Dear Governor, I write because you represent the people of your state. Your duty is to protect the lives of those people. Their location should not matter, as long as their corpus is within the boundaries of your state. I believe that deep down, you should understand this. You did not get elected because youContinue reading “Open Letter to U.S. Governors”

Murder Will Not Go Unpunished
I am angry. I’ve seen the headline from New York probably about seven times now. And every time I get more angry. But, I know what an utter waste of time my anger is. Just this morning on my bus ride in, I read these verses: “Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; fret not yourself,Continue reading “Murder Will Not Go Unpunished”
Revisiting Romans
The below is my response some years ago to an article that seems to have been removed, concerning the old Duck Dynasty’s commentary on homosexuality, after some children had killed themselves over the issue. I do not fully remember the premise of that article, nor of the old man’s point of view, but it wasContinue reading “Revisiting Romans”

Stand Up and Bless
The title is a phrase we say in the Synagogue at least once a month. It is a call from the scriptures to acknowledge the sovereignty of the Creator. Last night I was watching the news, which I am loathe to do most of the time, because it just frustrates me concerning the way peopleContinue reading “Stand Up and Bless”
Today’s Big Issue
וְאֶת זָכָר לֹא תִשְׁכַּב, מִשְׁכְּבֵי אִשָּׁה: תּוֹעֵבָה, הוא Above is the verse that relates to one of the most difficult and controversial topics about which people opine very near daily in every forum. I have refrained from doing so, so as not to lend to the cacophony, but have been compelled, seemingly from within and/orContinue reading “Today’s Big Issue”
