Isaiah 59:1-2 is an interesting text that fits the day in which we live. It goes like this: “Behold the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; nor His ear heavy, that it cannot hear. But your iniquities have separated you from your God; And your sins have hidden his face from you, that He will not hear.” We live in a changing world. Each generation witnesses’ changes that would astound their ancestors. I asked a farmer years ago, what was the biggest change in agriculture in his lifetime? He didn’t have to think...
A time to think, reconsider What a free and open society we have: There are a host of laws for gun control and anti-trusts (monopolies) that are somewhat bypassed, too many authorities and politicians, much of the public being overactive and hysterical, business and groups like the NCAA letting politics interfere, internationals trying to dominate the world media, internet, mobile phones, radio, TV and the movies. Peaceful protests are violent and destructive. Medical workers are too demanding and over-cautious. Democrats...

Deutschesfest was started 17 years before I was born, but I've had the pleasure of growing up in Odessa and knowing so many of the individuals who spearheaded t...
