Just when I thought politicians couldn’t get any stupider — and I’ll include both Democrats and Republicans in this assessment, although we all know which party has been setting new records in this competition almost daily for the past few years — along comes North Carolina’s own Madison Caw…
“A dog will teach you unconditional love. If you can have that in your life, things won’t be too bad.”
Lyndal and I were yet to be married. Alex was barely six. Camden was still a thought in our minds.
“Mama I love you is,” probably the sweetest words I have ever heard.
Growing up in New York, by way of the South Bronx, aka “The Concrete Jungle” gave me a unique perspective about life.
The U.S. Supreme Court delivered its final decision for this Court Term last week and it was a bombshell. It was a landmark 6-3 ruling that bolstered the right of states to combat election fraud with statewide voting restrictions.
Every fall, in the seminary courses that I teach, we take a good look at the American Religious Landscape Survey. For obvious reasons, it’s pretty important for a newly-ordained clergyman to have at least a notion of what he’s getting himself into when he sets out with the Gospel into the Am…
What happens when a child is the victim of a molester who is a family member? What emotional pain will the child continue to suffer well into adult years? What feelings of guilt will the parents experience when made aware of their child’s trauma while in their care?
Wars have been part of history ever since humanoids discovered that the sharpened sticks they used to hunt game could also be wielded to kill their enemies.
Are you old enough to remember George Reeves as Superman on TV? He was the man of steel and able to leap a tall building in a single bound. It was great entertainment then, but now just as boring as a Joe Namath commercial for supplemental health coverage.
It has happened again.
RALEIGH — Will North Carolina Republicans have smashing victories in the 2022 midterms? Many politicos are acting as if they will, and it isn’t hard to understand why.
I don’t think I will get too many arguments if I say last year sucked. However, I try to look for the good in everything. Things could always be worse and there is usually a silver lining in every cloud. There was a lifetime of mayhem in 2020; but I periodically glimpsed a sliver of light th…
By the time you read this, the Fourth of July of 2021 will be a memory of a few days. But right now, a few days before the Fourth, I’m busy putting together my playlist for the obligatory grilled feast of hamburgers, bratwurst, and kielbasa, served up with the just as obligatory coleslaw and fries.
Critical Race Theory is the belief that all facets of society, people, and history are inherently racist. It sees everything through the prism of race, dividing society into two groups, oppressors (whites) and oppressed (minorities).
I’ve had it up to here with politicians throwing around historic terms with abandon, and with a complete abandonment of history and truth. Terms have been turned into Molotov cocktails and thrown into the crowd, whipping them up into a frenzy … like the villagers in “Young Frankenstein,” whe…
A while ago I joined a conversation with a couple of friends. Apparently they were discussing nationalities, as one quickly asked me what was mine. I said I wasn’t really sure, but believed I was Scotch or Irish. He quickly came back with “No. You may have Scotch or Irish roots; but you are …
