American Joint Chiefs Offer Stability

In an overwhelming show of force, the Joint Chiefs of Staff offer Americans reassurance:

of their commitment to our constitution

their commitment to protecting us

their commitment to defend us AGAINST ALL ENEMIES

a clear characterization of the violent riot as an assault on the US

a line that cannot be crossed when it comes to rights - No violence, sedition and insurrection

a reminder of who is the lawful president and Commander in Chief.

**********

The escalating rhetoric and concomitant violent threats, plans, and actions that have divided this nation are now under attack from multiple sources against the backdrop of the most powerful military on earth.

Their carefully crafted text should be studied. As they wrote, these are "unprecedented events." The date, 1621 (1-06-2021) is a date to remember--not only for what happened but also for seeing the rise of power behind this great nation.

Truly the shameful destruction of life and battering of those defending our elected leaders produces deep sadness. But the gradual coming together of elected officials, police and security forces, and now this statement by the Joint Chiefs offers hope for a stable future.

I encourage you to download your copy of their letter here or your favorite source on the web.

SPIRITUAL ABUSE: An Investigation

Investigating Spiritual Harassment and Abuse WP Post Article In an exclusive article, Ian Shapira reported on problems within the US Anglican Church (2025, October 24). Two leaders in the Anglican church are identified early in the WP report. [Ruch, who has been a bishop for 12 years, is one of two top leaders in the continent’s Anglican denomination confronting allegations of wrongdoing. The other is its senior-most official, Archbishop Stephen Wood. A married father of four sons, Wood, 62, has been accused by a former employee of trying to kiss her last year inside his church office in South Carolina, according to a new church presentment, which The Washington Post obtained in advance of its Monday submission. The accusations, which include plagiarizing sermons and demeaning colleagues, could prompt an ecclesiastical trial against Wood and his removal from ministry, according to the denomination’s laws. (Shapira, 2025).] ***** My concern is for people who have exper...

Marriage Under Reconstruction

The 1950s imaginary sentimental love man as protein-carbs winner (bring home the bacon & breadwinner) marriage has ended for most people in most Western cultures. Some folks retain that image, or some photoshopped version of it, as the ideal traditional marriage. Picture the happy couple at church with King James Bibles under their arms and you get the Protestant Christian version of this traditional marriage. Changes are a constant The changes in marriage and romantic relationships in the last few decades are staggering for anyone alive before the 1960s. Human behavior is my business. I am a psychologist. The counseling advice offered to couples seems to reflect the mythology of the decade rather than recommendations sourced in science. I would like to say that the nature and extent of the changes in marriage and romantic relationships have never been seen before in human history. But I am no historian. Nevertheless, the changes call for some consider...

EASTER: VARIATIONS IN BELIEF

Differences in Religious & Spiritual Beliefs Relevant to the Easter Story By Geoffrey W. Sutton, Ph.D. at suttong.com Like most Christians, my wife and I attend an Easter Service. And, a s usual, the media rise to the Spring occasion with Bible stories, comments from various religious leaders and a few atheists—just to keep things balanced. Other religions are on the back burner until Monday. So many statements of beliefs come from the Easter events. For now, here’s a sample of some core beliefs from various sources. God: 51% believe in God as in the Bible Statista (May, 2023) reported US belief "in God as described in holy scriptures" at 51%. Another 22% reported a belief in a higher power or spirit. Pew researchers from 2021 find 58% believe in God as described in the Bible and another 32% believe in a God or Higher Power. Belief in God is obviously a core belief. U.S. belief has declined to 58% having no doubt God exists and another 17% have do...
