Ever since I returned from Cambridge, England in 1991, I have wished I could go back. There's just no other place on Earth like it. If I was told I only had a year to live, I'd pull up stakes and spend my last days in Cambridge. King's College Chapel, back side, from the River …

Windows on Wednesday
What is a window? It's an opening in a wall or a door, normally contains glass, and lets light into the room or building. As an opening, it is often said that the human eye is a "window into the soul". And a book, or a treatise, can be said to "open a window" into …

Weekly Photo Challenge…Solitude

America in the Trump Administration
The Dream. President Trump (yes, all you scared-rabbit Liberals, HE WON), goes to Joint Base Andrews, to greet the return home of a flag-draped casket of a Seal Team member killed in action. No pomp, no circumstance, just bowed heads and prayers for the soul of one brave man killed in action. Trump selects Judge …

Gabriel has worked tirelessly for his country, eliminating terrorists of every stripe, all over the world. His first wife, Leah, who for years has lived in a psychiatric hospital in Israel, was made insane by …
