Never Too Old to Chase Your Dreams
Diana Nyad just swam 110 miles from Cuba to Florida. She spent three days and two nights swimming at sea. She’s 64 years old. At a point where most people are preparing to flop into retirement, this person is being superhuman. After staggering onto the beach at Key West, she had three things to say. When someone achieves what she did, I listen. I hope you do too: “One is we should never ever give up.” “Two is you’re never too old to chase your dreams.” “Three it it looks like a solitary sport, but it’s a team.” Others have…
Google Glass–A Step Closer to Playing God
Soon you will be able to take photos, videos, audio recordings, ask directions, get information, and even translate yourself with a pair of glasses: Google Glass. This is one technology, like the smart phone, that could dramatically affect the way we live. Some people love it–for good reasons. Some people hate it–for good reasons.

The Zimmerman/Martin case has ignited many fires–from simplistic objections to the verdict (which given the charge vs. evidence could hardly have turned out any other way) to profound observations by even the nation’s president and others regarding the subtle biases and prejudices that linger. It’s easy for white people or others (Zimmerman is half Peruvian) to wonder why blacks protest at the verdict which came by clear adherence to the law as it related to the facts. It’s easy for black people to grow enraged at the whole system that appears okay on…
How Far Does The LGBT Agenda Go?
The gay marriage juggernaut is winning out. And it’s done so well that opinions across the country are changing astonishingly fast. But I don’t think for a minute that the agenda will stop there. The Los Angeles Times ran an article on why bisexuals are mostly still in the closet. Even gays tend not to favor them: You never know whom they’ll sleep with. Then we see this smiling family. The mom is a bisexual activist. Her husband seems okay with it. I suppose it’s a free country. But then they have their one (yes, one)-year-old son cheering them on…
Storms that Shatter Illusions
The madman violence of a tornado, especially the horrific one that hit south of Oklahoma City, makes one numb. After the numbness, one may well wonder. A lot. About life, death, and God. Where do you start and where do you end? What do you do in between? E-mail this Page.Tweet
