For all of those who missed church yesterday, I simply say you are missing out on the most important things you could possibly do in worshipping God, especially on such a Holy day. Yes, it is more important than watching the Masters, or going to the lake or beach, a bar, or attending the best Easter Egg hunt in the world . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2023/04/the-best-of-times/

Today marks the day that Christ was crucified and laid to rest in a tomb. I designated it as a paid holiday in all the various companies I’ve owned, and I encouraged our employees to take this day off and enjoy it with their families and make a worship-filled spiritual weekend out of it . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2023/04/celebrate-the-death/

It seems that being a transgender (trans) is now in vogue. Surprisingly to me little is heard of feminists opposing it. For example, these women who will seemingly fight to the death to be recognized as equals to men in every area, now stand by silently as men (who claim to be women) compete in women’s sports programs. Not surprisingly women’s sports has been decimated and is dominated by men posing as women athletes. Brave women go against genetically bigger and stronger men . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2023/04/playing-with-fire-2/

Dawkins tweeted earlier this month that perhaps something like eating lab grown meats such as rats or pork could be done with human flesh, which would assist western culture in shedding yet another irrational remnant of its Judeo-Christian roots. He went on to explain more of his twisted rationale by saying: Eating lab-grown human meat would provide an “interesting test case for consequentialist morality versus ‘yuck reaction’ absolutism,” which keeps people from doing things just because they seem morally repugnant . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2023/04/anyone-want-to-be-a-cannibal/

Few things are more enjoyable than the spring turkey season. This morning I walked outside to see what the weather was doing, and I could see innumerable stars twinkling away. I’ve read that what we can see as stars with the naked eye are actually huge galaxies as large or larger than our own. The wind is calm this morning, and I could hear an owl hooting back towards the huge oak bottom where I intend to hunt this morning . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2023/04/turkeys/

I had a conversation with a man the other day that is not unlike many others whom I have heard from over the last 25 years of writing Words for the Day five days a week. He was critical and made a point of telling me he doesn’t agree with everything I write. Hmmm . . . I don’t know of anyone on this earth whom I agree with 100% of the time. Thus, I am not offended . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2023/04/head-above-the-clover/

A friend on Facebook sent me the following article written by VICTOR DAVIS HANSON, entitled Are We The Byzantines? . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2023/03/are-we-the-byzantines/

We all get to a point in our lives where we stop and say, “I have no idea where God is taking me.” We all have struggled at one time or another to understand God’s plan. Understanding it can be difficult when the world around us is darker than ever. We don’t know what’s going to happen next, but we know that our God is good and anything that happens through Him will be good. We all desperately want to know God’s plan for us. If we know, then we can work extremely hard in the direction that we are meant to go . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2023/03/grit-your-teeth-but-dont-get-angry/

A friend responded to my post about the Mississippi tornadoes recently and then told me of his connection with the family of one of the nine-year-old girls who was gunned down by the homosexual in Nashville Tennessee . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2023/03/almost-unbearable-grief/

I watched the movie Saving Private Ryan the other night and it reinforced my belief that young people who did not have knowledge of Hitler and World War Two have no idea what dictators and evil people can do to destroy the lives of ordinary people. Those of us who were raised during the war and the decade after its aftermath understand all too well what the price of the freedom that we enjoy entails. It did not just happen. Patriots sacrificed their lives . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2023/03/heart-hole/
