Today we hear a lot of noise—voices, headlines, opinions, and repetition—all claiming to tell us what is true. The real question is not what is loud, but how we know what is true. Recently, I had a conversation with some of my granddaughters about how to tell the difference between right and wrong, and that… Read more »

Yesterday, I listened to a liberal commentator on talk television claim that President Trump’s promises “aren’t taking place.” The statement wasn’t just misleading—it was laughable. It ignored a basic truth that anyone paying attention can see: the problems she listed didn’t begin under Trump. They were created, fed, and multiplied over years of liberal leadership…. Read more »

Every December, I find myself returning to the same Christmas movie. Last night, Carol and I watched It’s a Wonderful Life. I’ve seen it more times than I can count, yet it still reaches a place in me that few stories can. It’s about a man who becomes so overwhelmed by the pressures and disappointments… Read more »

I keep hearing people on the left say they “don’t want to go back,” as if returning to the values that built this country would somehow hold us back.

Today I saw an athlete wearing a hat with the word GOAT across the front—Greatest Of All Time. It made me stop and wonder what greatness really is. We often think greatness belongs only to the talented or the exceptional, but no one becomes great by themselves. Every great life is shaped by the sacrifices… Read more »

I was driving down Highway 49 on my way to a small town, watching the fall colors spread across the trees and the fields alive with deer and birds. The quiet beauty of the trip slowed my mind, and I turned on some music from the 60s to keep me company. John Lennon’s Imagine came… Read more »

This past year has carried a weight I never expected. I have watched people I love slip from this world—some slowly through sickness, others swallowed by discouragement, and a few who simply lost the hope that once kept them going. I have seen young families shaken as illness strikes a mother or father, leaving everyone… Read more »

The actor Richard Gere recently said that America needs leaders who can “raise us to a higher level of possibility” and criticized what he called a “crude mentality.” Because he is a celebrity, his spiritual views—shaped by Buddhism—are treated as wisdom and widely accepted. But this raises an honest question: why do the spiritual ideas… Read more »
