Dolly Parton: Character Lessons from the Life of an American Original
Atheist Thinking is Turning Us into Idiots
I’ve been writing for decades about the worldview battle taking place in Western culture.
For hundreds of years our civilization anchored itself in the bedrock truths of the Old Testament as wise and crucial for just and humane societies. We also imbibed the grace and love of God found in Jesus as the oxygen of our social fabric.
We ascribed to the Judeo-Christian worldview. Grace and truth make individuals and nations strong.
But like a cancer, an atheistic, no-God, secular worldview has been infecting our nation for years.
And atheistic thinking is turning us into idiots.
Memorial Day 2026: The Bravest Boehme
Today is Memorial Day in America’s 250th year as a nation. Over one million men and women have given their lives defending the USA in thirteen major wars. Another four million died due to complications after battle.
My Uncle Dick (Boehme) gave his life for our country in flight combat–just seven months before WWII ended.
I can’t wait to meet him in heaven.
Six months ago, my brother gave me Dick’s silver star, some pictures, and his “Flight Record” book which he’d kept for many years. I created a special memorial shelf for them in my library. The meticulous “Flight Record” is the centerpiece, and contains his last entry–two days before his death.
I reprint Uncle Dick’s story each Memorial Day to honor his sacrifice.
He was the bravest Boehme.
