Where are we headed?

We see so much change taking place in this our United States, demonstrations (often not peaceful), anti-police and anti-establishment. History of our country destroyed by way of statues torn down, graffiti writing and burning. Much of this is being done by young and middle-aged persons, people of all colors, and seem to know no history or facts. Racism, anti-police and anti-establishment seem to be their calling card, really! Up until now we have had less discrimination in this country, and we have made great progress if anyone wants to look at the truth, we also need some further improvement. We…

COVID-19 and social unrest

As fatigued and despondent as many in our community and nation are regarding the continual onslaught of unfortunate news regarding Covid-19 and the social unrest and protests triggered by the George Floyd incident and death, it is prudent for Christian pastors to respond to the concerns our members and community at large have surrounding these current events. In every church, members are asking what this all means. For those whose interest is studying the apocalyptic nature of end times, this is a proverbial dress rehearsal for the future. Perhaps this is true. For others, the issue is more personal. It…

Credible sources for fact-checking, information

In light of Governor Ducey’s latest Executive Order, below is a list of some incredibly helpful, comprehensive local, state, and federal resources relative to the PREVENTION, PROTECTION, and IMPACT of coronavirus and COVID-19 as well as more specific information regarding the virus’s impact on UNEMPLOYMENT, VETERANS SERVICES, TAX CHANGES, TRAVEL ADVISORIES, and AVOIDING SCAMS and SCAMMERS.   I believe in the importance of information sharing, particularly as businesses continue to reopen with new, enhanced sanitation and physical distancing guidelines.  I hope you find this helpful.

Disregarding expert opinion is folly

Stupidity, hug? I wonder if the writer of the letter calling those of us who choose to wear masks and practice social distancing to protect ourselves and other from COVID-19 would, in his infinite wisdom, allow a surgeon to perform surgery on him without anyone in the O.R. wearing a mask? If has been well over a century ago the medical profession began postulating wearing gloves, masks, and using sterile equipment in a sterile environment, reduced nosocomial infections in post-op patients. Granted, there is now a fringe group questioning the veracity of such procedures. Just as there are those who…
