This link opens a pdf of The Trump-Ukraine Impeachment Inquiry Report. It would probably be good for citizens of the United States to read this. ~Kindly
T-Chart Contrasting Two Leaders
Sometimes the words of leaders reflect their deeper core values. A t-chart is a good tool for looking at contrasting ideas and I found it instructive looking at these two leaders as one resigns from his position. ~Kindly
Strength to Speak Truth
I was impressed while listening to Fiona Hill's testimony. She has superior educational and professional credentials, but her clarity of thinking and communicating is amazing. She is unshakable and demonstrates integrity in every response. She also has the strength to speak truth in the face of powerful detractors, as the following quote reflects. I hope...

Paula White revisited…In the interest of my crap detector’s calibration
I should ignore this "religious leader's" words, but that's not good for my crap detector and runs the risk of knocking it out of calibration. An added benefit to looking at this "prayer" tweet is that she's got me reading the Book of Job, which I've long neglected. Seems like wishful and arrogant thinking to... Continue Reading →
Responding to Paula White’s “prayer”
Paula's "prayer" makes some serious assumptions. Here are my thoughts after reading. Words spoken against wrongs should NOT be turned back on the accuser. Accountability and oversight are NOT demonic setups. Calling mistakes “traps” set by others, Satan, or the Devil is an often-repeated script among religious and political cons. Adding “in the name of... Continue Reading →
Did we hire this guy?
Does Rudy Giuliana support the following logic senators are spouting? - I vote against an inquiry to look into any possible wrongdoing. - I think something wrong might have happened, but it wasn’t bad enough to punish. - How do I know this? I'm not sure. Are you following my logic? Prepare for more absurd... Continue Reading →

In the past I let things roll off without much thought when listening to religious leaders. Now, when I hear scripture used to make a point, it's an automatic red... Continue Reading →
Religious Corn Flakes
Reading Paula White's words is like eating religious corn flakes. The fallacy of her prosperity gospel is the belief that we can generate faith that will influence spiritual forces in our favor. Just keep on declaring and claiming it yells the preacher! I guess it's easier than working toward justice and trying to do right.... Continue Reading →
Is prayer a numbers game?
“If so many believers spent just a portion of the time praying for him that they spend complaining about and criticizing the president, there would be a lot more prayers being lifted up and much more good would be accomplished.” -Joseph Parker radio host I'm trying to unpack Joseph Parker’s meaning here. He clearly says... Continue Reading →
In rare agreement with Franklin Graham
Evangelical leader Franklin Graham has asked us to pray for President Trump again. I think that's a good idea. Graham said, “Pray for President Trump today, for God to give him wisdom, protection, and guide each and every step he takes." He then posted a t-shirt you can purchase on his website ($15.99=$3 shipping), modeled here by... Continue Reading →
