The National Day of Prayer—to Whom or What?

By Paul Derengowski Today, May 5, 2016 has been designated as The National Day of Prayer in the United States.  It was officially designated as such by Congress back in 1952 and was intended to encourage Americans to “turn to God in prayer and meditation at churches, in groups, and…


The Putridness of Politics

By Paul Derengowski It would be an understatement to say how much I hate politics—politics of any kind.

“They’re All Bad Till They Ain’t”

That is a classic statement from the movie based on a true story, the 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi. It came toward the latter part of the movie when American contractors hired to protect U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens were fighting for their lives amid several hellish raids by…


STAR WARS: The Force is Getting Stale

Yesterday, my wife and I decided to take in a Sunday afternoon matinee and watch the latest round of Star Wars movies that has been produced over the course of the past 40 years. For those that might be unaware, the first Star Wars (A New Hope) was released in…
