Throughout my Christian life, the Gospel of John, which scholars also call “the Fourth Gospel, has been my favorite of the four New Testament gospels. When I played the regular PGA Tour, I often carried one or more pocket-sized booklets of the Gospel of John in my golf bag to give to people to whom I witnessed about my Christian Faith. I believe the Gospel of John is the most well-crafted book I have ever read. Much of it’s prologue,... Read more
In a speech last week, Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte attacked God. The tough-talking, often cursing president mentioned the story of creation in the Bible’s book of Genesis. He questioned why God would create Adam and Eve and then tempt them in the Garden of Eden with the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. He said, “Who is this stupid God. This son of bitch is really stupid.” He also castigated the Christian doctrine of “original sin,” calling it... Read more
Today, Bubba Watson shot 63 to come from behind by six strokes to win the Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut, by three strokes. It was the third time in his career that he has won this tournament; it was his third PGA Tour win this year, the most of anybody; it was his twelfth Tour win; and it insured him of a spot on the next Ryder Cup team. England’s Paul Casey started the day with... Read more
Due to the controversy about U.S. President Trump’s immigration policy being stringently imposed recently by his Attorney General Jeff Sessions, First Lady Melania Trump flew to Texas today to visit immigrant families stopped at the U.S.-Mexico border. She wore a knee length, lime-colored, teenage jacket that said in painted white letters on the back, “I really don’t care. Do u?” It raised a lot of eyebrows. People wondered what she meant by wearing a garment with that statement. It’s implication... Read more
Nikki Haley, the U.S.’s UN Ambassador to the UN, announced yesterday that the U.S. is withdrawing its membership from the UN Human Rights Council. She called it “an organization that is not worthy of its name.” But like her boss, U.S. President Donald Trump, she was light on reasons other than her constant criticism of the UN regarding its perceived ill treatment of Israel. That’s really the reason. If it wasn’t for that, I doubt Trump would do it. Once... Read more
Paul Krugman’s op-ed in today’s New York Times is alarming. It’s entitled “Fall of the American Empire.” Rather, than “Make America Great Again,” Krugman alleges that U.S. President Donald Trump is quickly eroding American moral principles that made it great, thus doing the opposite. The following are excerpts from Krugman’s piece: “The U.S. government is, as a matter of policy, literally ripping children from the arms of their parents and putting them in fenced enclosures (which officials insist aren’t cages,...

Brooks Koepka won his second successive U.S. Open title today. He bogeyed the last hole to shoot 68 and still win by one stroke over Tommy Fleetwood. He was an early finisher in the clubhouse with a U.S. Open record-tying 63 today for a four-round total of 282, two over par. In the modern era, Koepka’s successive U.S. Open titles tied Curtis Strange (1988-1989 and Ben Hogan (1950-1951). Long-haired Fleetwood missed setting a new record with a 62 by missing... Read more
U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions spoke out Thursday in defense of the Trump administration’s handling of our immigration laws. The government is treating newly immigrant families by separating children from their parents for weeks. Many Americans are greatly disturbed about this, especially Christians. They are citing biblical passages which they think command otherwise by showing empathy, etc. Sessions said Thursday in response to “church friends” that “I would cite you to the Apostle Paul and his clear and wise command...

Dustin Johnson lost his four-stroke lead today in the U.S. Open, shooting a seven-over par 77 to finish in a four-way tie for first place with a 213 stroke total. He is tied with defending champion Brooks Koepka, who shot 72, and both Tony Finau and Daniel Berger who shot a course-blistering 66. Finau and Berger took advantage of benign conditions of less wind and smoother greens by playing about four hours earlier than the leaders did. That’s the unfairness... Read more
Just minutes ago, at the U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club on Long Island, New York, superstar Phil Mickelson very uncharacteristically hit a putt on a green past the hole that was going to speed up going downhill, and perhaps roll off green, and Phil ran to the moving ball and hit it back at the hole, past the hole. He then two putted from there. At the moment, it was unknown whether he made an 8 or a... Read more
