This month, we're diving deep into the frosty heart of winter to celebrate the majestic beauty and rich history of the national parks that owe their creation to this very month. January, often seen as a time for reflection and new beginnings, has also been a pivotal month in the establishment of some of America's most cherished natural treasures. Join us as we explore the rugged landscapes, unique ecosystems, and captivating stories behind these January-born parks, and discover why they continue to inspire awe and wonder in all who visit.

Why I Am Writing This The reason I am writing directly to you is the persistent framing of this debate as settled science, which it is not. I am not attacking people. I am examining methods. Methods, not reputation, consensus, or comfort, determine the success or failure of science. When claims drift from testable evidence into narrative protection, the scientific method is no longer being used.

I posted this simple challenge on TikTok to see where people's minds were. It was as I suspected. People are uneducated, ideologized and stubborn. “What system has done the most environmental harm: Socialism, Communism or Capitalism?” The following is one of the more detailed responses. “There has never been a socialist country, but it works well in Mondragon and worker co-ops. “Communist” states have always started as totalitarian and never transitioned to true communism. So, since socialism and communism have never been enacted, obviously capitalism has done the most harm, and the most good, because its competition are systems that.”

This is a question specifically intended for atheists. Answer yes or no when possible; if you cannot, state why clearly. First, define your position. Are you denying God's existence or just arguing as if He doesn't exist? If you choose not to assert a truth claim, elucidate the significance of your worldview in a truth debate. Now, explain the initial causes. In your worldview, what is the source of matter, energy, space, time, and the laws that govern them? If you answer “no cause,” explain why brute facts are acceptable for atheism but not for theism. If you answer “infinite regress,” explain why an endless chain of causes is rational while a necessary being is not.

Here, an atheist writes… “There are a lot of as yet unexplained yet observed phenomena; the difference is that the lack of explanation results in inquiry through the scientific process rather than pulling answers out of a hat.” So let us respond. You are confusing two different things. Inquiry is good. I welcome inquiries. But abiogenesis and macroevolution are not “unexplained observations.” They are explanations that have already failed their own tests. When a model makes predictions and every core prediction collapses, the scientific response is not “keep the model and wait.” The scientific response is “the model is wrong.”

Death and dying and living … the older I get the more I’m going to experience death. the more I’m going to experience being with people as they die and I

The couple was very cool to me to let me take a picture of the cop, giving their pretty little fur baby a cookie of some kind.

Why has the nation fallen? Atheism and liberals are to blame. Yep, I said it. Now, let's take a look at the evidence. Western civilization did not collapse because of invasion or famine. It weakened from the inside (atheists hate god, who they say does not exist lol) when transcendent truth was replaced by ideology, and moral authority (them, man) was shifted from God to the state (the self and lording over others, socialists and commies). Critical Race Theory, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion frameworks, and militant atheistic secularism did not arise in isolation.

Soft racism is paternalism in moral packaging. It claims to protect Black Americans while lowering standards, excusing failure, and locking communities into dependence.

This note explores what real faith looks like in a broken world. It shows how a man or woman can stand firm when culture falls apart, how God strengthens those who trust Him, and why hope rises even in dark seasons. It invites readers into a journey of courage, redemption, and steady confidence in God’s hand at work.

I often talk to people about the scientific method, abiogenesis, and evolution. Many hold strong views on these topics. They see abiogenesis and evolution as settled truths, the only options since they reject God and the Genesis account. I point out the flaws in this thinking. Let me explain my view step by step. First, recall the scientific method. Scientists observe the world, form questions, and make hypotheses. They test these ideas with experiments and gather data. If the data fits, the hypothesis gains support. If not, they revise or discard it. No idea becomes an absolute fact. Theories like gravity or relativity explain facts well, but they stay open to new evidence. Science builds knowledge through doubt and testing, not final proofs.

People ask me sometimes why I write all this down. Why stir up the past? Why bother telling stories from a county most folks can’t point to on a map? Truth is, I grew up in a place where the stories were louder than the people. Nahunta wasn’t just a dot between Waycross and Brunswick. It was its own world—a crossroads of old ways, family codes, and traditions held together by grandmother hands and gossip strong enough to travel through walls. My childhood wasn’t perfect. Lord, no. But it was full—full of characters, full of lessons, full of women who didn’t give a damn if the modern world approved of their methods. They were the guardians of the old rules. The enforcers of truth. Daddy was the cornerstone. Mawmaw was the steel beam. Granny was the one who could comfort and correct in the same sentence. This blog is my love letter to them. My apology for the times I didn’t listen. My gratitude for the times they didn’t give up on me.

This stream opens the world of Faded Glory—a nation on the edge and the warriors who stand in the gap. Commander Sharp, Commander Carlos, and the War Hogs face corruption, chaos, and the fall of blue cities. Each note delivers a scene, a voice, or a moment from their world as they fight for truth, freedom, and the hope that America can rise again.

December is a paradoxical month. In the Northern Hemisphere, the soil hardens and the fields go dormant, yet history tells us this has often been a month of frantic motion and shattered boundaries. As we approach the Solstice—that pivotal moment when the planet begins its slow tilt back toward the light—we look back at the moments in December history where humanity redefined its relationship with the Earth and the skies above it.

My thoughts on how 9/11 affected the American people, media, and culture surrounding most things and mindsets.

Winter doesn’t stop food — it exposes who knows how to grow it. Most people wait for spring… the ones who win start now. Read this before the cold hits its peak — it may change how you survive the season. Full story + support PLN: https://ko-fi.com/palmettolyfenewsgroup

The Church Year and Calendar play significant roles in every liturgical faith tradition. In this essay, we take a closer look at how the Calendar and the seasons of the church year are experienced within the Episcopal Church and through the Book of Common Prayer.

My children no longer come to my house and this year is the first they haven't invited me to theirs.
