The chaos continues to mushroom in professional golf worldwide that has been caused by this year’s, new, Saudi-backed LIV Golf tour. Several former PGA Tour and DP World Tour (former European Tour) member have signed up with LIV Golf and played one or more of its four events that have been staged since June this year. (The next and last four are next month.) Both of the two established pro golf tours reacted by either suspending or banning these rebel... Read more
Jesus’ wisdom teaching on judging continues to play out before us Americans in the life of Donald Trump. When he first campaigned against former First Lady and Secretary of State, Hilary Clinton, for the U.S. presidency in 2016, he encouraged his supporters attending his political rallies to yell, “Lock Her Up,” referring Ms. Clinton, and they did so with GUSTO. It was because she had inadvertently broken government security protocol by using a private email server for both personal and... Read more
Denmark just became the world’s first nation to pay money for its contribution to “loss or damage” caused by climate change. At the first face-to-face meeting of UN nation leaders in three years, caused by the pandemic, Danish development minister Flemming Møller Mortensen announced that Denmark would contribute $13 million which the UN will administer. He said in a prepared statement, “It is grossly unfair that the world’s poorest should suffer the most from the consequences of climate change, to... Read more
Two hours ago, Max Homa successfully defended his Fortinet Championship on the North Course at Silverado Resort and Spa in Napa, California. It was one of the most shocking finishes you will ever see on the last hole of a PGA Tour tournament. And it happened right were I won my first PGA Tour tournament, way back in 1968. Danny Willett is a 34-year old Englishman who plays mostly on the European Tour, which is now renamed the DP World... Read more
Through the years, I’ve posted a lot about UFOs, even writing a series of ten posts about the most famous UFO sightings. Most recently, I’ve posted about the U.S. Congress re-opening an investigation about UFOs and its recent progress. I think many UFO sightings that cannot be explained by known phenomena in our world are the work of angels. The Bible has many accounts about angels interacting with human beings, with angels showing themselves as appearing human-looking and speaking... Read more
Trump’s political motto has been MAGA, meaning Make America Great Again. But an increasing number of American voters are hailing a new MAGA for Trump, which is Make Attorneys Get Attorneys. It means that Donald Trump is dragging his hired lawyers with him into ethical, if not legal, trouble so that they need to hire their own lawyers for themselves. This is why it reportedly has been difficult for The Donald, a recent and former president of the USA, to... Read more
Ex-U.S. President Donald Trump had enough legal problems without this latest one. The Department of Justice has been investigating him for having taken hundreds of classified government documents when he exited the White House and stored them in his resort-residence at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida. The National Archives learned about it soon afterwards and began a lengthy process of asking for their return. But like so many presidential matters, Trump has been obstinate about it and refused. Yet this... Read more
Queen Elizabeth II died today at 96 years of age. She was England’s longest-reigning monarch, having been the queen for seventy years. She was much beloved throughout the British Commonwealth as well as throughout the world. Her son Charles is now the King of England, taking the name King Charles III. I’ve been to England twice, but I never got to see Queen Elizabeth. Maybe you could say the closest I ever got to her was knowing her chaplain, or... Read more
Jesus was arrested in the Garden of Gethsemane, shortly before his interrogation and condemnation by the Sanhedrin and subsequent crucifixion by the Romans. We read in the Gospel of Mark in the New Testament (NT) about Jesus’ imminent arrest, “Judas, one of the twelve, arrived; and with him there was a crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders” (Mark 14.43 NRSV). The Gospel of Mark then includes a peculiar detail about Jesus’ arrest... Read more
I am in the process of making my first book, The Gospel (Victor Books, 1987), into an audio book. It is a single narrative harmony of the four New Testament gospels in the New International Version of the Bible, which is produced by Zondervan. BTW, my friend evangelist Billy Graham endorsed it by saying, “It may well become a classic.” The first three NT gospels are called “synoptics” because they record many of the same acts and sayings of Jesus....
