Cancel Culture vs. 40 Days for Life

John, "Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." --Matthew 11:29 The Cancel Culture seeks to bully into silence and inaction those it disagrees with... ...but 40 Days f…

2020 gets a bad rap

John, This year has been painful, so 2020 rightly has a bad rap... ...but I believe 2019 was worse and one of the most shameful years for the United States--and for the example we set for the world. With that perspective in mind, we see FIVE p…

What DOESN'T reduce abortions

John, "Don't like abortion, don't have one!" This new approach taken by hardcore abortion advocates has replaced making abortion "safe and rare." "Safe and rare" implies there's something wrong with or messy about abortion. One group has not ad…
