Spiritually Ripped. Physically Fit. Fully Equipped.

Let’s Talk About Fitness Fitness is a multi-billion dollar industry because most people love the idea of being fit. The problem is most people wind up pursuing their fitness goals rather than realizing them because they fail to reinforce their resolve with something that goes beyond themselves. If that doesn’t immediately resonate in your mind […]

Is America More Depraved Than Other Nations?

The questions is, “Is America more depraved than other nations?” This comes from the questions that are voiced in the context of the debate pertaining to gun control. Some want to believe that increased legislation will solve the problem of gun related crime, others are insisting that it has nothing to do with laws as […]

Shaking Hands With the Devil

This is part of what makes the Progressive narrative easy to disassemble. While they sit there and scream their accusations, insisting that Trump is against Women’s Rights (which is code for you won’t fund abortion) and is a Racist (which is code for while you are open to engaging racism as a topic, you refuse […]

Illegal Immigration Q&A

There was a video on Facebook that was highlighting some of the heartbreak a town was feeling in light of their illegal immigrant neighbors having been deported.  Some of the comments made were critical of Trump and accused him of being a Nazi – as though enforcing immigration law was akin to fascism. Here’s my […]

110 Rules of Civility and Good Behavior

By age sixteen, Washington had copied out by hand, 110 Rules of Civility & Decent Behavior in Company and Conversation. They are based on a set of rules composed by French Jesuits in 1595.

No one in their right mind is going to say that they hate God. But pause for a minute. Let’s pop the hood on […]

I’m currently reading “The Churchill Factor: How One Man Made History.” Its a great read in that you’re getting some insight into a man that, while he was […]

Youth and Consequences

I saw this trailer and while I’m not sure what the overall message of the plot may be, it’s hard not to think of the way in which the Left has so effectively used students to give more visibility and credibility to their spin on gun control in recent days. Here’s what I’m thinking… So, […]

Waterdare

The “Waterdare” (pronounced Water Dare) is nothing more than a group exercise where you’re resolving to drink a gallon of water in the space of 12 hours. That’s 32 oz every 3 hours! That’s nothing, right? It isn’t really. But for whatever reason, it doesn’t always happen. And that’s why asserting an element of accountability […]

Gun Control – Locks Don’t Stop Thieves

I remember in Boot Camp my Drill Instructor once said that locks don’t stop thieves, they just keep honest people honest. I had to think about that for a minute, but once I got my mental arms around what he was saying, I realized he had a point. Locks are like laws. They don’t prevent […]
