I didn’t think it possible to grow more jaded. Sometimes I underestimated myself. But perhaps you understand. What with all the corrupt media,the war mongers (both foreign and domestic), and all the other miscellaneous liars and hypocrites perforating the peace I find that my capacity for being jaded has not yet maxed out. Unfortunately.Being jaded is like being burned out…only with more cynicism: two things I do not need more of at my age. Plus weariness is catching and cynicism spreads as fast as the latest WuFlu variant. So…Full steam ahead! When I can no longer rely on coffee to...

The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board took the action Sunday in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

“At the Transfiguration: Moses, a Mountain, and an Exodus” (Luke 9:28-36)Today is the Transfiguration of Our Lord. It’s the last Sunday of the Epiphany season before we enter Lent this week on Ash Wednesday. Our text is Luke’s account of the Transfiguration. In all three accounts, in Matthew, Mark, and Luke, we see Jesus transfigured, on a mountain, standing with Moses and Elijah, talking with them. Only in Luke, though, do we find out what they were talking about. And so our theme this morning: “At the Transfiguration: Moses, a Mountain, and an Exodus.” Moses? A mountain? An exodus? Our...

Someone asked Donald Trump, a few days ago, how he has stood up without breaking from the onslaught of fake news and false accusations they have thrown at him for years. He said he wasn't sure how he survived it but was sure most couldn't. And he is right. Donald Trump isn't just an ordinary person like most of us. Many years ago, a huge survey was taken asking the participants what was the most mentally distressing thing that could happen to them. The vast majority agreed that being falsely accused of something heinous was the most devastating. That is...
