This morning I received an excited email from the American Academy of Nursing – the Powers that Be in nursing. The jist of the message was how excited the board members were with President Joe Biden’s list of executive orders. I have always suspected that I did not think or value many of the things...

The Message, the Messenger, and the Platform
In our violently argumentative and abusive society, we not only disagree with each other, we want to destroy each other because we disagree.

A biopic of Clare Booth Luce. I realize that most people are not gifted with genius but few in the news can compete with what this woman accomplished in her life time. She exemplified the American dream: starting with “all the cards stacked against her” she managed to “pull herself up by her bootstraps.” Where...

Love your Neighbor
The United States Constitution was drafted as a document of rights and freedoms for the American people. Anyone reading the document can see the influence of Christian teachings running throughout. “Love thy neighbor’ is a continuing theme. It is emphasized repeatedly in the New Testament and is reflected in the Constitution. The responsibilities of citizens...
