Several states are battling abortion but not Oklahoma

Tulsa Beacon

Can we abolish abortion in America? The answer is yes. The State of Missouri is in a court battle to close the last remaining abortion clinic in that state, a clinic run by Planned Parenthood, the biggest abortion machine in America. At issue was a state license that expired May 31. Losing the license would…

BabylonBee.com is chock full of clean, Christian comedy

Tulsa Beacon

I discovered The Onion back when it only had a printed edition. The satirical website can be really funny but it frequently strays from good taste (profanity and sexual innuendo), so I don’t read it anymore and I can’t recommend it to my friends or readers. There is an alternative. It’s www.babylonbee.com. The Babylon Bee…

It’s difficult to order anything but pancakes at IHOP

Tulsa Beacon

One of the hardest parts of trying to lose weight is going out to eat. I went to IHOP with some friends for breakfast awhile back and the menu was a challenge. Everything on the menu – except pancakes or waffles – had a side order of pancakes. I love pancakes. I really like Belgium…

To avoid traffic jams and parking, don’t go downtown

Tulsa Beacon

The biggest adventure awaiting Tulsans headed to Downtown is how to get there. Apart from side streets, there are three basic routes to get to Downtown from South Tulsa. Those are Riverside Drive, the Broken Arrow Expressway and the Crosstown Expressway (I-244). For several years, the city completely blocked Riverside Drive to build a park…

Biden wants a ‘straight’ America but Obama doesn’t

Tulsa Beacon

Joe Biden says he wants to make America “straight” again. If that’s true, he is just the opposite of Barack Obama who wanted to push homosexuality. That’s what Biden said on April 25, the day after he announced he was running for president. Biden said, “America is coming back like we used to be: ethical,…

The Nathan Hale prom in 1972 was a great occasion

Tulsa Beacon

Forty-seven years ago, I was an excited 18-year-old senior at Nathan Hale High School. The big news was that I was about to graduate and earn my high school diploma. That set the stage for my entrance into Tulsa Junior College (now Tulsa Community College) in the fall and a year later a transfer to…

You need a scorecard to keep up with the Democrats

Tulsa Beacon

It’s been said that “you can’t tell the horses from the jockeys without a scorecard” and that is particularly true of the horde of Democrats who are running or thinking about running against Donald Trump in 2020. Here’s a rundown with a few thoughts. U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan, D-Ohio, represents Youngstown and Akron. He is…

Give your faith a boost by going to church on Easter

Tulsa Beacon

In the early 1960s, I think it was 1961, I remember sitting and talking with my Sunday School teacher, Mrs. White, at Tulsa Bible Church back when it was on 6th Street near McClure Park. She patiently talked to me about Heaven and Hell. Using the Wordless Book, she explained that the black page stood…

Jacob’s sheep are prophetic signals

Tulsa Beacon

A particular breed of sheep known as “Jacob’s sheep” are raising eyebrows in Israel because of their potential link to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, author Daymond Duck said at the recent Mid-America Prophecy Conference here. Duck said there is a marked effort underway in Israel to rebuild Solomon’s Temple and one of the…
