People often ask, “What is the best Bible?” There used to be pretty much only one Bible–the famous King James Version (KJV) produced in 1611. The King of England, King James, had commissioned it. When I first began studying the Bible, as a freshman in college, like most of my Christian friends and the church where I attended, I used only the KJV. But beginning in the late 19th century until now, there have been many so-called “modern” translations of... Read more
People often ask this question. They also ask, Which is the best Bible? That’s because there used to be pretty much only one Bible in the English-speaking world–the King James Version (KJV) that was produced in 1611. But since the late 19th century until now, there have been dozens of so-called “modern” English Bible translations, also called “versions.” I’ll speak to this in a followup post tomorrow. When people ask me these questions, I usually explain that all modern versions... Read more
Critical Trump books are proliferating, and they allegedly have some pretty shocking revelations. (I have one coming soon as well.) None are more revelatory than those written by people who were in the Trump presidential orbit or media reporters based in Washington D.C. One to be released next week is by Pulitzer-Prize winning reporters and authors of The Washington Post, Philp Rucker and Carol Leonning, that is entitled I Alone Can Fix It. This title is a public expression Donald... Read more
Parts of the U.S. are undergoing a third or fourth wave of this coronavirus pandemic called COVID-19 that the world has suffered for now 1.5 years. It also is happening around the world in different places, mostly because of variants. In the U.S., it is the variant called Delta that has become so prevalent. Way over half of all Americans now contracting this virus are contracting the Delta variant. These variants, including Delta, are much more contagious than the original... Read more
Jim Furyk, the unorthodox-swinging golf pro with 17 career wins on the regular PGA Tour won the top tournament among the 50 years and over crowd on the Champions Tour today–the U.S. Senior Open. He held off Retief Goosen and Mike Weir to finish ahead of them by three strokes with a one-over par 71 and a total of 7-under par 273 at the Omaha Country Club in Omaha, Nebraska. This win fits nicely together with his U.S. Open in... Read more
Over two weeks ago, on June 25th, the Pentagon released its long-awaited report about UFOs, that is, “unidentified flying objects.” The U.S. intelligence community now prefers to call them UAPs, which is short for “unidentified aerial phenomena.” The report states, “Some UAP appeared to remain stationary in winds aloft, move against the wind, maneuver abruptly, or move at considerable speed, without discernible means of propulsion. In a small number of cases, military aircraft systems processed radio frequency (RF) energy associated... Read more
On May 11, 2019, I wrote a blog post entitled, “Trump Won’t Like Notes at The Judgment.” It was about Congress questioning White House lawyer Don McGahn about the Mueller report. I explained therein, “President Trump had permitted Don McGahn to be interviewed by the Mueller team for about thirty hours, which is a lot. Mueller’s report further states that Trump once saw McGahn taking notes of their conversation. Trump then said to McGahn, ‘Why do you take notes? Lawyers... Read more
How things do change! This week, nearly six months after the January 6th riot at the Capitol, the U.S. Department of Justice arrested several supporters of former President Donald Trump who participated in that insurrection by physically and/or verbally attacking news reporters, or news photographers, and/or destroying their professional equipment. And the Department of Justice, under the new leadership of Attorney General Merrick Garland, may not be finished with arresting these type of rioters. Donald Trump had throughout his presidency...

I think so. Here’s what has happened. On June 17th, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops voted favorably for a statement it drafted which will deny the eucharist to any Catholic known to favor abortion. The Roman Catholic Church’s official position has been that abortion is a grave sin. The eucharist, also called “communion,” is the Church’s practice of offering bread and wine for gathered congregants to digest in a solemn ceremony administered by priests. Catholics are taught that the... Read more
Spaniard Jon Rahm made his move into expected superstar status today by winning his first major golf championship, the U.S. Open at Torrey Pines, in blazing style. He birdied the last two holes with lengthy, very curving birdie putts to beat South African Louis Oosterhuizen, the 2010 U.S. Open winner, by one stroke. And when Rahm made that last putt, the big man practically shook the ground when he rushed forward in ecstasy with a right arm upper-cut punch into... Read more
