Future Secession? Part 1

New Legislation First, let me note that 7 other states plus DC already had similar laws in place to the ones that NY just passed.

My goal is…Continue reading Report on Recent Abortion Laws in NY – part 1
Of Course There is Toxic Masculinity – part 2
Go back and read part 1 if you haven’t yet.

Social Justice – Part II
Go back to part I, if you want to get the background.

Once I heard a story preached that I think makes some great points about our roles as men in our families, and especially our marriages.
