In the past 20 years, we have watched the world drastically change because of the Internet. Entire industries and services have either been consolidated or eliminated. Internet telecommunication has brought about a less personal, and some may feel a more hostile environment because of isolation in the home and workplace. And now AI promises to continue an even faster pace of technological growth, where even more industries will be swallowed up by robots with artificial intelligence. GOOD NEWS WANTS TO KNOW…How would you counsel your soon-to-be-graduating children or grandchildren on how to better prepare for their future, knowing that some […]

At a recent Sunday church service at Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale, Lead Pastor Doug Sauder said, “Famous last words” and at first it seemed to be humorously presented as just that: a little humor, then he gave numerous examples with biblical citations, too many to jot down at that moment. Later, I thought hmm, one that I remembered and did write down, “They couldn’t hit an elephant from this dist…” Attributed to Major General John Sedgwick, during the American Civil War at the battle of Spotsylvania Court House on May 9, 1864.

During June the LGBTQ+ coalition bombards the airwaves and parties in the streets, celebrating the behaviors and attitudes of people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual, queer, intersexual and asexual.  To be clear, Pride Month isn’t about securing the right to act out their sexuality privately without negative repercussions. Quite the opposite: it is about celebrating their sexual preferences publicly through parades, public parties and rainbow flags in the streets. What’s more, it’s about pressuring our […]
