Quite simply, it is IMHO the most proper tribute to the music of Rich Mullins that I have heard. Honestly, it is probably one of the best albums released this year in the Christian music genre. Go listen to it. It is worthy of five stars. A Liturgy, A Legacy, […]
Sons of Scotland, I am William Wallace…
I love this part in Braveheart when William Wallace(played by Mel Gibson) shows up at the battle lines of Sterling Bridge and announce who he is. One would imagine that many who would fight in that battle had maybe never met him. Many of the combatants had likely answered the […]

Make Kingsport Great Again: A Blueprint To a Better Future
Too many meth heads. Too many people dealing drugs. On top of that, we are building far too many multi-residential buildings which are government subsidized. Lynn Garden, which used to be just a normal community, has been over-run by drug users and their suppliers. Why is that? They have a […]
A Devotion: I Corinthians 13
This verse has been on my mind recently. I was once asked to write my Philosophy of Education. It was embarrassingly slick w/ lots of buzz words from that era. But if I had to rewrite it, I would simply reference I Corinthians 13 – all of it. No matter […]
Why Great Teachers and Administrators Often Don’t Fit In
You need to set aside a few minutes and listen to these words by Billy Graham. I am going to link a video where Billy Graham speaks to those who God calls to a specific purpose. Graham’s words hit the mark… Rejection(in your life) is not a punishment. It is […]
Heaven and Hell: John Burke on The Shawn Ryan Show
In this world where evil seems to increase, God’s presence has matched and exceeded it. I wanted to do a follow-up post to what I had published last week. So, I am sort of bumping that post, because I think what Burke said is incredibly powerful. What I write after […]
Q&A: Is There a Hell?
I believe it is the responsibility of believers to be truthful. Part of that truth? There is a hell, and we don’t want to go there. A good friend of mine once told me, “Don’t settle for a lesser Jesus.” Jesus talked a lot about hell. He loved us enough […]
We Must Guard the Hearts and Minds of Our Children (Part II)
I taught for 21 years. My career began before we had a single computer(in an entire school) which was connected to the internet. My career ended with iPads, iPhones, smart watches, wifi, and a single classroom which likely had a collection of 30+ devices within it at any given time. […]
We Must Guard the Hearts and Minds of Our Children (Part I)
If you believe that evil exists(and surely you do after this past week), then you must know that righteousness also exists. We must lead our children in the ways of righteousness. Wide is the path to destruction, and narrow is the path the to eternal life(only through Jesus). If you […]
Charlie Kirk and the Current Reality
When I sent my kids to school the day after the murder of Charlie Kirk, I told them not to speak about it at school. My warning (about not discussing politics at school) has been uttered many times over the years. Conservatives have to be careful in public schools – […]
