I did see the Hunger Games movies but unfortunately did not read Suzanne Collins’s books for the source material.  I think the books are most often way better than the movies, so I would perhaps encourage you to read Louisa Mae Alcott’s “Little Women” as source material for Jo.  I have a feeling she is not nearly as much a “progressive f…[Read more]

Hi Erynne!

That is a very good topic and question. I am very glad you asked that question, because the modern depiction of “tough” females, especially in Marvel Movies is so annoying.  I actually enjoyed the character of Wonder Woman in the DC film (the first one) more.  Notice that she does wear elegant clothes, and she has no shame i…[Read more]

I agree!

I will commit to doing this as well.

I need this, our city needs this, our country needs this and our world needs this.

Yes.  It has a main title (Excavatia) [sounds similar to King Arthur’s famous mystical sword] and each of the four planned books have a distinctive subtitle. (You’ll remember the same was true of the 3 parts of “The Lord of the Rings”)

I agree completely. Sometimes when meeting new people, we just don’t know where they stand in regard to that.
It sickens me to hear people praising socialism and communism and extolling its virtues as desirable when I know what a deceptive road it is.  People need to soberly look at “real” history, with the lens of God’s perspective,…[Read more]

@calidris , my wife’s name is Olga, and she told me that they lived in fear that the American’s were going to bomb them, so they conducted military drills at school and even showed me pictures of her with a practice rifle.  The soviet government scared them out of their wits about the evils of the decadent west.  But, at the same time, we were s…[Read more]
