(The First Reflection)0755 on 26 Feb., 2023 Wrestling competition was coming up soon –Which I enjoy better than my classical tunes.Gonna leave my radio behindAnd watch Wilmington kick some behind!But one of my stars in not there!He’ll be sittin’ in the stands somewhere;“Kid got kicked off the team for a vape!”“Oh no! Whom did he […]

“Kid got kicked off the team for vaping!” “What?!? Whom did he rape?” “I said he was VAPING!” “Vaping!? What’s that?” “You know, suckin’ in some air! Through a pipe-like thing; It’s kinda like smokin’.” “Nah, who would do such a thing!?” “Well, a fellow might get sick, ya know!” “I mean who would kick […]

It’s happy Baptism Day to Petra An excellent girl etcetera A good witness by a daughter Who’s brought others to the water And delivered them from strife Bringing them that life Which comes from above. Got that kindness and love That warms the heart And helps others depart From the ways of the fool And […]

Kicked off the wrestling team for “vaping”? Yeah, not raping . . . V-A-P-I-N-G! Pretty dog-gone harsh and down-right cruel to us spectators. Why should we fans be punished for such a simple “offense”? Not to mention screwing over a kid’s wrestling scholarship opportunities. Any discipline for students who blaspheme or disrespect teachers in class? […]

So says some colorfully zealous scribbling on the fence of a residence on a well-traveled street which I pass as I stroll around my hometown streets in Wilmington. Hmm. Needs some clarification! (The Nazis called for peace among the Germans after they seized power. Context is important . . . Just sayin’ . . . […]

Sire of twelve and mothered eleven. (Anastasia died and went to heaven. In the womb she passed away, But we will see her on that day When we join with her and the redeemed After passing through many rough streams.) Jayne endured through many-a trial, Aware that she was bought by His blood. She pressed […]

The church was to be ruled by elders Not a pastor, don’t you see? ‘Twas always a better way To avoid, you know, a monarchy. You can see it throughout the scriptures, But it seems people pay them no mind. Rather make it all nice and easy To whine at one, the many, all the […]

Get With Today’s Problems! Interesting misguided zeal of some, referenced on my classical station (WGUC), who would purge the play list of some composers because (back in the day) they “expressed some racist views.” Hmm. What if we purged the airways -today- of any who expressed pro-abort views? (Might get rid of a lot of […]

Steve Szeghi An earth-worshiper, a.k.a. an “economics professor” at Wilmington College? He is an advocate of “social justice and the environment.” He is a co-author of Right Relationship: Building a Whole Earth Economy. Wonderful. But for many such folks, an important principle is missing: the Creator of that earth – which he errantly worships in […]

Won’t go to war against ex-utero bad guys, but are okay with all-out war on in innocent, helpless in utero folks! Well, what about that imago Dei thing? What’s up? Are humans (which begin, each one at conception) created in the image of God or not?!? Now there are times, contrary to Quaker doctrine, to […]

“Why should the devil have all The good music?” crooned Larry! He sang it out and made us merry! (Sayin’ “Amen” to that song! Where was contemporary Christian music? Nowhere to be found; Needed Gospel lyrics to that sound!) Got a station playin’ it fine “The Oasis”! ’tis called – 105.9. But then I got […]

You ain’t nothin’ but a “spam risk”! No! I don’t pick up that phone; You can take it and cram it right up That place where the sun don’t shine! Quit ringin’ my phone you fools! I got lots o’ things I’d rather do! Don’t need that noise, boys Or what you’re tryin’ to sell. […]

“Stand up for Science!” says a sign in my neighborhood. Well, amen to that! Observe the FACTS and learn! One of the most important of facts, over all time in all the world, that one must know is the FACT of the resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth from the dead back in 30-something A.D.! He […]

They buy property, especially houses, and invest as little as possible; just enough to sustain the house so that it does not deteriorate. Otherwise, they have no interest in living in the neighborhood and building social bonds with anyone. The house may be a mess and even a haunt for the occasional derelict drifter who […]

[Nov., 2016] Notice: Termination of Prison Ministry I have determined to abandon the prison ministry here in Wilmington in order to pursue necessary support for my family. I am hoping to find a replacement minister(s) to continue the mission and will made efforts to that end in the next three months. (My last prison visit […]

Contraception indicates a questioning (if not questionable) attitude toward children. But Planned Parenthood, with its advocacy of abortion (murder) as an option, is a horrid blight on the political landscape. When God’s plan (children by means of conception) trumps our own plans, it is advisable to heed Him rather than our own fleeting liberty longings! […]

It is the motto of my local – you might say – “oldies” station, playing the popular music of the late sixties and seventies. Indeed, it was excellent music, about which Larry Norman crooned, “Why should the devil have all the good music?”! Yes, it was good, Godless music. High quality use of instruments and […]

29 Sept., 2022 Dear Mormons (or “Latter Day Saints” – as you fancy yourselves), For an eternity, before He made anything (angels, dirt, people), God existed as one God in three persons. There was eternal love between the three persons of this God-head. Thus have the (faithful) churches among all the denominations (Baptist, Presbyterian, Lutheran, […]

May a boycott of Kroger go well; Such wickedness has help from hell. One wonders who was behind such folly To facilitate the murder of babies. But a voice of protest may awaken Fools who have justice forsaken, And mercy cast out the door, Facilitating the work of the whore Who would cover her sin […]

26 August, 2022 Kroger 1230 Rombach Avenue Wilmington, OH 45177 Dear Sirs; It is reported here: That you are paying traveling expenses for your employees to have their children killed by abortion. If this is not the case, please advise. Otherwise, we must take our business elsewhere. Yours truly, Michael and Jayne Bray
