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…

Communists, socialists hold no concern for American borders

Tulsa Beacon

Frankly, it seems that those in the C/F/S (Communist/Fascist/Socialist) camp have zero concern for the future of the United States as a nation with its own property and integrity.  Every day Democrats, along with a few RINOs, in Congress strive to block all efforts by PRESDT-45 to have the government do what national governments of…

Lessons from ‘Moore Adventures to the Ends of the Earth’

Tulsa Beacon

It isn’t having grandchildren that make me feel old these days; it is the knowledge that I am married to their grandmother. These last few years, adding the role of grandfather to my life has brought me some of the best days I’ve ever had. Many grandparents tell me to enjoy this phase while I…

Science doesn’t support the hype of the New Green Deal hysteria

Tulsa Beacon

On March 26, the United States Senate voted against putting forward Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s, D-New York, and Sen. Ed Markey’s, D-Massachusetts,  Green New Deal (GND) resolution to the Senate floor for debate and final vote. Those voting against the GND included all 53 Republicans, three Democrats and one Independent. Voting merely “present” (also known as…

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….

Efforts are underway to create a Gold Star Survivors’ memorial

Tulsa Beacon

Now for a relaxing change of pace from the evil and noisy proclamations we have been bombarded with for the last two and one-half years from the “goats” on the left.  It has recently, within the last year or so, come to my attention that someone has come forward with a plan to recognize those…

Two regulars ‘births’ can’t match a genuine spiritual birth

Tulsa Beacon

On the day River the Peacemaker entered this world, my wife and I had Titus the Honorable and Cohen the Goodhearted staying with us. The weather was beautiful, so Titus got out his little bicycle and rode around the backyard while Cohen watered Grammy’s flowers. Before long, Titus came to me, his expression serious. “Poppy,…

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…

Hillary Clinton should have been investigated for Russian collusion

Tulsa Beacon

After more than two years of an inquisition-type “investigation,” the Mueller Special Counsel report has been delivered to the director of the Department of (in)Justice.  In my opinion, the term “injustice” fits since the terms of PRESJC-42 (Bill Clinton), who had the privilege of nominating candidates for Federal District and Appellate judges to positions created…

Tulsa Beacon

With great joy, the writing team of Moore, Moore and Moore announces a new addition. Joining our team is River Walker Moore, born Monday, March 18, 2019, weighing in at 7 pounds, 13 ounces. I am sure this new addition will bring us many more stories of laughter and hope. I have given each of…
