The Man Hating Spirit
The Man Hating Spirit
By Susan Skinner
The man-hating spirit is everywhere now (so is the woman hating, but that’s for another article). It’s a palpable, tangible presence. I know because it has attacked me before.

Are you losing the battle for your adult child's spiritual life?

When it comes to Life and Death, the Paradox that is Humanity is Inexplicable
When it comes to Life and Death, the Paradox that is Humanity is Inexplicable
By Larry Peterson
When the governor finished signing this bill, a suffocating wind exploded from the halls of the capitol caused by the cheers and screams of those upstanding “lawmakers” who had voted to legalize infanticide.

Offering One's Own Life to Save a Life vs. Rejoicing in Sanctions that Destroy Life; The Paradox that is Humanity is Inexplicable
By Larry Peterson
New York’s governor, Andrew Cuomo, signed into law the Reproductive Health Act, on January 22, 2019, the anniversary of Roe v. Wade. The intentional signing of this bill on that day and the cheering that followed brought me back to a day 40 years earlier. The date was September 6, 1978.

The Apostasy of Our Souls
The Apostasy of Our Souls
By Lorrie McNickle
I don’t know about you all, but I am really tired of people trying to legitimize sin and their absorption and promotion of it by trying to separate their religion and the beliefs and teachings they are bound and required to be committed to by stating that their private moral and religious duties are not tied to their public and political ones.

A Governor's Tale: Satire for the Empire State
By E.M. McCarthy
The elegant chandelier filled the conference room with light. Twelve men entered, dressed in tuxedos and smoking cigars. One carried a baseball bat, swinging it as he entered. If someone stumbled across the group, at first glance it would appear these were important men of high status and the observer would be right.
