In Defense of Parades

In a few short weeks, I will have graduated from the Air Force Academy fifty years ago.  I learned about military parades there.  I hear that one is coming up soon.  Perhaps it befalls to a career guy to explain military parades to the public who may not understand their history or relevance.  Parades exist for a reason.  You may not like the...

God and Light

A Quantum of Evidence The Christmas season is the season of lights.  The star is on overlooking Palmer Lake, and every house, shop and street looks a little brighter these days.  I enjoy light anytime.  Especially in the April to August timeframe, I most enjoy those longer summer days of light.  I used to go fishing at 9PM on...

ON THE BALLOT AGAIN THIS YEAR

Truth vs Power Truth matters.  True truth matters more.  Building on yesterday’s post, should truth not really matter anymore, what is the source of our future freedom?  Do we now crave comfort instead of truth?  Is it just our own pleasure that we crave, regardless of the truth?  No, and the answer is actually much worse...

ON THE BALLOT AGAIN THIS YEAR

Freedom vs Autonomy The Bible tells us that true truth (actually, “absolute” truth) leads to true freedom.  True truth is defined by God, is embodied in His son Jesus Christ, and the truth that sets us free is found in relationship with Him. The Bible informs my definition of freedom as it does for millions of Christians around the...

Updated from an original post on April 9, 2018 For Lee We have a family mission statement.  That may seem a bit superfluous at first but hear me out in this post on why and then I’ll explain ours to you.     It is often said (and, quite frankly, it often feels like) our families are under attack.  Our great enemy...

We are approaching a time in our nation’s history when we will need to employ our military instrument of national power.  Our national leadership, diplomacy, diplomatic sanctions, economic sanctions, alliance-building, and political rhetoric do not seem to have made much difference in the Ukraine and Crimea regions, as well as the Taiwan Strait. ...

Of (Cold) Civil War and Christmas

A cold (and sometimes hot) civil war engulfed the former great nation.  Hopelessly divided, they were once among the most respected and revered in the community of nations.  But now, it was different. One side, more liberal and secular, had grown that way by leaders who had led them from God and Bible truths.  There was worldly...

We Are Not Free to Help the Ukrainians

I am breaking from my self-imposed moratorium on blogging as I was moved by a statement made by Ukrainian President Zelenskyy this morning. He said that it’s apparent that he and his countrymen are going it alone in this war against the Russians.  My heart goes out to him and his people. As much as feelings are taking precedence over truth...

Lohmeier’s Oath

I have a couple of comments on the entire Matthew Lohmeier affair, the Space Force Lieutenant Colonel who lost his command for publishing an “unpublished” book about current cultural “re-education” in the military.  I’ve already alluded to the fact that this kind of reproach was coming and now it is happening.  Having examined this...

I Have Questions, Too: Science

We receive some interesting questions at askanyquestion.info and we make our best efforts to respond.  But we also have questions.  Here are some that have come to mind since I have been away for a while.  I thought you’d want to know.  Perhaps you can answer them for me. Why is science so intent on searching out new worlds on...
