My Background

My professional career includes over 25 years as a programmer/analyst (mostly as a consultant) with a B.S. in Computer Technology from Purdue University. I was raised Catholic but accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior on my 18th birthday. I now attend a non-denominational Christian church. The more I learn, both general revelation and the Bible, the more I accept the inerrant Biblical Word of God.

I've been a FR lurker since 1997. A close friend of mine, Glenn, referred me to FreeRepublic. He often repeated the quote: "Common sense is not all that common anymore." unknown

Did you know the majority of medical schools no longer require doctors (M.D.) to take the Hippocratic Oath?

Did you know the majority of law schools also now teach that the separation of church and state originated in the U.S. Constitution?


Chiropractic - A Superior Alternative for Proactive Healthcare

I had been described as a type A personality, until 2004 when I started seeing a chiropractor. Best thing I've ever done for my health.

Did you know...

1) The brain, spine and nervous system form in the first 7 hours after conception.

2) Subluxations in the spine [ vertabrae out of alignment ] are often the root cause of many health problems and several signs of aging.

3) Approx 80% of all babies are born with spinal subluxations AND it only gets worse as we age. The stress and trauma of child-birth can cause subluxations for both mother and child.

4) The 3T's of subluxation are traumas, toxins and thoughts. Most everyday stress is caused by internal factors.

5) There are three 63 degree opposing arches in a healthy spine when viewed from the side.

6) Most subluxations occur in the top 7 cervical vertabrae. The average human head weighs about the same as a bowling ball. Ever tried carrying a bowling ball around all day, not with your wrist underneath but with the ball 2-3 inches in front of your wrist? That's what it's like if your posture leaves your head out in front of your shoulders.

7) The news media popularized the term 'quacks' when a chiropractor brought a lawsuit (Taylor vs AMA in 1971) against the American Medical Assn. Unfortunately, the MSM with it's stranglehold on information convinced the general population that chiropractors are 'quacks' in spite of Taylor winning the lawsuit!

8) For many years and many many prayers I asked God to help me overcome my stress, depression, and short-temper. Enduring much good advice from well-meaning friends and family, only 2 answers became evident of late. From Pastor Dan paraphrased "Only God is rightly appointed to the rage and anger on display with avenging evil, and God grants all true believers 7 gifts of the Holy Spirit with self-control being a much-needed gift all too often over-looked. The other answer was chiropractic. After just the 1st adjustment I felt relief and knew it was something I had needed all my life. I could now be a nice well-adjusted Christian to my fellow man with all truth and sincerity.

I highly recommend the book "Chicken Soup for the Chiropractic Soul" but you'll probably only find it online. Virtually no bookstore nor library I've encountered stocks it. It has many case studies that witness to the life-changing power of this procedure. Chiropractors follow the hypocratic oath of "First do no harm."


Two More Noteworthy Quotes

"While intelligent people can often simplify the complex, a fool is much more likely to complicate the simple." ~ Gerald W. Grumet [Sad to say this is apparently what is happening imho with the theory of evolution, they keep adding more time and complexity to make it credible.]

"Ideals are like stars; you will not succeed in touching them with your hands. But like the seafaring man on the desert of waters, you choose them as your guides, and following them you will reach your destiny." -- Carl Schurz (1829-1906) German-American political leader, journalist, and orator.


DNA - Simply Astounding Evidence for Our Creator God

The complexities encoded in DNA alone affirm a super-natural knowledge implanted in every living creature far superior to all of the computer code generated by mankind. Every living cell contains DNA, with only a few exceptions i.e. when red-blood cells shed their nucleus. DNA contains the estimated equivalence of 3 billion coded-letter sequences of A C T & G. If recorded in books, this code would form a stack equal to the height of the Washington Monument. It has been estimated that the number of messages communicated between the brain, spinal column, and nervous system numbers into the hundreds of trillions per second.

This awesome computer-like DNA code is:

1) distinctly crafted for reproducing each created kind,

2) self-correcting with a wide variety of healing processes,

3) a natural clock that confirms a young earth (see my links page),

4) unique within each kind due to gene selection/regression, variation, mutation, and adaptation,

5) highly-integrated, multi-faceted, inter-leaved, & redundant logic to minimize and/or eliminate copy errors,

6) pre-programmed with internal intelligence for maturation, survivability, & adaptability for external changes,

7) AND on display for all lifeforms throughout all natural history as a witness to the awesome power of God!!!
