In the Arena

Many of our presidents have been bigger than life. I suppose that just putting oneself forth in such a contest requires a fairly strong ego. It requires the conviction that you can win and it requires the conviction that you can do the job, that you have something to offer. That you can meet the unknown challenges that will come during the four years of your presidency....

What Say You?

I have returned from three marvelous adventures: San Francisco where Jai and I celebrated our 60th wedding anniversary; West Virginia where we held our 9th annual Wounded Warrior event; and the City of New York where Alexis’s aunt Charlene was married. With a great family BBQ, the day afterwards hosted by her Aunt Sojo. In New York, I also had given myself a number of days to take in the delights of that city....

I Bind Unto Myself Today

We are living in a fearful time. Not the fear of one but of many. We are closer to Great Power conflict than at any other time since WW I. The current level of mistrust and perceived threat resembles the world that existed prior to that conflict which consumed 40 million casualties, military and civilian. Just from July to November 1916 the Battle of the Somme resulted in one million casualties....

Living in the Spirit

We’ve all probably had a pet that we and our family got very attached to. Almost a mystical connection, if your personality is open to such rich connections. When we lived out in the California Desert a family in our Randsburg church had a small Dachshund given to them when the fellow’s brother who owned the dog took an assignment in the Middle East....

Unknown Gods

I later found out that my vocation of the ministry was a big disappointment to my father. Why would I choose to do this when I could enter a field where I would make a lot more money? I was just an idealistic failure. After Dad had finally graduated from Bethany College with a degree in chemical engineering, he went to work in a steel mill near Pittsburgh....

From Royal Screw-ups to Royalty

It doesn’t take much reflection for those moments of bad judgement to surface in the silence of our thoughts. Times when we could have, should have done better. That little “white lie” that wasn’t so little. That excuse not based on reality. Evil thoughts against one’s political foes. Only takes a second. My friend Dick related the delightful story of a pastor who decided to skip church and head for the golf links....

On the Road Again

As a child I delighted in those Bob Hope road-trip movies. I especially liked the ones featuring both Bob Hope and Bing Crosby. They usually featured great women, like “The Road to Hong Kong” with both Dorothy Lamour and Jean Collins. An extra plus was Peter Sellers. More recently, the “Blues Brothers” road-trip is a madcap adventure to raise money for their former orphanage....
