Practical vs. Moral Arguments and gun control
Gun Control and Moral thinking I typically don’t write a lot of politically charged articles on my website unless they are moral or biblical issues. For me, I prefer here to talk about moral, psychological, biblical and theological issues… stuff like that. I am certainly a political person and an opinionated one… but of all…Continue reading Practical vs. Moral Arguments and gun control

Danger Will Robinson! Family Internet Part 2
… I hear regularly about a child who gains access to internet porn via a portal that they were unaware existed! When I ask, parents tell me that they are careful about their children’s internet usage and access by telling me that the family computer is in a public space… or maybe they have put…Continue reading Danger Will Robinson!

The Family Internet – you cannot be ignorant – Part I
Managing the Family Internet For years, I have encouraged families to be smart about any version of adult sexuality that is “visible” in their homes, especially once they have children. For this reason, for years when I had been talking to parents with children around the age of 9, I had told them it was…Continue reading The Family Internet – you cannot be ignorant – Part I

Why Raising Taxes Lowers Government Income (over time) – Part I
The reason increasing taxes doesn’t increase income to the government long term, but reducing taxes does… or at least can. In advance, I want to express my understanding that I am oversimplifying what has become a very complex issue. Let me also make clear that this principle doesn’t work ad infinitum (you cannot increase tax…Continue reading Why Raising Taxes Lowers Government Income (over time) – Part I
Post Abortion Healing Help
I have done post-abortion healing counseling groups a few times in the past – it is powerful, painful, redemptive, live-giving, and one of the toughest thing I have ever done for people… If anyone out there wants/needs to talk about this issue, I would love to talk about it with you… and am so proud…Continue reading Post Abortion Healing Help
Singing in Saint Ann's Church
This was my third time to take a pilgrimage in Israel – to walk the paths of the saints and prophets… There are few places in the world that truly “still” me. Two or three of them are there. Arbel is the first and most potent. Maybe I will write more on that someday. Another…Continue reading Singing in Saint Ann's Church

A new way of thinking about Emotions?
Emotions – a new understanding I have written that recently my understanding of what emotions are has grown – or maybe, rather, shrunk… My understanding has grown simplified. I think that our emotions are largely our heart and soul communicating with our bodies. I have written more about this part of it… here The basic…Continue reading A new way of thinking about Emotions?
My Israel experience with a Hamas missile aka how I learned to appreciate the iron dome
At about 4:30 (Israel time, that’s about 8:30am Texas time, ya’ll), the Womenary group (from Tyler Texas. www.womenary.com) Israel trip was walking near the ancient port in Jaffa. Maybe you remember it as “Joppa” from Sunday School – the town where Jonah fled to find a ship to Tarshish, seeking to avoid God’s call to…Continue reading My Israel experience with a Hamas missile aka how I learned to appreciate the iron dome
Thoughts from Israel
I guess I should explain that I am in Israel right now, in Jerusalem, helping guide a tour for the Womenary ministry that I am a part of… we are on day 6 of a 7 day tour! First, to calm fears… Yes, there was some rioting in Jerusalem today and some people were…Continue reading Thoughts from Israel
Boundaries, Abuse and Terrorism
Good Boundaries, Healthy Relationships, and Terrorists One of the greatest signs of an unhealthy relationship is when one person takes on the responsibility for the bad conduct and strong emotions of the other. This is common in unhealthy relationships, by the way. An abused wife often finds herself in a constant frenzy in…Continue reading Boundaries, Abuse and Terrorism

Making People Dependent
There are a lot of old stories about Joseph Stalin. Like most tyrants, he inspired legends and tales. Who knows if this one is true? If you don’t know who he was, just consider than under his leadership, probably 4 times as many people were murdered by his government than the people under the…Continue reading Making People Dependent
Favorite Soundtracks
While I work, I listen to movie soundtracks (and some other classical music mixed in). I regularly get asked about them, so I thought I would offer these and see what kind of responses I get back, too! The movie may be important – and sometimes the memories of cool or powerful scenes connected to…Continue reading Favorite Soundtracks
