The burden the Lord has placed on my heart is not to tell people what to think. It is to encourage them to think. I believe every citizen has a civic responsibility to seek the truth, examine the facts, and measure them against the moral principles found in Scripture. My hope is not to provide discernment for others, because that is ultimately a matter between each individual and the Lord. My goal is simply to present documented information, ask thoughtful questions, and encourage every reader to seek wisdom with an open mind and an honest heart. It is my prayer that, in every issue we face as a nation, the scales may fall from our eyes, allowing us to see more clearly, judge more wisely, and act more faithfully.
On this website, I will share stories, letters, and images that have challenged my own thinking. My hope is not that you will agree with every conclusion, but that together we will become better citizens, guided by truth, wisdom, and the moral character that strengthens both our communities and our nation.
The country belongs to young people. It is theirs to inherit and theirs to run, and everything written here is written on that understanding — that the generation coming up is owed the facts, plainly, and the right to decide for itself.
Free, and staying free
Every story, every chapter, every dispatch and every drawing on this website is free. There is no subscription, no preview that stops halfway, and nothing to sign up for. That is deliberate. Writing that is meant to get people thinking cannot sit behind a gate.
For wounded warriors
This website is for wounded warriors and for the families who carry the weight alongside them. The books are available to them — free to read here, and in print when the printing is done. If you are a veteran, or you love one, none of this is going to cost you anything.
Donations
Nothing here is behind a paywall, so the printing, the postage and the website are paid for by whoever is willing to help. If you would like to be one of them, there will be a GoFundMe.
Who is writing
