Big Eva Wants Christians Dumb and Compliant

Thursday, February 27, 2025

Last fall I wrote Being Bound By Denominational Creeds and Confessions. If you haven’t read it or don’t remember much about it, I highly recommend reading it first. You will get much more out of this post because it is a sort of continuation (with more months of observation and dismay). I came across two …

Simplifying for Retirement | Cozy Life Reset – Day 14

Wednesday, February 26, 2025

Over the past year, David and I have been diligently looking for ways to prepare for retirement. There’s a lot to unpack in that one sentence, but today I thought I would share a bit about what we are doing. Full retirement (as in David not working at all) is not something we expect to …

Audio Posts Playlist

Monday, February 24, 2025

In my ongoing attempt to simplify everything I do here, I have consolidated all of the audio posts into one playlist. Prior to this I tried to make playlists by categories and it was too much to juggle. I also hope it will help newer members of my blog community discover things they might not …

Elon on That One Guy (Vindman)

Saturday, February 22, 2025

So how about this little gem from today? It only took me about thirty seconds of watching Vindman testify against President Trump in the first impeachment to know he was bad news. Not just against Trump, but something much worse. He’s not the biggest fish to fry, but I have no doubt he’s among the …

U.S. Government Funded a Smear Campaign Against Gab, Telegram

Thursday, February 20, 2025

I wrote The War on Gab and Andrew Torba in October 2023. I strongly encourage you to go back and at least skim it. One of the key points I made was this: There are two reasons we know the truth about what is going on in the world whether it is covid, the injections, …

Silver, Gold, and The Wizard of Oz

Thursday, February 20, 2025

Note: In this post, there are several links to other posts of mine that aren’t currently public. I’m leaving the links for now.  Nobody – and I mean NOBODY – has a highly-probable working theory of what’s going on with … To access this post, you must purchase Premium Content.

LibreOffice | Free Alternative to Microsoft Office 365

Wednesday, February 19, 2025

LibreOffice is a free office suite alternative to Microsoft Office 365. All three of us have made the switch to LibreOffice over the past couple of years. I started using it on Linux Mint when I left Windows behind for good. David uses it on his Apple laptop. Caroline uses it on a PC. It …

Download Your Kindle Books Now (or Permanently Lose the Option)

Wednesday, February 19, 2025

I wrote at length a few months ago about my decision to leave the Kindle ecosystem and move to Kobo in Switching To Kobo Libra Colour From Kindle. Part of this choice was driven by changes Amazon has been making related to Kindle. Well, things in the Kindle world have accelerated since then and will …

My 20th Blogging Anniversary – A Visual Retrospective

Monday, February 17, 2025

My 20th blogging anniversary was earlier this month. In honor of this milestone, I’ve assembled a visual retrospective post I’ve long wanted to do. I realize this is probably more of interest to me than some of my readers, but I want to keep this record. I’ve invested 20 years of my life into my …

Take Up His Cross

Friday, February 14, 2025

Matthew 16:24-28 Then Jesus told His disciples, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. What will it profit a man if he gains …

Were the Apostles Wrong About Jesus’ Return?

Thursday, February 13, 2025

A few years ago I started seriously thinking through many points of doctrine related to the last things, Revelation, the Gospels, the current nation-state of Israel, etc. I have joked about being a panmillenialist (because it will all pan out in the end). But a few things became glaringly obvious to me and I decided …

Two Reasons I’m Prioritizing Sleep

Sunday, February 9, 2025

A number of months ago, the nurse practitioner said something that stuck with me. She mentioned that the reason we often have to go to the bathroom shortly after we go to bed is because our body starts removing all the fluid inflammation more efficiently once we are lying down. This was relevant to me …

For 20+ years, I’ve been writing about following Jesus Christ and making choices based on what is true, beautiful, and eternal. Through purposeful living, self-employment, and homeschooling, our family has learned that freedom comes from a commitment to examine all of life and think for yourself.

A Christian Nation

"The real object of the first amendment was not to countenance, much less to advance, Mahometanism, or Judaism, or infidelity, by prostrating Christianity; but to exclude all rivalry among christian sects, and to prevent any national ecclesiastical establishment, which should give to a hierarchy the exclusive patronage of the national government."

Joseph Story (Associate Justice of the Supreme Court), Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States (1833), § 1871.

countenance: To favor; to encourage by opinion or words; To encourage; to appear in defense (Websters Dictionary 1828)
