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.
Disagreeing With O’Reilly on the Pilgrims (and Witches)
Bill O’Reilly, host of the “No Spin News,” is one of my favorite news pundits. He reminded me a few years ago to question all you see/hear on TV and the Internet and always seek the facts about news and issues.
I paid $280 to become a lifetime member of his nightly broadcast for access to materials and commentary. In return, I received a free set of his Killing series books (now 13). They comprise the most successful non-fiction book series in history with nearly 20 million copies sold.
His latest blockbuster is Killing the Witches: The Horror of Salem, Massachusetts.
But I disagree with O’Reilly on the Pilgrims (and Witches).
