How much is a human life worth? Pro life people have often been accused of believing that life begins at conception and ends at birth. That’s not true. The pro life people I know have fought for the sanctity of human life under the law with heroic persistence. They have endured decades of defeat and kept on believing and working to save lives. They are also some of the most loving, forgiving and generous people it has ever been my privilege... Read more
I wrote a post a couple of days ago that set all sorts of nerves ajangle. I had the temerity to say that we live in a rape culture, and that women who come forward when they’ve been assaulted are treated like dirt. It didn’t surprise me a bit that I got a lot of pushback with that. I’ve been advocating for victims of sexual assault all my adult life. I was one of the six founders of the YWCA... Read more
Caiaphas murdered Jesus in a judicial murder. He used bribes, perjury and political clout to have an innocent man beaten, tortured and hideously murdered in a degrading and agonizing manner. Even if Caiaphas did not know he was killing God in human form, he certainly did know he was murdering an innocent man. Scripture records the discussion where the Pharisees decided to have Jesus killed. Their reason was political expedience. Or other, it was rationalized self-excuse. Jesus, they told one... Read more
Businesses are opening and people are beginning to go out again. Unfortunately, the pandemic does not appear to be finished. In some states that are re-opening, the death rate curve has reversed its downward trend and is heading up once again. I am hopeful that the hot weather will slow the virus’ ability to transmit itself. That would flatten the curve for a few months and give us a chance to roll out a vaccine. Dr Fauci has said that a vaccine by... Read more

My dear readers, My mother died last week. I’m posting the communications I posted on my Facebook page to bring you up to speed. Blessings and love to each of you. April 22. Friends, I talked to my mother on FaceTime today, and she looked so much worse. The nurse just called me and said Mama is “winding down.” If she’s still here, I think they are going to let me in to see her tomorrow. I’ve been hermetically... Read more

Yet another study has shown that hydroxychloroquine not only does not help with COVID-19, it is associated with a higher death rate for patients who took it. From CNN: CNN)Coronavirus patients taking hydroxychloroquine, a treatment touted by President Trump, were no less likely to need mechanical ventilation and had higher deaths rates compared to those who did not take the drug, according to a study of hundreds of patients at US Veterans Health Administration medical centers. The study, which reviewed... Read more
This is going to be very short. It’s more of a palate cleanser than a post. I just have a few brief messages for the stupids out there in the hustings who’ve been running their mouths and saying — predictably — stupid things that could end up hurting other people. For the stupids who are carting their big guns around demonstrating against the rules designed to keep their foolish selves alive while using their little brains to run their mouths:... Read more
