Impolite Doesn’t Make You Right
“I will absolutely raise my daughter to know she does not have to be polite to men who creep her out.” Why? Don’t you realize that she will be repulsive? I absolutely raised my sons to be polite to obnoxious girls. How he treats unlikeable women is reveals a boy’s character. Your daughter’s rudeness is […]
I’m The Reason You Left The Church.
“John, you jerk!! People like you are the reason I quit the church!!!!” Thank you for the encouragement. Sometimes it feels like I’m accomplishing nothing.

Thank God for Contentment
(Philippians 4:10) Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. I […]
I Abstain and You’re Salty
I know why you’re angry with me. You’re surprised that I won’t join your party. You invited me to celebrate your individuality, to applaud your uniqueness, to revel in the virtue of just being human.

It is not often that you’ll keep secrets in order to do good works. Most of the time, secrets keep evil from being exposed. “John, you jerk!!! What about surprise birthday parties?!! What about anonymous donations to charities??!!! What about giving so the left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing?!!! THAT’S SCRIPTURE, […]
Bitterness For Fun and Profit

If you want […]

God Feeds Birds and Poor People
You’ve doubtless been unable to sleep wondering about the results of my experiment so I won’t keep you in suspense any longer! I asked for an interpretation of Psalm 145:15 (and 16 for you sticklers) which says: The eyes of all look to you, and you give them their food in due season. You open […]
