Every now and then I come across one of those profound “a-ha moments” that causes me to pause, knowing I can’t simply shake it away nor quickly become immersed in something else, so as to miss the striking relevance to current day. Before sharing publicly, let’s first

While most were returning to some semblance of routine Friday morning, the typical Colorado calm was pierced by a shooter at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs. Two civilians and one police officer died; the gunman is now in custody as the investigation ensues. This, friends, is wrong. What

[Reprinted by request, with a few edited, current thoughts…] With Thanksgiving upon us, a day of gratitude and grace, I thought of sharing insight into the many things for which the Intramuralist offers thanks... For each of you... who encourage me through your readership and sharing. For my family... who

We’ve had seemingly all sorts of hot-button, available, challenging topics in recent weeks — some of which we have specifically covered — some, alas, that we have not. Allow me a brief, but insufficient review… a review of what's happening simply in our schools... A teenage girl was

We have such thin skin, it seems. I mean, what happened to the age old encouragement to let it roll off one’s back? Why do we get so upset? Why do we allow the little things to make us so mad and loud? I just read another story surrounding

And then there was this… Joe Kennedy, an assistant high school football coach in Bremerton, Washington, was placed on paid administrative leave by the school district 10 days ago for bowing in prayer on the field following football games.
