Since Jackson primarily belongs to my wife, and she’s away, I decided to videotape this Kodak moment for her.

Today was my first time putting our boat in the water since we moved to Tennessee. Since my wife’s still in California, I took my puppy Caliber with me. The purpose for this trip was not to fish but to explore and experience our river system. But I did briefly troll from the launching ramp

This is not my first Chicken rodeo, but it is our first flock of chickens in Tennessee. This morning at exactly 10:00 AM I heard our Chickens going nuts, and the Bantom Rooster was in overdrive. Since Bantams are small, he has a Napoleon complex. But this time I think he was singing “Macho macho macho

As I visit churches in the Bible Belt looking for a healthy and Biblical church to join, besides egalitarianism, I am consistently seeing this anomaly. The Bible is rarely used in their Bible studies or Sunday schools. And is being replaced by corporate publications. For example. The use of workbooks and study guides published by

Years ago, while visiting my first Reformed church, I asked a fellow, “When and where does your men’s ministry meet?” He replied, “We don’t have one; they’re not Biblical!” That took me aback. But being taken aback is a good thing. I didn’t fight it. I investigated it and learned the difference between my wrong

I’m not criticizing prayer, as Paul said pray without ceasing. And Christians are to be ready in season and out of season. But it looks like pastors and the public school system are having back-to-school prayer specials. They even post photos of pastors and professing Christians touching the doors and doorknobs of classrooms as they

Tonight, these four Deer were eating in our backyard. We have much more Deer than this daily on our property. But they are very camera shy, and usually, run away when they see us. This time I managed to open the squeaky door to capture this. My lens was set at 300mm. The one looking

As stated before, our front porch is a great place to relax. Today we were visited by a Luminescent Luna Moth. Our porch is also frequented by various Wildlife, Synchronous Fireflies, and some of the largest Butterflies. And sometimes we have a camera ready just in time. “If you have never seen a pearly crescent

Here’s more commentary from our porch. Update: The frog made Caliber very sick, and so she was close to taking a trip to the emergency animal hospital. Thankfully she recovered overnight. I was advised this creature is a Cicadas. They are good for the ecological environment.

According to the ideals of our nation, what Coach Joe Kennedy said was accurate but not Biblical. Though we benefit from the constitution, according to the Scriptures, there is only one true God and faith. This post will anger those who have made idols of sports, America, or the constitution. But we need to think

My new 5’x8′ Gadsden Flag flying underneath the Tennessee flag. My Gadsden flag is not for looks; it is a warning. It is not offensive, it is defensive. In other words, I will not come to your home, office, or capitol to cause you trouble. But on the defense, if necessary, I am prepared to

Recently after visiting another church here in the “Bible Belt,” I posted the following on my Facebook wall. “Visited another church this morning. Immediately upon entering the building it looked like a scene from the movie Jaws. Then the sanctuary looked like the beach, even a surfboard, shorts, and guitars on the stage. I’ve come

I don’t think there’s one piece of American history that’s been more misunderstood, distorted, and revised than the Confederate flag. Sadly, alleged conservatives continue to cower to the left. And so, in defense of this flag, I post this.

Today I attempted to attend my first gun show in Tennessee. While waiting in line outside, I heard them warn over the Public Adress system, “No CCWs were allowed inside.” That is why Tennessee has an unusually high incidence of firearms stolen from vehicles. Too many private venues or businesses won’t allow them inside. So,
