Our nation is in a scary place: Psalm 9:17 “The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.” For years our nation has kicked God and the Bible out of every area of life. Sadly, even some pastors have ignored or diluted the word of God to please the people. Read more

For the past few years, oligarchs on the right and anarchists on the left have turned father against mother, brother against sister, child against parent, neighbor against neighbor, and Christian against Christ. Read more

As a teacher, I told my son at 16, you will need to work to help pay for your health care. We are lucky enough that we can pull our resources together and pay for what we need.

There is nothing offensive about West Virginia’s flag, other than how boring it is. Our state has a proud and rich history that should be celebrated in a unique flag we can all be proud of.

The following advice from President Trump’s former chief of staff, Gen. John F. Kelly, seems very appropriate in these times: “We need to look infinitely harder at who we elect to any office in our land – at the office seeker’s character, at their morals, at their ethical record, their integ… Read more

There can be no contentment … Read more

There’s a story told at Christmastime of an old shoemaker and his guests. In the story, it was Christmas Eve and the cobbler had just gotten to sleep when he had a dream that tomorrow the Lord was going to pass by his window and, if he bid him to enter, the Lord would be his guest. How excit… Read more

As an independent, the election results have concerned me. Why, because I believe Trump won the election. So how do I arrive at my conclusion?

As we look back on America’s founding, it is easy to forget the difficulties and sacrifices our forefathers faced.
