How can one pursue both excellence and equality? How can one claim they are not prejudiced but prefer anything/anyone over something/someone else? How, how, how? There are so many more…care to share some of your befuddlements?

Pleasing Readers
by William Meisheid
Sometime readers come to a blog, a post, a story, or a book and don’t have a positive reading experience. It may be all encompassing or just the frustration that while they liked some things they read other parts were dissappointing. We all experience this in our reading life.

Bridge Over Troubled Waters…
by William Meisheid
We are in terrible shape as a nation and somehow need to find a bridge across the troubled waters facing our country and its political impasse over debt and our inalienable rights. The solution is grace. It is also God’s solution to the bridge over death to life. Indeed, without grace no real chasm can be crossed, whatever the cause of the divide.

Liberals used to decry the company store, often rightfully so, since so seldom did the workers have an alternative and the store succeeded in binding them to the company, sometimes for life. Even when meant to “assist” the workforce, it eventually became a form of economic slavery. Without the company granting them “credit” most of…

Even if the person is fortunate enough to have the time (no sudden death) to address the issue, it is VERY unlikely anything will change, since reversing direction goes against the weight of their entire life.
While it is true that there have been remarkable deathbed…

The Nature of Sloth
by William Meisheid
I was reading a review of Josef Pieper’s Faith, Hope, Love on Amazon when the commentor (Lawrence J. King) said something that struck a deep nerve and sent a shudder through my being (I am not joking). He said: I used to think of “slothful” as synonymous with “laziness” — but this book made me realize what…
