I believe that God wants all of us and especially those who follow him to…

No Bringing Back Dinosaurs, Not Even One!

Daily writing promptIf you could bring back one dinosaur, which one would it be?View all responses All it took was one Jurassic Park movie to make me realize that no dinosaurs should ever be brought back.

Trouble On The Air Waves In America

Yesterday, congress in the USA voted to defund Public Media in America. That means that PBS and NPR, which made up a small part of the total budget, will not receive aid from the government and that will impact Public TV and Radio stations from coast to coast. This is a problem because many of those stations provide an essential informational and instructional service to communities where there…

Something About Cuts To Public Media

I’ve said it before that cutting funding to NPR and PBS is a horrible thing. They are worth every penny in making our communities better, more informed, and connected.

Wednesday Wisdom

The law does a lot to keep things together and to create an order in society. For fairness and justice, laws must be changed and amended. Right now, the law is needed now more than ever to prevent chaos and anarchy.

Rewatching Battlestar Galactica (2004 Series)

Tonight, we have begun a re-watch of Battlestar Galactica from 2024 that was produced by Ronald D. Moore. This update of the late-1970s program takes a decidedly darker tone as what’s left of humankind struggles for survival against the robot Cylons, who have killed millions. The Galactica, led by William Adama, protects a patched-together fleet of civilians – led by de facto president Laura…

For me, it’s several things, like church, blogging, geek life, nerd stuff, and more. I am also a Canadphile where I like all things about True North. I think it’s great to have things in life you can share with others, and that can…
