1. That people who believe in Jesus Christ; his life, death, resurrection and his continuing work in and through the Holy Spirit are not to be trusted and are not intelligent people.

2. That the college or university that you attend or those schools you are admitted to determine how intelligent you are and how successful you will be in life.

3. That our current culture, body of knowledge and ideas are actually more advanced than culture, knowledge and ideas that preceded this current age.

4. That there are no absolutes except that there are no absolutes.

5. That each individual is his/her own final authority.

6. That men and women are interchangeable and all gender identity is culturally determined.

7. That the only people who are talented, smart or of value are those who are “beautiful” as defined by their physical appearance, political affiliation, environmental perspective, views on “choice,” celebrity status, etc.

8. That all cultures are good, they are just all different from one another.

9. That the correct political system or party will solve all of our country’s and possibly the world’s problems.

10. That God is not personal and that He is silent.

A few of my cacti and succulents

A few of my cacti and succulents

I have an addiction. To cacti and succulent type plants. I have attempted to explain why to friends and family. I think some understand or maybe they just humor me with a smile and a nod as I give them my rationale for collecting cacti when I live in western Pennsylvania. Oh well, this is a photograph of a part of my collection. By the way, my wife has outlawed me from bringing home any more cacti.
