You’ve probably heard the expression “We have nothing to fear but fear itself.” or some variation of it. An interesting thing to think about for sure. But I think the whole quote is far superior. Here’s what the quote actually is “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself – nameless, unreasoning, unjustified …
I keep seeing posts going around that are talking about money or lack of money, lol, and it seems to me that a lot of people don’t really understand what money actually represents. For example, I have seen this one going around quite a bit. Sounds like a great idea right? See? We don’t need …
There is only one real currency and no, it’s not money. Read More »
I’ve given this a lot of thought and I’ve come to the conclusion that one of the reasons that the country is where it is today is because Christians have been taught a horrible misrepresentation of Christ. And the “Turn the other cheek” thing is at the heart of it all. Maybe we could also …
This is probably the most important thing that we could talk about today. There is a group of people who strongly believe that there are too many human beings on this planet and they have taken it upon themselves to solve it. These people blame you and your families for this problem. If it wasn’t …

Why is it that people who push individualism often warn about the dangers of collectivism? Do we not often make sacrifices for our community? Is that not for “the greater good”(Every time you read this think of that scene from Hot Fuzz) of society? I mean even the great philosopher of our time, Spock told …
What is Truth? Have you ever seen the picture above on your social media? Have anyone ever used it while talking with you as an example of how two things could be true at the same time? I know I have and when I first saw it, I didn’t really pay it too much attention …
