President Trump Speaking from the White House Lawn.

The Pandemic Journal

We live in interesting times.  So I have begun compiling some thoughts about our experiences, what our community, our country and our world is experiencing.

My first musings were derived from my journal to the grocery store.  I did not know whether to laugh or cry, but in the end I could not help but laugh at the display of human nature.  Hope you enjoy the Grocery Store Chronicles.

Next comes a series of articles reflecting on the pandemic and its affects on our lives.


  • Ottawa Truck Driver Protest
    When Does Ten Percent Matter?February 25, 2022
    To beat them into conformity, mandates have been applied. Their access to hospitals and restaurants and the border between Canada and the US have been blocked. Proposals have been afoot keeping them from traveling, the infamous “vaccine passpor
  • Working lunch with governors
    Federalism — Or Intentional ChaosFebruary 3, 2022
    If it wasn’t for federalism, we would never have learned that lockdowns do not work, that children need to see our faces, that people need to worship, that fans need to cheer at the stadium, that people need to work.
  • Chapel by the Lake Log Chapel
    Faith (Part II)January 28, 2022
    Will Christianity survive the pandemic? A follow up report on how church communities have fared during the pandemic.
  • Banner of Love, Hope and Faith
    FaithApril 25, 2021

  • Kids homeschooling
    The Big SurpriseApril 14, 2021

  • Laptop at Home
    TeleworkingFebruary 8, 2021
    White collar work will be revolutionized after the pandemic. It is one revolt I am looking forward to.
  • Adam Smith and the Invisible Hand
    The Invisible HandJanuary 26, 2021
    And so it is today we have the ugly head of monopolistic power being raised and the cry for anti-trust lawsuits to be levied against Amazon, Google, Facebook and Twitter. Is it really necessary?
  • Hydroxychloroquine
    UnbelievableAugust 17, 2020
    How we stand on COVID-19 depends on what we believe to be true.
  • Homeschooling During Lockdown
    Rethinking EducationAugust 16, 2020
    One year ago it would be inconceivable that two opposite sides of the education policy debate would find themselves in the same boat, but that is where we are heading this Fall. It would have been unthinkable in 2019 that our school children would be receiving their education at home and not in our schools….
  • What is Essential. Two pictures of the COVID lockdown.
    PerceptionAugust 10, 2020
    It is time that we recognize that socializing has utility – as important as flying.
  • Narcissism Trending on Google
    Selfie and the MaskAugust 2, 2020
    I could spend pages on tangents, addressing our personal liberties, our right to assembly, the reluctance to be guided by experts, and the doubts we possess of this vastly complex phenomena. But before debating these topics, we must sit at the same table – and regard each other’s welfare.

    Home SchoolingJune 6, 2020
