Valentines Day calls for a card, red roses and chocolates

Tulsa Beacon

There are three things I can count on for Valentines Day: The wife and I are going out to dinner. I will buy her some red roses. I will give her some chocolate (it should be dark chocolate). I will not let her cook dinner on Valentines Day, although we might bring in dinner that…

Some genuine science of the dangers of wearing masks

Tulsa Beacon

Is wearing a face mask make you healthier or does it make you sick? Dr. Russell Blaylock, author of the Blaylock Wellness Report, is a board-certified neurosurgeon with a medical degree from Louisiana State University and an internship and residency at the Medical University of South Carolina. He practiced neorsurgery for 26 years and then…

Here are facts you won’t get from the liberal news media

Tulsa Beacon

Here are the facts that you won’t get from the liberal news media, local and national. Donald Trump did more to advance the conservative agenda than any president since Ronald Reagan. Democrat operatives in at least six states rigged the election returns so that it was impossible to get honest, legitimate results. Joe Biden will…

Going to Branson after Christmas was a family affair

Tulsa Beacon

One even-numbered years, we like to take our family on a Christmas cruise but because of the Chinese coronarvirus, last month we drove to Branson, Missouri, for six days between Christmas and New Year’s. It was a lot cheaper but a lot less exciting. We rented a four-bedroom condo near the lake in Branson. We…

Biden has a chance to be the worst president in my life

Tulsa Beacon

The first president I remember as a child was President John F. Kennedy. Of course, the big news was his assassination. I was in school at Burbank Elementary when the mother of a classmate came to give us a ride home. We were all terribly upset. We had no idea what would happen. So, the…

Weight loss, travel and more make the resolution list

Tulsa Beacon

Here are some of my New Year’s resolutions. I want to be healthier in 2021. That involves losing some weight, exercising more and eating good food. I want to pray more. That may sound odd but the older I become, the more I realize the impact of prayer. So many people have prayed for me…

Christmas is a great time to share a some hope with others

Tulsa Beacon

Hope. That’s the message of Christmas. God created the world and the universe and then He created mankind. We sinned and that formed a barrier between us and God. God is holy and we can’t enter His presence without being cleansed from our sin. In His wisdom, God sent Jesus, His only Son, as a…

Christmas was great in Arkansas, Florida, Missouri, etc.

Tulsa Beacon

Christmas in the 1960s usually meant a trip to Needs Creek, Arkansas (just north of Conway) to visit Uncle Alton and Aunt Mildred. We didn’t have a bunch of gifts. Sometimes we wondered if my Dad’s 1963 Ford Galaxie would make it there without adding a quart or two of oil. Uncle Alton and Aunt…

Going shopping at Sam’s Club hungry is a big mistake

Tulsa Beacon

Here’s an update on panic buying. On November 19, I went to Sam’s Club at 42nd Street and Sheridan Road looking for Cottonelle or Charmin toilet paper. I get in an hour early because we have a business membership. All the Cottonelle and Charmin was gone. A week earlier, I had purchased a big bundle…

Here are some great Christmas movies (and stinkers)

Tulsa Beacon

My favorite Christmas movie is White Christmas. Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney and Vera Ellen join forces to put on a benefit show for a retired World War II general who has a failing inn in Vermont. The music is memorable, the characters are great people and it has a “slam bang” finish. In…
