He Reigns

Posted on May 29, 2015 by ehurst

Don’t be taken by the FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt). Embrace holy cynicism. Maybe you’ve heard about the rise in murders in Baltimore. The official story is that the police are in serious hot water and demoralized, so they are … Continue reading →

The Power of Truth

Posted on May 26, 2015 by ehurst
