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…

These young people give hope to America during troubled times

Tulsa Beacon

It is always a pleasure to me to be able to recount incidents that lend hope for the future custodians of our wonderful, one-of-a-kind, “representative republic” USA.  And there seems to be such despite the continuing stream of “news” – whether true or fake – coming forth from the sources on which we are reduced…

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…

The pardon of Lt. Behenna was a joyful surprise for Americans

Tulsa Beacon

It came as a really joyful surprise when the morning KFAQ talk show host Pat Campbell opened his show on May 6 with the announcement that PRESDT-45 had given a complete pardon to former Lt. Michael Behenna, of Guthrie, Oklahoma, from his questionable 2009 court marshall conviction for a reported “unpremeditated murder in a combat…

I was always glad to meet ‘Mr. Wonderful’ – Dennis Carey

Tulsa Beacon

Ever since I was a little boy, I have loved Sunday school, and throughout the years, that love has only increased. The deepest relationships between members of a church usually occur within these small groups. It is here that the church is at its best. We minister, encourage and challenge each other to walk out…

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…

‘Anything Goes’ as progressives struggle to regain some power

Tulsa Beacon

It seems to me that those on the ‘left side of the aisles’ tend to become more and more vehement and uncivil when they feel that they are facing a losing battle in their efforts to secure absolute power over the rest of the population.  And that is true whether in the United States or…

Here’s the answer when Jesus asks: What can I do for you?

Tulsa Beacon

Since the birth of River the Peacemaker, I have not had much one-on-one time with either Titus the Honorable or Cohen the Goodhearted.  Recently, I trimmed some trees and needed to haul the branches to the mulching yard to be recycled. I thought Titus would get a kick out of unloading my truck, watching the…

The demonization of the coal industry in the U.S. must stop

Tulsa Beacon

Several energy producers across America are taking advantage of the climate scare to try to force their customers to pay for unnecessary conversions away from dependable, inexpensive coal-fired electricity generation to unreliable and costly wind and solar power.  The Wisconsin-based utility, Alliant Energy, which provides electricity to about 960,000 customers in Wisconsin and Iowa, is…
