Trump added that “some, I assume, are good people.” “To me, a racist statement is a racist statement. I …

Any “Weird Christians” Out There?

When I was a kid a buddy of mine would occasionally drag me along to a Catholic church service with him, seeing how misery loves company, especially as a child. Even though I hadn’t a clue what was going on — being raised Protestant — I was always mesmerized by the outlandish garb, the thick …

If You Got (Covid-19) Blood, The Red Cross Wants It

Not exactly how the kick ass AC/DC song goes but close enough to make the point of this somewhat poignant post (ah, the hackneyed beauty of alliteration) which is: If you are a Covid-19 survivor, we, as in humanity and as represented by the Red Cross, need your blood. April 10 of this year is …
