On this day of all days, never forget that it is a profound privilege, and a blessing from God, to live in the United States of America. Volumes could be (and have been) filled with evidence of this simple yet oft slippery truth. Even in certain circles of American “Christians” it’s becoming uncool-ish [...]

From a recent email:
You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.

Nothing turns you from media pinata to media darling as fast a death. I was a fan in his prime – the 80’s – and I truly enjoyed the Thriller album. It’s a portrait of human fallibility that someone at the “top” could topple so hard in later years. Those of us [...]
My posting has (again) been sparse… but with good reason. I have a new addition to the family! Our little Sawyer was born a week ago today, and has thus far been consuming much of our time with poop, sleep, crying, and cuddling. We wouldn’t trade him for the world! [...]

Today we are free because greater men and women before us bled for it. Some still bleed. Others carry old scars. Let us be sure that we forget none of them. If you want to honor the fallen, find an elderly or disabled veteran and lend them your helping hands for a few [...]
After 15 years using a USAA credit card I canceled it today simply because the “specialist” on the phone – Erica Valadez – treated me like I was nothing but a number. Ummm, people are beating down my mailbox to give me credit cards with cute gifts or 0% for a year… and you [...]
So about three weeks ago now I participated in Albany’s local extension of the national Tax-Day Tea Party. All manner of Capital Region folks came out to support positive tax reform and responsibility in government spending.
This is a particularly salient point in the capital of New York State. We recently ranked last (dead [...]
I'm a Christ-follower, compelled by my faith toward reason, which points directly toward conservatism. This world's daily onslaught of lunacy offends my intellect and senses, so this is my venue to blow off steam.
