Dear Governor Walz

On July 25th, 2020 you ordered a statewide mask mandate. Minnesota State Law statute 609.735 states “A person whose identity is concealed by the person in a public place by means of a robe, mask, or other disguise, unless based on religious beliefs or incidental to amusement, entertainment, protection from weather, or medical treatment, is guilty of a misdemeanor.” Medical treatment means examination and treatment by … Continue reading Dear Governor Walz

Blood

Two timbers tied together, The wood is stained forever, How simple it may seem, To picture red beam upon beam, Streaks of crimson mark the grain, Never washed by the rain, A final breath atop the hill, The ‘Place of the Skull’ had it’s fill, The Prince of Darkness had his ways, He kept the Lamb of Light busy 3 days, The Savior’s mercy knows … Continue reading Blood

It’s all colleges in this country do.  Indoctrinate.  You’ll pick up enough occupational skills to learn the rest on the job, but for the most part, they’ll tell you how to think.  At top colleges, liberal professors outnumber conservative ones 12 to 1.  Is that a healthy, moderate … Continue reading Repeat After Me

Class Identity & Racism

Emotional Change

Often times, emotion is the instigator to great change.  If you’ve ever been fed up with something, then you know what I mean. Feelings are great, but they should always be scrutinized.  Why are you feeling this way?  Does it make sense with reality?  Important conversation about change should never be devoid of facts.  If the facts make you emotionally uncomfortable, maybe your emotions are … Continue reading Emotional Change

An example of flawed Biblical application

Sounds good, right?  I’m not arguing that black lives don’t matter… they quite obviously do.  But to imply that the 99 sheep aren’t in danger is ludicrous. How are the 371 white people killed by police (compared to 236 black) in 2019 “not in danger”? The Bible doesn’t imply that the 1 sheep is black, the Bible implies that all life is worth trying to … Continue reading An example of flawed Biblical application
