Two of those were Iranian friends of mine, which I talk about in my post The Last …

I posted the appointments from the 2024 Church of God General Assembly a few days ago. Unfortunately it's harder to obtain the final results of the agenda items. This is sort of the hard way to get those but following is a video of the General Assembly portion of the 2024 General Assembly. https://youtu.be/wI0XRJfHSjY?si=kvYhknEUO9xMyKpD At …
It's official: President Biden made the unprecedented decision Sunday to drop out of the 2024 presidential race, less than four months after being declared the Democratic Party’s presumptive nominee and just weeks after a dismal debate showing.

As we head into the final stretch of our Presidential election and we brace to hit the wall, an old prayer that may have seemed quaint back in the day has certainly made a comeback in relevance, in this case the Collect for Peace from the 1928 Book of Common Prayer. You can see it …
You can view the list here.

When Hillary Clinton finally shuffles off this mortal coil, what words will she be remembered by? My money would be on her “basket of deplorables” … Democrats are hooked on Hillbilly Horror

Yes, he has: Dr. Ron Gilbert of Cleveland, longtime educator and award-winning videographer, passed away peacefully on July 1, 2024, in a Chattanooga hospital with his loving wife, Cheryl, and his children by his side. He was 74. Long time readers of this site will remember my post Egos Inflatable to Any Size: The ACNA-AMiA Fiasco …

It's the time of the year when the United States celebrates its independence from the United Kingdom. These days there is always something "up in the air." One of those things is the fact that the "Appeal to Heaven" flag was found flying over the vacation home of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito. (My family …
The cat's out of the bag now: In a historic step, the Vatican is working toward "full communion" with conservative Anglicans by recognizing Anglican holy orders and churches without requiring "amalgamation or conversion."
