Here and There
- Solomon wrote there will be no end of the writing of books. If he lived now, he would decry the endless cacophony of electronic verbiage. Page after page of endless, mindless tripe. People selling something; people saying something. No body reading anything! If the page doesn't have pictures, [click] the viewer is gone. Everyone is looking for entertainment. No one is looking for substance. But we keep on writing and we think someone will read it. Oh, how we deceive ourselves -- convinced of our own immortality. Words, words, words . . . - cominus

Jackie Juntti’s Dad – Jack Case
Jack Case and Rex, the Wonder Horse, should be an American institution. As it is, few people have heard of Jack Case. He was the father of my friend, Jackie Juntti. In the thirties and forties, he was a favorite at rodeos all across the nation. He was a stunt man and double for Tom [...]

Elderly scam in Lewis County
This just in from my friend, Don Lynch: I don’t know how widespread this is, but I do know it is happening on a continued basis right here in Lewis County. I don’t know all the parties either. I had thought it was centered on Riverside Nursing and Rehab Center in Centralia. However, I have [...]
The Obama Blagojevich Connection
This is from David Crowe, RestoreAmerica.org “In Chicago, January 2003, Barack Obama was chairman of The (State) Senate Health & Human Services Committee and played a major role in pushing through Senate Bill 1332. The Bill reduced the number of (Planning) Board members from 15 to 9, making votes easier to pass. Board members would [...]
From My Friend to Encourage Us to be Faithful
This was sent by my friend, John Beal. Not certain the author. At the end of the poem, I have attached one of my favorite verses. May this bless you as it blessed me. God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform: He plants His footsteps upon the sea, And rides upon the [...]
Titus and Philemon – 13 December 2008
Titus chapter one: The key verse is in the greeting: “. . . the knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness.” [v1] In other words, sound doctrine leads us to proper obedience. Paul warned later in verse twelve, “Cretans are always liars, evil brutes, lazy gluttons.” So, it appears Paul’s purpose in writing to [...]
2Timothy: 12 December 2008
2Timothy, chapter one: v3f – Paul remembered to pray constantly for his brother in the faith and he admonished him to “fan into flame” what the Lord had given him. This reminds me of Php 2:12-13: Paul tells us to work out our salvation with fear and trembling for it is God who works in [...]

Swedes Confront Shift to Right
Amy Goodman’s editorial today is somewhat confusing. Her article generally espouses her leftist leanings but she ends the article with a warning against the leftward shift in America. The article titled, “Swedes Confront Shift To Right,” begins with recounting the origin of the Nobel Prize and the current celebration in Sweden. Then, she continues with [...]
Lawyers For Liberty
This just came in today. Last night, I was talking with the registered agent for Judicial Forum and suggested we allow the corporate registration to lapse. So, while Judicial Forum is fazing out, another conservative group is being formed. The last few years have seen several “conservative” judicial watch organizations form. All of them proved [...]
