Curtis Granderson: the Great Unifier

Absolutely anything can turn into an argument on social media. The most innocuous comment can draw a sharp tongued response from a fellow social media user with a chip on their shoulder. We can’t agree on anything these days. America is sharply divided by ideology: Democrat, Republican, faithful, Atheist, does pineapple belong on pizza or not,…
Joel Osteen is a Victim of His Own Success

Earlier this week Hurricane Harvey his the Gulf Shore of Texas. This storm has caused major damage and flooding to the city of Houston. Harvey is being called a once in five hundred year storm.

I Forgot My Phone

I forgot my phone at work on Friday evening. At least I think so it may be lost somewhere for good. I thought about going back to get it since I have access to the office but between not wanting to make the drive back, heavy rain and not wanting to see anyone at work…
Donald Trump is NOT a Christian

Donald Trump is not a Christian. There is absolutely no way. Even if you only go to church around Christmas and on Easter you should know enough about our Lord and Savior to know that Trump is not patterning himself after Him. We all fall short, we all stumble and I think we are all…
Black on the Fourth of July

This week America celebrated the Fourth of July. I don’t do a lot to observe the holiday because I do not have a lot of family in the area and I don’t have much experience cooking on the grill. I don’t have children so I don’t buy fireworks. But I did enjoy the day off…

Walk the Walk is a fashion show that is sponsored by Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce that benefits a children’s charity called Operation Breakthrough. I learned about the event on Travis’ Facebook page and decided to go. I like to go…
Instagram Culture

It’s time for an Instagram cultural revolution. I really enjoy Instagram. It’s frivolous, light hearted entertainment. It is my favorite social media platform. It’s fun to see people tell their stories and express themselves through visual images. Instagram is very well suited for those of us that are nosey. I have learned the darnedest things about…
#churchflow

#churchflow is a popular hashtag on Instagram that features users in their Sunday best. This is a post about fashion not about faith.
The Las Vegas Raiders

So the Oakland Raiders are moving to Las Vegas. The Raiders are not my team so I’m not very interested in what they do. I don’t care for Las Vegas so I don’t have much concern about what happens there. But I don’t think this move to Vegas is a good idea. And I don’t think…
