I saw a bumpersticker yesterday that said “Non-Judgement Day is Near”. At first it rattled my sensibilities—challenging as it was to my Christian training. But, after a thought or two, it brought a smile to my lips as I came to agree. Non-judgement day is not only near it has been here for a long…Continue reading It’s Christmas: Celebrate Non-Judgement Day!

Where Are the Men?
Jim and I have been watching a widening crack in the whitewash of political correctness. The politically correct narrative says we must go along with all the trends today.
