By Wayne Allensworth I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. — Isaiah 45:7 Summertime. In the mornings before the heat waves bear down on me, I take my quiet-time walk. And listen. And watch and pay attention. The doves coo as they take flight. And in the blue summertime sky, the harriers hover and watch. I walk beside a pond and...
By Wayne Allensworth The United States of America will soon mark its 250th birthday. But America as such is but a vestige within the body of a failing empire. By “America,” I mean the cultural and demographic core that once defined our country. With a diminishing and divided “red” and “blue” core, “we” are a chaotic mass of competing interest and identity groups. The result might well be...

By Wayne Allensworth My father taught me the most about living in an all-too-corrupt world. He was a simple man, a carpenter by trade. But like many of the men I knew growing up, he lived by an unspoken code; he never fully articulated his rules for life’s road, but they were evident in his actions. Put simply, some things he would not do. When he contracted for a job, say remodeling a house, or...
By Wayne Allensworth For context and background, see Trump Prepares for War (BRICS Challenges US Hegemony) The Russian patriot Sergey Bulgakov once wrote that “only suffering love gives one the right to chastise one’s own nation.” Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, the author of The Gulag Archipelago, hated the Soviet system, but deeply loved his homeland, Russia, and its people. Forced into exile by Soviet...
By Wayne Allensworth The boy jumped over a fence and headed toward the pond, where a rock pile at one end made a rippling waterfall. It’s cold out, a few days past a warm Christmas. The wind is blowing fiercely, and the last leaves have flown and left naked branches on the trees near the pond. The limbs rattle and sway on the tallest trunks. The evergreens provide splashes of color against the...
By Wayne Allensworth Decembers are strange in these parts. It’s cold — in the 30s — but the leaves have not fallen. Fall and winter mingle. I enjoy watching the leaves turn to reds and oranges and even purplish hues. The breeze is beginning to take some of them away, but they have a way to go before they all pile up in yards and on the trail I walk each morning. The pond shimmers in the morning...
By Wayne Allensworth Verily, I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of Godas a little child, he shall not enter therein — Mark 10:15 My grandchildren remind me of Jesus’ comments about the faith of little children. To be sure, Proverbs told us to raise our children properly, that they should not depart from the way. But I believe that Christ was referring to something innate in...
By Wayne Allensworth It’s approaching mid-November and in the morning sky the rising sun, bright as it climbs in a China blue firmament, has moved closer to the moon, a half orb at this stage, the half facing the sun bright and clear, reflecting morning’s light. The leaves are turning finally, after a second Indian summer and then the onset of fall temperatures. I follow a stream and arch my neck...
