 Post date: July 2026 Remember "Freedom???" When "Photo ID" was your baby picture or high school graduation in the local newspaper? Traveling was just getting on a bus, or train, or plane and departing for your destination? When Canada and Mexico were not Enemies and Aliens to be arrested and imprisoned, but Neighbors who's Countries we could travel....With No Passport!?! Security Checks were the neighbors parents calling to say "The Kids" are at their house for diner and TV and will be home by sunset? The only person on the block "Open Carrying" a gun was The Policeman? The FBI posted "The Top 10 Most Wanted" and not the leaders who from our Nations top Agencies? Money was printed and coined by The U.S. Mint and not ephemeral electrical current in Data Centers called "Crypto-Currency"? The Faces we recognized were of all Nationalities and Colors. Gandhi, Einstein, Martin Luther King, Red Cloud, not just one personage and ...
 Post date: June 2026 The Lie #...   Computers "Free" people from Work.  Precept number 1:  Work is the lifeblood and human beings. The human condition; endowed by Natures' God as the exchange for gaining the fruit of the tree of Knowledge. That knowledge primarily being the difference between good and evil. (ref- Declaration of Independence and the Bible Genesis 3) If this is accepted as a precept, which I do.  Then arguments, or rhetoric, from men, and women, who declare that to follow their path will free the follower from work and give them entrance to Paradise; life of no labor, but full of the following of lusts and passions, must be Lies. Moreover, lies directly from the Father of Lies; Satan.  Precept number 2: On a purely physics level: if one considers that Creation continues from a condition of uniformity to a condition of complexity.  Then inventions of mechanical, electrical, and mineral composition are consistent with increased compl...
 Facing the world. Facing adversity. Using ones mind and body to meet, and hopefully overcome, the obstacles of life. Leads to the greatest personal level of creative energy and achievement.  This is in contrast to a life of sheltered existence, meaning material wealth, which does not challenge the body or mind; but leaves personal creative efforts to the lusts and passions of the body and dreams. 
 The question has to be asked: Did Moses respond to God encountered seeing the burning bush....or something else?  At the burning bush Moses is told to "put off your shoes". As Christians we are told we wear "the shoes of the Gospel of Peace", so Jesus Lord and King of the Jews wears the shoes of the Gospel of Peace, why "put off your shoes?".  The history of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob had been a history of Peace. Shepherds, and when entering Egypt led by Joseph honored and giving high station. As sons of Noah surviving The Flood they lived under The Promise of God, destruction would not come again to the world by flood. But from Moses forward the Hebrews become a people who are trained for military authority and violent taking of land to claim as their own.  Could the voice from the burning bush not have been God, but another? One that only shows it's "back side" and not it's face? One that leads it's subservient stranded in the waste...
 Two things happened today which need my commitment to written word. First, following my failure of social grace at work yesterday I spent several hours of reflection upon how to apologize to my fellow employee Felix. I had injected myself into a conversation he was having with another employee, about yet a third employee. It angered Felix and after sleeping on it and thinking about I came to the realization that I have been self-absorbed and rudely injected myself into Felix's conversation. Completely failing to recognize his private space. Failing to hold my opinions until a time and place where I could voice them to the other employee, to whom they pertained. I am ashamed and hoping to ask Felix formally for his forgiveness.  Secondly this comes upon this 8th day of April 2026 which I realize is just two weeks past what would have been the 50th anniversary of the first marriage I entered with Eileen McAfee-Kendig. The realization brought home to me that the blessing that wa...
  I don't usually promote myself, but I am standing up For Democracy. This face was known to Richard Nixon, as he saw it in 1960 at Ridgewood, N,J, as he almost stepped on me as he left his campaign rally running against John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Buzz Aldrin saw it as he sat on a flat-bed truck at Oshkosh Wisconsin talking questions from the audience of only 100 hundred or so. Bill and Hillary Clinton may have seen both of us, as we appear here, as we listened to them in Youngstown, Ohio campaigning on Healthcare. President Obama and Michelle Obama did not see us, but, he shot basketballs on my home court, Indiana University, and owes me a game. As I look in the mirror this morning and my reflection looks back.....I WANT ALL THE FACTIOUS RELIGIOUS ZEALOTS PROMOTING DOMINIONISM, TO KNOW; I AM NOT AN APE! I AM, AND WE, CHRISTINE AND I, ARE: MEN AND WOMEN CREATED EQUAL... ...endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of...
 This Christmas we had a lot of quiet reflections about Christ and his coming with the message to love one-another. I as I drifted off to sleep I thought of all the forces in the world working against such a philosophy, and I rested in Jesus' words, "wherever two or more are gathered, there I am. To see that it it good."  With my wife, my lover, my partner Christine beside me I slept.  This day after Christmas I think of how few people I am connected to closely in Christ, with whom I can be one of the two gathered together. My earthly father said if a person had five people he could count as friends, he was lucky and doing well. That is about the case.  It occurs to me how fragile a situation of near alone-ness I am, and could be pushed into. And what consequences on strength of faith and sanity being forced into a life where being one with no other 'two' to gather with would be.  IMHO, we all hear the voices of the world all around us, as Jesus said, "let th...
