Projection
“Why do you look at the splinter in your neighbor’s eye and never see the log in your own eye?” Some of our citizens may be confused by all the accusations of fraud and cheating in regard to to our election and the president’s inability to believe the election results. On the other hand, manyContinue reading “Projection”
Leadership Vacuum
During this presidential transition the media chatter often includes references to a “leadership vacuum.” My assumption is that this is the perception that the current president is pulling away from his responsibilities while the president-elect is waiting off stage. Admittedly, I sometimes wonder if there has been a leadership vacuum for the last several monthsContinue reading “Leadership Vacuum”
“Truth Decay”
“The light shines in darkness and the darkness cannot overcome it.” John 1: 5 President Obama said something today that caught my attention: “Trump has accelerated ‘Truth Decay.’” Evidently this term has been around for years but I failed to pay attention to it.

Decisions
Life is composed of choices and decisions. Right now the Supreme Court is hearing arguments abut the Affordable Care Act. I do not pretend to understand the arguments the lawyers are making, but what I hear is that the health care many depend upon is threatened. Caring people across our country find this possible lossContinue reading “Decisions”
