Standing Beside Elijah

It is time for some straight talk about abortion. I am presently attending the RCIA for The Most Holy Trinity Catholic Church here in Augusta. I suppose that what they say about converts is as true as what they say about smokers who have quit, “Lord deliver me for the enthusiasm of a recently converted [...]
The Inaugural Robinson–A Two Legged Stool

Kathy and I left the Episcopal Church. If you want a reason why, just look at Eugene Robinson and his actions concerning the inauguration. He promises that he won’t use the Bible or mention God or Jesus in his prayer. Wow, that will be unusual. As a “gay’ bishop in a christian church headed by [...]

Okay, I admit it. I have put Moby Dick back on the shelf twice, and retrieved it both times. I am going to finish this book. I had the same struggle with Mere Christianity but through a combined effort of discipline and sweat I was able to finish it. Moby Dick will require more “blood, sweat, and [...]
The New Challenge: Moby Dick

So, yesterday, I finished reading The Grapes of Wrath. I felt exactly as I did when I finished reading Treasure Island for the first time. Most of my adult life I had heard that these were two books that everybody should have read, but I hadn’t. So last year, I finally read Treasure Island and The [...]
