deserves to pursue happiness and/or not be mistreated, but in my world that is not a “right” per se. Equal employment opportunity, lifestyle—okay. I wish bigotry and mistreatment of individuals who are exceptional from the mainstream (sexuality, race, dwarfism, et.al.) would just go away, but it won’t. The human condition i...

4. A Prayer for Ukraine April 13, 2022 Creator, the only God there is, Lord Jesus, who is just to forgive all our sins, Holy Spirit, our help; we adore You (Genesis 1-2) (1 John 1:9) (Matthew 28:19) (Psalm 34:1-4).

You said, that if there were ten just people, you would spare the whole place for their sake (Genesis 18:26).

5. Cyberwar History and Ukraine April 04, 2022 Cyberwar History and Ukraine, by Steve Burgess, 2022 People are much more drawn to images of blown-up building, fires, mushroom clouds, refugees in dire circumstances, color pictures of pain that are better in black and white than they are to explanations of code or even fallout from code if it’s not resulting in something blown-up, fiery, or pictures of people in pain that are better in black and white. That is to say, while we see plenty of stories of ransomware, temporary business disruptions, and credit card & ID fraud, it’s not visceral. It goes by quickly on the page and in our...

6. El Salvador Adopts BitCoin July 21, 2021 El Salvador Adopts BitCoin copyright 2021, Steve Burgess El Salvador just passed a law to make BitCoin (BTC) legal tender and is the first country to do so. It did something similar back in 2001, when it made the US Dollar the official currency, replacing the Salvadoran Colón (named after Christopher Columbus), which had been the official currency for more than a century. What’s interesting is that the dollar was adopted because it was a stable currency. It was adopted in hopes of stabilizing El Salvador’s economy. While BitCoin is joining the dollar as legal currency, one would be... (read more) Author: Steve Burgess

8. An American Patriots Shame February 09, 2021 As I watched the 13 minutes from the impeachment trial opening, I became profoundly ashamed. Many of the insurgent's parents, grandparents, great grandparents, and ancestors fought for...(?) this country(?), our Constitution(?), a way of life that has been blissfully dead for 200 years? Indeed some of those insurgents where or had been in the military or police forces fighting for...? I'm not so sure anymore. If that is the equal so many of us have fought and died for, for so many decades and centuries, then it's time to revisit our truths, our democracy, our republic. I don't want to be equal...

11. Call for decency and cooperation October 04, 2020 I am a concerned patriot of the United States of America, and I beseech those who love our country to consider. Take heed. I've thought much about the time when we could disagree with one another, but that didn't mean that we should banish those who disagree with us from this country or even the planet. Disagreement provided us with the opportunity to grow as individuals and as a country. Disagreeing helps us see things we hadn't considered. When we approach issues with respect for others and concern for the health and safety of all people not just for ourselves, and with common decency we are... (read more) Author: marvell lawson

Demanding Justice but Showing No Mercy - The Obvious Hypocrisy of the Protests September 01, 2020 Without resorting to entire theological treatise to explain it, and it being most likely that a secular mind would hardly care, much less understand it, one single Bible verse will do fine. “He hath showed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?” (Mic 6:8) The equation is blindingly obvious. The cops need to do justly when dealing with our black citizens. We see that in some cases they are not. For the black community the call is to be merciful. We see that black on black crime and aborti... (read more) Author: Michael Bresciani
