    An American Icon – A Powerful Story

    “I was my high school’s valedictorian and in Georgia, that meant being invited to a reception at the Governor’s Mansion. My family didn’t have a car, so that morning, my parents and I took the bus from DeKalb to Buckhead. We arrived at the Governor’s Mansion and walked up the side of the driveway, next to the cars carrying valedictorians from across the state. But when we reached the guard gate, a guard stepped out, looked at us and said, “You don’t belong here. This is a private event.” He took one look at us walking up from the bus and assumed I couldn’t possibly be one of the valedictorians. My parents set him straight and we were eventually allowed in. But I don’t remember meeting the governor that day. What I remember is a man standing in front of the most powerful place in Georgia, telling me I didn’t belong.” 1

  • Andy Biggs a Criminal? Asks for Pardon

    Andy Biggs “Appears” to Have Committed a Crime

    “U.S. Rep. Andy Biggs of Arizona asked for a presidential pardon following the Jan. 6 attack of the U.S. Capitol, a former aide to Donald Trump’s Chief of Staff said during testimony shown Thursday. Cassidy Hutchinson, who served as an aide for Mark Meadows, testified she personally heard from Biggs about requesting a pardon. “Mr. Biggs did,” Hutchinson said. Biggs and five other House Republicans sought the pardons from Trump that would shield them from criminal prosecution, according to testimony. Blanket pardons for all those involved in Jan. 6 were also discussed, according to another White House aide, John McEntee. 2

    The aide said this under oath who has no reason to lie. Biggs has denied saying this under oath. Who should you believe? Perhaps Biggs should comply with the subpoena and then officially correct the record.

  • GoDaddy Supports Women’s Rights

    Thanks Goodness for Progressive Companies Like GoDaddy

    “We’re deeply concerned by the recent changes that limit reproductive rights,” GoDaddy officials said in a statement. “Limiting these rights impacts the ability for people to pursue success on their own terms, which is core to our mission to empower entrepreneurs everywhere, making opportunity more inclusive. That is why a few weeks ago we announced internally that we would be extending our U.S. health benefits to cover travel and travel-related costs for abortion-related and other healthcare needs for employees and their covered spouses and dependents on our health plan.” 3

  • Happiness Causes Lots of Good Things to Happen in Your Life

    Happiness Causes Lots of Good Things to Happen in Your Life

    Smiling Fruit

    We’ve all heard the phrase: “Don’t worry, be happy.” While it may sound trite, numerous medical and psychological studies show that this is sound advice to live by. These studies found that that happiness causes good things to happen across a number of fronts. For example, happy people have higher incomes, more fulfilling marriages, healthier lifestyles, better relationships, superior work performance, are more involved with their communities, have better health and live longer lives. In addition, happy people are more optimistic, kind, have more energy and are less likely to have heart problems. As Dr. Karina Davidson, of the Columbia University Medical Center put it, “If you are not a naturally happy person, try acting like one.” Doing things like cooking a meal for someone who is sick or grieving, slowing down in traffic to allow someone can cut in front of you, running an errand for someone, or doing something to brighten another person’s day can cause these same good things to happen in your life.

  • A Camel Through the Eye of a Needle

    Bible Translators Got It Wrong

    In Aramaic, the word for “camel” (גמלא) is spelled identically to the word for “rope” (גמלא).

    When Jesus spoke to the fishermen, they knew exactly what he meant.

    Then, of course, there are many other translations. Oh my, what to believe.
