Digital Directions: Caught in the Cattle Chute

Posted on February 5, 2026 by RC

Defending Loose Cannons, and Trump’s Loose Tongue

Posted on December 18, 2025 by RC

The charge of hypocrisy sticks. Perhaps because we are all worse than our own standard. We rebuke the other guy, only to find that we too are guilty. The only good news I can offer is that it works both … Continue reading →

What does Semper Reformanda, always reforming mean?

Posted on November 24, 2025 by RC

What is the devil’s game? Lord of the Lies

Posted on November 17, 2025 by RC

We move too fast over God’s Word. I fear we skim lightly over the very voice of God, and so miss its thundering, reverberating tones. We are too hurried to allow the tension to build, the drama to heighten to … Continue reading →
