OPINION: Strange political season begins with few events for 'politickin'
What a strange political season we are in. Yes, the resurgence of the viral pandemic, covid-19, has already and will no doubt affect the 2020 political season.
Why I no longer dig in my garden
With the exception of sweet corn, all of our vegetables are grown in raised beds. And while building a new raised bed is a good deal of work, the resulting ease of growing crops in raised beds greatly outweighs the initial outlay in labor and materials.
OPINION: Vast majority of whites not racist
Most Americans and virtually all Christians were taught not to mistreat others, that God is the father of all and we demonstrate our love for God by how we treat and serve others. The vast majority of whites, including police, are not unkind to Blacks or racist. So don't tell us that all whites, and only whites, have some kind of systemic racism because of the color of their skin. That belief is racist and a lie.

RELIGION: A Series of Devotions on Colossians
"Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timotheus our brother, to the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints, for the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel; which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth: as ye also learned of Epaphras our dear fellowservant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ; who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit." Colossians 1:1-8

RELIGION: 'Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners'
"And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who has enabled me, because He counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry, although I was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and an insolent man; but I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief. And the grace of our Lord was exceedingly abundant, with faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief. However, for this reason I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show all longsuffering, as a pattern to those who are going to believe on Him for everlasting life. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen." 1 Timothy 1:12-17
