What the Bag Boy Said
I let him help me out to my truck. He was a supermarket bag boy. Maybe 19. Nice kid. Reddish hair. Warm smile. He spoke with a significant speech impediment.

A Little Goodness
Dallas. The mid-1980s. There were three Mexican boys in the supermarket. The meat department. They were covered in sawdust and drywall mud. They were eyeing the beef, looking for the cheapest cuts. Counting their nickels and dimes.

Stop the Hatred, by Walt Tollefson
America, we need to remember how to disagree without hating one another. When I was growing up, many of my neighbors and friends were Democrats. My family was conservative and Republican. We disagreed. Sometimes we argued politics at the dinner table. But when the weekend came, we still went swimming together, canoeing together, watching movies together, eating together, and living as neighbors. Political disagreement did not require hatred. It did not require destroying friendships. It did not require treating half the country as enemies.
The Star, the Seal, and the Stories We Live By How Two Triangles Became One of the Most Powerful Symbols on Earth
The six-pointed star did not begin as the Star of David. For centuries, it was associated with the legendary Seal of Solomon, a symbol tied to stories of hidden wisdom and supernatural power. Over time, the same geometry took on a very different meaning, becoming the enduring emblem of Jewish identity, survival, and national restoration. The lines never changed. The story did. And that is the secret behind every powerful symbol: it is not the shape itself that moves people, but the history, faith, and identity carried within it.

Ancient Aliens, Modern Myths, and the Gospel of Space Miners
Ancient alien theory didn’t emerge from hard evidence—it was stitched together by imaginative authors like Erich von Däniken and Zecharia Sitchin, who took fragments of ancient texts, ignored actual linguistic scholarship, and filled the gaps with cosmic fan fiction. What followed was not discovery, but duplication—a self-reinforcing echo chamber amplified by media like Ancient Aliens, where speculation is recycled until it feels like fact. The result is a modern mythology dressed in the language of science, asking us to believe that early humans couldn’t stack stones without extraterrestrial supervision, while simultaneously expecting us to reject the idea of a Creator as “unscientific.” It’s not that the evidence demands aliens—it’s that the narrative refuses God, and will accept almost anything else.
