    “One is only poor, only if they choose to be…”

    ByTom Knuppel December 15, 2015December 10, 2015

    And oh I couldn’t understand it, for I felt I was rich And I told them of the love my momma sewed in every stitch And I told ’em all the story momma told me while she sewed And how my coat of many colors was worth more than all their clothes But they didn’t…

    The Media Just Doesn’t Get It, They are Part of the Mass Shootings Problem

    ByTom Knuppel December 14, 2015December 11, 2015

    “As more and more notable and tragic events occur, we think we’re seeing more compromised, marginalized individuals who are seeking inspiration from those past attacks.”  Ya think? The reporter’s typical mandate—to paint the clearest, most accurate picture of an event using all available information—may, in this case, be unintentionally encouraging further crime, sociologists and psychologists…

    Is It Really Possible to “Practice What You Preach”?

    ByTom Knuppel December 13, 2015December 10, 2015

    Christians have often heard the accusation “practice what you preach.” There are several reasons why Christians do not practice what they preach or at least appear to others to not be practicing what they preach. We as Christians are not perfect. Christians are expected to “practice what you preach,” but we preach a message that…

    When Someone Talks, We Hear, But Do We Listen?

    ByTom Knuppel December 12, 2015December 11, 2015

      What’s more frustrating than speaking without being heard? We’ve all been there: confiding in a friend as they paw at their phone; pitching an idea to a co-worker as he/she interrupts with their own; telling your mom about your day as her eyes glaze over – apparently focusing on something else much, much more interesting…

    No Child Left Behind is Gone- Will the New Plan be Better?

    ByTom Knuppel December 10, 2015

      Good riddance to the law. Will its replacement be any better? The Old Law No Child Left Behind, on the books since 2002, was supposed to close achievement gaps for disadvantaged students (racial and ethnic minorities, low-income students, youngsters with special needs and English learners) and to eliminate what President George W. Bush decried…

    History of “O Holy Night” Christmas Hymn

    ByTom Knuppel December 7, 2015

      We attended a concert at Grace Presbyterian church in Peoria this weekend and they shared some of the amazing history of the song “O Holy Night” to us. It was an interesting story so I thought I would go for the entire background of this beautiful song. Written by Two Non-Christians In the year…

    Do We Fail in Discernment?

    ByTom Knuppel December 3, 2015

          Discernment is nothing more than the ability to decide between truth and error, right and wrong. Discernment is the process of making careful distinctions in our thinking about truth. In other words, the ability to think with discernment is synonymous with an ability to think biblically. This lesson is taught to us…

    My Mood–Be Patient and Wait for the Lord to act…

    ByTom Knuppel December 2, 2015

    Watching the news reporting of the shootings in San Bernadino, California has put me in a mood…… Be patient and wait for the Lord to act; don’t be worried about those who prosper or those who succeed in their evil plans. Don’t give in to worry or anger; it only leads to trouble. Those who…

    The Middle Class Fell as Washington Rigged the Economy

    ByTom Knuppel November 30, 2015November 14, 2015

In the 30 years following the war, the real income of all American families, including the poor and near poor, doubled….

    Wait, We are Suspending Coaches for Praying After Games?

    ByTom Knuppel November 29, 2015November 14, 2015

      Not only as a Christian, but as a general believer in something bigger than myself, reading and hearing about religious discrimination hits close to home. A few weeks ago, an assistant football coach was put on paid leave for praying during the games. Coach Joe Kennedy was “booted from the locker room at Bremerton…
