How to Apologize and Mean It

February 19, 2024 By Kermit Zarley

The New York Times had a good article Friday about apologizing. It says that apologizing makes a person vulnerable. So, people who resist vulnerability have difficulty apologizing. Mucho men saying “no regrets” is the opposite of apologizing. Women often complain that men are like that. It may be due to us guys feeling we must appear strong and therefore not let down our defenses. Apologizing renders a person humble. I’m from Texas. Athough Texans are known for their bragging rights,... Read more

Wisdom of King Solomon VS Overly Positive Thinking

The book of Ecclesiastes in the Old Testament is one of the Bible’s most unusual books. It does not expressly identity its author. But it begins, “The words of the Teacher, the son of David, king of Jerusalem” (Ecclesiastes 1.1 NRSV). If the author is honest about this, he obviously is King Solomon of Israel, the nation’s third king. Ecclesiastes and the book of Proverbs represent the pinnacle of the Bible’s wisdom literature. Proverbs begins, “The proverbs of Solomon,... Read more

This AT&T tournament was the Tour’s second signature event of the new year. It’s a... Read more

Dunlap then retired to campus life for the next two weeks to contemplate whether he... Read more

President Joe Biden has always been a big supporter of the State of Israel. This became even more evident when Hamas’s attack of Israel on October 7th last year resulted in Israel’s war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, which it governs. President Biden immediately went to Israel to meet with Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, give him a photo-op hug, and affirm his support for Israel’s war effort. But this initial Biden reaction ignored stating any sympathy for Palestinians... Read more

Donald J. Trump, the former president of the United States of America, is such a sorry excuse for a human being! Yesterday, this self-proclaimed “stable genius” defeated his sole rival for the Republican Party nomination for the US presidency, the cordial Ms. Nikki Haley, in the New Hampshire primary. And today, he bragged on his Truth Social media network for the world to read, “Just had a GIANT VICTORY over a badly failing candidate–‘Birdbrain.'” Trump is not only a TERRIBLE... Read more
