Recently, I had a dream that I was talking with God. I told God of my fear for the safety of the world, what with unstable men in control of our very future on Earth. In a strong, compelling voice, God explained how he had sent all his prophets to Earth with the same message […]

Heaven help the U.S.
President Donald Trump has proven to have many frailties and fallibilities. There has been some discussion about Trump having a narcissistic personality disorder, which is described as a “pervasive pattern of grandiosity, need for admiration and lack of empathy.” It means a person with the disorder must have his own needs met before the needs […]

America regaining its glory
With each passing day, it becomes more evident that the powerful, wealthy oligarchs are panicking. Through the past few decades, they have usurped the authority the nation’s founders provided the people to govern and conduct free enterprise among themselves. They succeeded in usurping the people’s freedom by gradually buying off elected officials and installing their […]

Make fireworks display great again
On Jan. 4, I gave the town of Rumford a $200 donation for the July 4 fireworks display. I would like to see the town’s fireworks display be one of the best in the state again, like it used to be. Being retired and on a fixed income, that was all I could afford. But […]

Trump as the inveterate deceiver
The first thing that occurred to me about President Donald Trump’s reference to all countries in Africa as s—hole countries, was wonder at the reaction of my fellow Christians who support him. And how, in light of the Sermon on the Mount, they square those words with the tenderness of Jesus’ message toward the world’s […]

Looking for a few good people
Given the current occupant of the White House and given the recent flurry of support for entertainer Oprah Winfrey to run for president in 2020, perhaps it is a good idea to look back to 1997 and the movie “The American President,” with Michael Douglas in the starring role. At the end of the movie, […]

'No' to marijuana, junk food
I read in the dictionary that marijuana is an Indian hemp, cannabis sativa. It is used as a hallucinogen. It causes hallucinations, false notions, beliefs or impressions, illusions, delusions, wandering of the mind. I doubt that it has curative powers, as some claim. It may merely make a person forget their ailment. In my opinion, […]

Make the compromise
The president and Republican opponents of immigration reform are holding the “dreamers” hostage to their demand to build a border wall. I urge Democrats in Congress to compromise and allow President Trump to build as much of his promised wall as Mexico is willing to pay for. Since the president has claimed, hundreds of time, […]

Behind the tax reform bill
Who received a “great big Christmas gift” in the new tax law in 2018? According to many online national news sources: • Some 62 percent ($930 billion) of the $1.5 trillion tax cut (over 10 years) will go to the top richest 20 percent of Americans and corporations; • About 38 percent ($570 billion) of […]

Extend understanding to others
Gov. Paul LePage is to be congratulated for the success of his weight loss through bariatric surgery. Reflecting on how this has benefited his health and that of others, he rightly stresses how this valuable, potentially life-saving procedure should be covered by insurance, and it often is. That recalls two thoughts for me. The governor […]
