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.

My backyard garden will not be as busy this summer

Tulsa Beacon

In the good old days, you would plant in a field for several years and then you would not plant in that field for at least one growing season to let the ground recover. That’s one of the reasons why I am not going to plant much if anything in our backyard garden this year….

The Tulsa Beacon’s 18th anniversary is in late April

Tulsa Beacon

On April 25, 2001, Susan and I launched the first edition of the Tulsa Beacon. This wasn’t the first time we had started a newspaper. In 1984, I was the suburban reporter for the daily paper and I covered Glenpool on a regular basis. I got to know the city manager, the bank president, the…

It can be especially troubling for a young woman who is not married or whose family is living from paycheck-to-paycheck. Unexpected babies interfere with work…

It’s hard to get to Mitchell, South Dakota from Tulsa

Tulsa Beacon

You can’t get there from here. I am beginning to think that is true when it comes to traveling from Tulsa to Mitchell, South Dakota. I know that seems like an odd destination but are several reasons why I wish to travel to Mitchell. 1. I have never been there. The closest I have been…

There are multiple reasons why it is ‘March Madness’

Tulsa Beacon

Maybe 30 years ago, Oral Roberts University hosted an NCAA men’s basketball regional. Before the actual invitations went out, it looked like Arkansas would be sent to Tulsa. The Hogs at that time were coached by Nolan Richardson, who coached a few years at The University of Tulsa. For some reason, Arkansas was sent elsewhere…

When you devalue human life, consequences will result

Tulsa Beacon

When the government considers the life of an unborn child worthless, there are consequences that follow.  Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Democrat officials of the State of New York rejoiced earlier this year as that state passed the most liberal abortion law in the nation. Basically, the new law allows the murder of an unborn child…

No need for a new definition of the Great American Dream

Tulsa Beacon

What is the “Great American Dream?” When I was growing up, that meant that you could do whatever you wanted to with a large measure of freedom and a chance for great success. For other Americans, that dream is for a large central government that provide, housing, clothing, food, jobs, health care, free cell phones…
