Letters to the Editor

Letter: Only prayer can change Pelosi

Tulsa Beacon

Only intervention from God can stop the moral decline of America.  The hoopla about the historical significance of the election of Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House will pass, but there will be consequences, unless there is a change of heart. Nancy Pelosi, “America’s most powerful woman” is accountable to God, like everybody else. …

Letter: Mitt Romney is double-minded

Tulsa Beacon

Mitt Romney was sworn into the Senate in January . . . but before he could even be seated . . . he began his attacks on President Trump. Romney wrote an op-ed in The Washington Post saying, “Trump has not risen to the mantle of the presidency.”  Then, in an interview with CNN, Romney…

Letter: Prayer and fasting for America

Tulsa Beacon

“If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14 (NIV Version) This verse is an If/Then contract. If the conditions that…

Letter: Americans want to build a wall

Tulsa Beacon

The Associated Press announced that the U.S. State Department has pledged $10.6 billion in aid for Central America and southern Mexico.  This announcement came at about the same time President Trump was hearing that Congress was not going to provide the $5 billion he requested for the Border Wall. Donald Trump was elected president because…

Letter: America needs to ‘build a wall’

Tulsa Beacon

Pope Francis says, “Don’t build the wall – build a bridge.”  Nancy Pelosi says, “Building a wall is immoral.”  And yet both of these individuals live on property that is fully secured and protected from intrusion.  Intrusion is defined as: “the act of wrongfully entering upon, seizing, or taking possession of the property of another.”…

Letter: Abortion and sex changes linked

Tulsa Beacon

Not many people comprehend the destruction that abortion has caused our nation. We tend to forget that it involves the killing of innocent children and have reduced it to an ideology, no thanks to the efforts of liberal activists. Why are there so many people on anti-depressants and abusing other drugs today?  Kevin Burke, a…

Letter: Virtual Charter Academy

Tulsa Beacon

We enrolled our children at Oklahoma Virtual Charter Academy 12 years ago (OVCA)! We made the switch to virtual school when our eldest daughter was diagnosed with a lung condition leaving her immunocompromised. OVCA turned out to be the best decision we’ve made for our children’s education. Each of our children have competed nationally in…

Letter: Uplifting Bush funeral

Tulsa Beacon

My wife and I watched every minute of the ceremonies commemorating the life and passing of our 41st President.  It was a beautiful tribute, and it gave the whole world a more personal and intimate view of the man himself. It was an emotional, deeply moving experience, and one of enlightenment.  Looking back over the…

Letter: During an earthquake, Alaskans: Shaken but not stirred

Tulsa Beacon

I made a quick phone call after a friend texted that Anchorage had just been hit by a major earthquake. The adoptive mother of our grandchild answered the phone. “Is everyone okay?” I asked. “Yes,” she calmly replied. “Paul was driving to daycare and thought the wheels were falling off his truck,” she added with…

Letter: Rewriting Tulsa’s racial history?

Tulsa Beacon

There was a race riot in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 1921.  According to the Oklahoma Historical Society, Tulsa was a deeply troubled town at that time.  Crime rates were extremely high, and the city had been plagued by vigilantism.  In August of 1920, a white mob lynched a black teenager accused of murder, and newspaper accounts…
