We have been hearing about the controversy over the suspension of Phil Robertson from Duck Dynasty. He was interviewed for GQ and made various comments. But, of course, only two sets of comments have drawn attention. And it was those that had to do with homosexuality and with race relations in Louisiana prior to civil […]
Unhappy Federal employees
I am a Federal employee unhappy with the Federal government, and I am not alone. Job satisfaction among federal government workers dropped to an all-time low in 2013, according to a new study out Wednesday ranking the best and worst places to work in the federal government.

Ruts
Have you ever found yourself in a rut? Ruts are odd things. Sometimes they are good, and sometimes they are not so good. The photograph above shows a not so good rut. The car is stuck in a rut so deep that it is in a ditch. So what is a rut? In a negative […]
Actors, theater, Christianity
