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.

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...

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...
