God’s Cocoon and Life’s Greatest Lesson
Happy New Year everyone. May God richly bless you in 2026.
The older I get the more friends I see pass into eternity. I also pray for more people with life-threatening conditions. You may be aware that well-known political pundit Victor Davis Hanson had major surgery this past weekend. We are asking God to give him more years of “imparting wisdom.”
I, too, am facing a new physical challenge (related to my autoimmune system). These physical “tests” in the last chapters of earthly life remind me of “Life’s Greatest Lesson.”
Here’s what I mean.
Happy Thanksgiving: My Visit to Plymouth Rock
This week I spoke at two dinners at a retirement center. My mother is in memory care there.
It was a wonderful opportunity to cheer up the “builder generation” with the legacy of the Pilgrims and the colony they established in Massachusetts some 405 years ago
I reprint today the special visit I took to Plymouth Rock 37 years ago. This Thanksgiving we should thank our brave Pilgrim forefathers for their vision, wisdom and sacrifice that led to the making of the United States.
Why Is Communism Raising Its Ugly Head in America–Again?
November 11 is a trifecta date for celebrating courage. It’s Veterans Day in the USA, (honoring vets), Armistice Day (end of WWI), and St. Martin’s Day. Martin of Tours was a 4th century bishop who famously became a “soldier for Christ.”
Thirty-six years ago today I was attending a YWAM leaders conference in Niagara Falls, New York, where we watched the fall of the Iron Curtain. Communism failed in Russia and part of the world was liberated–some nations for the first time.
Past generations understood the horrors of communism–100 million people cruelly killed in the 20th century. Today’s younger generations are largely ignorant.
Communism is raising its ugly head–again–and we must courageously defeat it.
