Our Upside-Down World

Few politicians are offering real words of wisdom today. It was Abraham Lincoln who told us, “America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.” The following is a partial transcript of thoughts published on X from “The Executioner” podcast.

Glad to Escape the Humidity!

It’s hard to believe that I moved to Eddy County four weeks ago today. I had all of my things packed up by a moving company and spent my first night here on July 16, 2024. I spent two and a half weeks living in a hotel, waiting for my things to arrive. I will never use a moving company ever again. The only reason I did this time was because on March 19 of this year, I had my right hip replaced, so I wasn’t going to lift anything myself, at least not yet.

Years ago, Harry Emerson Fosdick, then at the height of his influence as minister of the Riverside Church, New York City, was making a tour of Palestine and other countries of the Near and Middle East. He was invited to give an address at the American University of Beirut, Lebanon, where the student body comprised citizens of many countries and representatives from sixteen different religions. What could one say that would be relevant or of interest to so mixed and varied a group? This is how Fosdick began: “I do not ask anyone here to change his religion; but I do ask all of you to face up to this question: What is your religion doing to your character?”
