Abraham's Journey
By Charlie Johnston I noted a few columns back how much I love the rising new musical trio of sisters, the Castellows. In reading comments to their videos, a constant theme is people begging them not to let their rising fame mess them up and turn ugly. The three women are strikingly lovely, projecting wholesomeness.

Read More You Can’t Go Home AgainBy Charlie Johnston Missoula, Montana – Never. Period. I wrote a week or so ago about my very pleasant experience last year touring the grounds of the Mission of Divine Mercy near San Antonio.

Read More When Does Christ Call us to Reject Legitimate Authority, Legitimately Exercised?By Charlie Johnston Shawnee, Kansas – You may or may not have noticed that David Daleiden’s Center for Medical Progress (CMP) dropped a video about a week and a half ago proving that some Planned Parenthood affiliates have been selling baby body parts for profit illegally.

Well, actually, a few days after J6. When I came for the great protest I stayed in Annapolis, about 10 miles east of Washington. A few days after the gigantic, […]
Read More Fire From Below – and Then From Above ((UPDATED))By Charlie Johnston Charleston, South Carolina – Last week I was interested to find out whether Texas Gov. Greg Abbott was serious about protecting the state’s border in defiance of the Biden Administration. I used to joke that Abbott is always as conservative as voters force him to be. Now, I’m not sure it much […]
Read More As Texas Goes…By Charlie Johnston Niceville, Florida – I’m sorry I have been slow at posting of late. I have buried myself wrestling with some serious materials we must have going forward this year – and have been wrestling with a bug I have had since Advent.

Read More Random Thoughts While on Border PatrolBy Charlie Johnston Many have commented that my piece going into the New Year was very dark. I understand how it might seem that way, but it actually was not. Every great crisis involving some sort of great dysfunction has roughly four stages: revelation, confrontation, conflict and resolution. Ever since I started writing publicly about […]
Read More The Hope of the New YearBy Charlie Johnston “Wait on the Lord: Be of good courage and he will strengthen thine heart: Wait, I say, on the Lord.” – Psalm 27:14 When entering uncharted ground that carries many potential dangers, the wise man proceeds with extreme caution.
