God forbid any citizen be put into a distressful situation where it calls for lethal action to save other innocent victims or themselves. Regrettably, there are many villains that roam the world on every continent, in every district, in almost every community that is capable of and will cause harm to everyday good guys at some time or other. Thus, it is a good thing for good citizens to be prepared to withstand attacks by aggressive evildoers. How should one be prepared to save innocent lives? Continue reading

Apple CEO Steve Jobs Turns 54
As you may well know, Apple (the computer company) has had a very turbulent start for 2009. It began with a conference that Apple CEO Steve Jobs traditional gives a keynote for, but due to new health issues, Steve took his first time-off ever (to my knowledge) to recover. When this happened, thousands of Apple fans world-wide shook in their boots, and the stock-market followed suit (bunch of backboneless wimps). Continue reading
What’s God Think of Your Music?

Role Models in a Role Modeless Society
Raised in a Christian home with a great home-education, I was introduced to several great examples of character. Not all had to be Christian, nor did they have to be perfect. The examples of quality were all unique in their own way. Some were successful in business—others in family. The honorable qualities from each man and women from history was gleaned and applied to my life. However, this is not the norm for young people’s education today. Most families have great difficulty finding role models for their children. Continue reading
Churching on the Internet
The New Testament is primarily where I like to get what I believe the Church is meant do. The Church has specific functions and jurisdictions. For example, biblically, the Church is not lawfully permitted to supersede the authority within families. Likewise, it is not permitted to supersede to authority of civil government. Continue reading
A Biblical Worldview of Art
The original reason I started blogging more than a year ago was my desire to push myself to learn then share with others what I’d learned. Thanks to the sophistication of modern communication, you don’t need a university to teach you everything out of highschool. There are innumerable sources for knowledge and I was poised to tap them and find truth. Continue reading
