Introduction and Index

Wreck of the Sea Venture 1609 Samuel Jordan was evidently the first Jordan to settle in English America. Some reports say that Samuel was born in Lyme Regis, Dorsetshire, England, and his birth year is given as 1575 or 1578.  Other sources indicate that he was born in the adjoining county of Wiltshire.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

In recent years I have addressed a letter to family and friends at Christmas time. I am attaching this year’s letter. God bless you all. Dear Family and Friends, It’s a busy time of the year, and I don’t know how many of you will take a few minutes to read this, but I want […]

A Deficit of Magnanimity

In his public postings and comments President Trump sometimes exhibits a lack of magnanimity or high mindedness. He tends to kick a political opponent when he down — or even dead. This embarasses many of his followers, especially those who call themselves Christians. On December 15, Trump wrote on Truth Social: “A very sad thing […]

Merry Christmas

I apologize for being silent the past few weeks. I went south to be with my son Harold and family for Thanksgiving. Son Eric and his wife Julie drove us down, and it was a grand visit. Together at our Thanksgiving feast were two sons, two daughters-in-law, three grandchildren, one grandson-in-law, two great grandchildren, two […]

The Race is On

 The race  between MAGA Republicans and Democrat progressives is on.  Who will win? Trump has transformed the Republican Party.  Most Republicans appear to support his bold plan to transform America.  He hopes to revive American industries and create an economic golden age.  He plans to achieve this by the application of tariffs, deregulation, and lower […]

An Infectious Madness

On July 12, 2024, and September 16 and 17, 2025, I wrote articles about so-called “Otherkins” and “Therians.” Some reporters are now refering to them as “Furries.” These particular trangender persons identify themselves as different sorts of sexually active animals with a proclivity toward deviancy. Charlie Kirks assassinTyler Robinson and his roommate Lance Twiggs were […]

The Great Divide

I recently tuned into a conversation between Katie Couric and Senator John Fetterman about the late Charlie Kirk. I was surprised by Couric’s harsh criticism and apparently strong disapproval of the young conservative ‘s message. I must admit that I had not been a close follower of Kirk. After all, his primary appeal was to […]

Sunday School Lesson #1

From time to time I present a Sunday School lesson at my church. Perhaps it is foolish of me to do so, but I decided to share extracts from a few of these lessons on my blog. I hope you enjoy them. LESSON ONE Every other Sunday in my church we celebrate Holy Communion.  Rarely […]

Death of a Patriot

As I wrote this on November 4th, I had just read about the death of Dick Cheney, former Vice-President and long time member of the Republican establishment. He had been suffering severe health problems for years, and he was more or less out of the public eye since 2009. I always respected Cheney. As a […]

LGBT Rage

I touched on this subject in my September 22nd post, less than two weeks following the murder of Charlie Kirk. I believe it’s worth a revisit. As you examine incidents of violence on college campuses and in the public square, you will find that transgenders engage in acts of violence in disproportinate numbers. They appear […]
