Have some fun and plant a backyard garden this spring

Tulsa Beacon

Susan has planted our garden in the back yard and we are hopeful for a good harvest. The way things are going in the country, this might be the year we  may need produce from the garden to make it through the winter. Susan is a much better gardener than I. In the past, I…

Someday, maybe soon, Americans can go back to church

Tulsa Beacon

It’s strange not going to church on Sunday. I have been in church almost every Sunday as far back as I can remember. When I was 5 years old, my sainted Grandmother got me and my four brothers dressed up every Sunday and marched us over to Tulsa Bible Church for Sunday School and morning…

Keeping your pantry stocked is a lesson from the pandemic

Tulsa Beacon

We have a pantry, a refrigerator in the kitchen and a refrigerator in the garage. In normal times, we buy stuff on sale in bulk and use it as we need it. It saves us money. When Tulsa had an ice storm a few years ago, we had about 24 hours’ notice to stock up…

Here are some of the ways that life in the US has changed

Tulsa Beacon

How has the Chinese coronavirus affected life in Tulsa? A friend said that even when this is over, we may never want to shake hands again. If the virus dies down, it may reappear in the fall, just the like the flu. For the first time in my life, I haven’t been to church in…

Things are not looking good for an ocean cruise in 2020

Tulsa Beacon

Susan and I took our first ocean cruise in 1997. Growing up, I thought only rich people could afford to take cruises. I was pleasantly surprised when my travel agent told me we could take a four-night cruise out of Cape Canaveral, Florida, on Carnival Cruise Lines for about a thousand dollars. It just so…

It’s time to get a good laugh from www.babylonbee.com

Tulsa Beacon

One of the websites I check on a regular basis the Babylonbee.com. It is a satirical site that is run by Evangelical Christians. It looks like a news site and it tackles the big issues, including presidential politics and modern Christianity. Here are some examples of “news stories” on the Babylon Bee. – On Elizabeth…

Stream of gaffes prove Biden is not able to run America

Tulsa Beacon

When I was growing up, I was taught to respect my elders. I don’t ever want to be unkind to senior citizens. But Democrat Joe Biden, 78,  is running for president and let’s face it, he is not up to the task. On the evening of March 3 – Super Tuesday – he temporarily confused…

Socialism would be disastrous for Oklahoma, America

Tulsa Beacon

Why would a sharp turn to socialism be bad for the United States? There are multiple reasons. Karl Marx, the founding father of Marxism, was wrong about everything he predicted. Marx was convinced that the idea of separate countries would eventually fade into a one-world government.  He believed that capitalism would fail as a result…

Big, progressive newspapers are paying a price for their bias

Tulsa Beacon

Big newspapers are having a tough time these days and in most cases, it’s their own fault. The Tulsa World recently got sold again. Warren Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway sold the paper because it didn’t make as much money as they thought it would. That was indicated by the sales price. Buffett, a financial genius,…

Sometimes war movies can provide a good history lesson

Tulsa Beacon

For some reason, there has been a rash of war movies released in the past few months. I have always had a keen interest in the history of warfare, especially World War II, since my late father, Harley Biggs, served in the Army in the European theater. I have seen some of these recent movies…
