How much do you know about spiritual things? Is there any reason at all to think it matters? If things of the soul are important, how does God fit in? Who is He anyway? Those questions are what the God effect is all about.
We have all thought about God at one time or another. It doesn’t matter whether we consider ourselves to be a spiritual person or not. People react to God and religion in a lot of different ways. I don’t believe it matters as much about what a person has heard about God as it does what they do with Him – how they have reacted to Him. The way we see spiritual things and the way we understand them, is part of how we react to all kinds of issues and relationships in life. What a person does with God can be the thing that gives them an understanding of what it means to be a whole person – to know about truth, justice, and the purpose of life. In the end, how to have peace.

Chaos and harmony, ugliness and beauty, good and evil, that’s the world we live in. The questions are, which of these will win out in the end and where do each of us fit in?
Depending on where we live, a lot of us would look right outside our own doors and say that evil already has the upper hand and that good is struggling to stay alive. Yet, somewhere in the back of our minds, most of us still harbor a hope, if not an expectation, the good has to somehow rise up in the end and make all things right.
I have seen it all, the good and the evil. I think I understand what it is like to be immersed in an environment where darkness seems to prevail, even rule the day. In the worst case, I’m talking about things like survival from day-to-day in violence-prone neighborhoods or worse, situations where people are caught, for example, in the anarchy of Haiti or Christians being persecuted and martyred around the world.
The thing is, as the apostles Paul, Peter, and John clearly recorded in the first century, admitting the reality of all that depravity does not mean surrendering to it as if the outcome will be inevitable. As a matter of fact, the opposite is true. Justice and righteousness will win out because the Creator of all that exists, the all-powerful, all-knowing, all-present, absolutely holy God will bring everything to judgement and/or mercy, depending on where each of has chosen for our hearts to live. There is no greater choice in all of life because it tracks all of us into eternity.
The God Effect is an invitation to see life through a different lens. It challenges readers to move beyond religion as ritual and discover a living relationship with the God who reaches into history, speaks through truth, and offers hope, purpose, and transformation. Whether you are searching for answers, strengthening your faith, or simply asking life’s deepest questions, this book offers a compelling guide to understanding the One who changes everything.

Here is another refreshing bit of facts about the much media-hyped “measles outbreak” stories. This installment of Jeff Childers’ Coffee and COVID delivers the facts behind the claims. It’s another longer one, but well worth it if anyone is interested verified truth.
I have now compiled and refined everything I have worked on in piecemeal over a long period of time. The link for the book is below.

There are a lot of things going on in our world that should disgust any morally-alive person. I am willing to bet that when I say that, most of us will immediately think of the “big things” like the carnage and atrocities of wars over the world. Maybe, for the more aware, it might be the enslavement, abuse, and trafficking of children and young people, not just in third-world counties but across the globe to include the United States of America.
As horrific as those things are, the second, in my humble opinion, being the more evil of the two, Jeff Childers helped expose something more insidious in his July 27, 2026 Coffee and COVID post. It seems that the UK Telegraph ran a story on July 25th under the title “Minnesota to hand out taxpayer-funded trans dolls in classrooms.” Now understand that this is not about high schools or junior high schools, not even 5th or 6th graders. According to the story, the trial initiative targeted kids from 4 years old to 10 years old.
These are not simply good old-fashioned paper dolls. These are anatomically-accurate dolls with interchangeable genitalia and reproductive organs. So, what happened to pornography protections for children? A very convenient loophole.
For this post, I’m not interested in the debates about LGBTQ+ rights or even the morality of the various and sundry “lifestyles”. What I am interested in is seditious grooming. What Minnesota public schools are doing is seditious because they are prepared to submit four- and five-year-olds to is nothing less than an effort to bypass parental control of their children’s earliest and deepest experiences of self-discovery and their perceptions of their physical life.
The program is blatantly grooming. When persons of perceived authority systematically immerse children who still think the tooth fairy is real with adult-level concepts of anatomy and sexuality in the name of “therapy”, it cannot be anything less than propagandizing and recruiting.
Minnesotans have their University of Minnesota’s Eli Coleman Institute for Sexual and Gender Health for this darkness-in-the-name-of-light program. What the U. of Minn. vomited out and what the school system is preparing to do, is deeply immoral. The program is nothing less than government-sanctioned abuse. It is a horrendous assault on innocence down to the very core of helpless children.

I am not sure about anyone else, but in my view what began as possible obliteration of Iran’s nuclear programs and the chance for the people of Iran to be free after almost 50 years has become a massive failure. Somewhere in the process of offering hope to the world of a nuclear-free terrorist Iran and proclaiming hope to the beleaguered people of Iran, President Trump has seemed to have lost his moral focus, if not his fortitude. At this moment, he faces the very real prospect of being no different from any other administration, other than having starting a justified effort to make a difference.
Before the IRGC slaughtered as many as 40,000 Iranian citizens, the President had warned the Ayatollah against killing innocent civilians. He publicly communicated that he would have the backs of the freedom-seeking Iranian people. After the atrocity, no one lifted a finger, including the United States and summary executions went mainstream. It took the very real threat of Iran being in the final stages of producing a nuclear bomb, not continued atrocities, that spurred us into action.
After being on the verge of obtaining the total surrender of Iran, ridding her of even a particle of nuclear material, and most importantly enabling the Iranian people to forge their own path toward freedom, the administration opted for a so-called ceasefire that never kept Iran from firing. Admittedly, President Trump did manage to obtain the glory of having “made a deal”, even if it gives Iran everything they want except the Strait of Hormuz, gets no nuclear solution, and keeps the people under the heavy boot of authoritarianism and tyranny.
But wait, as of today (June 20th), it looks like Iran has decided they want the whole enchilada, including the strait. They are unhappy because the leader of one sovereign country (United States) doesn’t have the authority or right to demand another sovereign nation (Israel) stop defending itself. After all, what self-respecting sponsor of worldwide proxy terrorism would idly stand by while its victims shoot back. If Iran has successfully defied the most powerful nation in the world, why not go for the gold?
I am willing to admit that I could be wrong with my observations and analysis so far (but I don’t think so). But there is one thing I am pretty sure about: What I have written is about how the rest of people who care at all in the western hemisphere see things. This is what the situation looks like to the everyday, common, thinking person “on the street”. I don’t think I am the only one tired of the greatest nation Earth kowtowing to a third-rate, stuck-in-the-nineth-century, impudent country that has built its existence on equal parts oil and terrorism.
At this point it’s beginning to look like Iran is another North Korea, South Vietnam, Afghanistan. A mis-managed conflict sabotaged by economics, politics (national and international), and a lack of fortitude. The people of Iran had a chance, an open window, and the President Trump and/ or his advisors have blown it.

The Supreme Court, on April 29th, handed down their decision concerning the Voting Rights Act 1965 (VRA) as it applied to Louisiana’s purposely racially designed voting district. I am no lawyer, nor do I intend to become one, but I think anybody looking at the situation and actually taking the time to read the decision, should be able to come up with the same questions I have for liberals whose hair is on fire.
First, just for the sake of review, let’s take a look at how we got here. After the 2020 census, Louisiana went through a redistricting process. The final map went into effect in March of 2022. The map included one majority black district but was immediately challenged in court as a violation of the VRA and the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment. After a long legal battle, on January 22nd of 2024 the state established another map that included a second, specifically-gerrymandered black district (District 6). Only nine days later a group led by Phillip Callais filed a lawsuit challenging the new map as unconstitutionally race-based.
So here we are. A little over two weeks ago, the Supreme Court ruled that the 2024 Louisiana map was indeed an unconstitutional racially gerrymandered map. In other words, Louisiana had used a racially discriminatory practice to supposedly help the black minority (30%) from being discriminated against by discriminating against non-black voters who, in that new district, would have little if any representation.
Now we are in the midst of a redistricting madhouse. It’s all the rage. Tit-for-tat. Who can come out in the end with the most seats in Congress through all kinds of manipulation of voter populations.
Why all the hubbub? How is it that after 50 years of the Voting Rights Act and 150 years of the 14th Amendment, have both red and blue states suddenly gotten a conscience? If that’s the case, it would mean that over all those years, politicians and power brokers have gratuitously used a perverted system for their own purposes – whether for good or for ill, whether for their constituents or for themselves. One has to wonder, “So, what are they all doing now?”
Second. How is it that almost immediately after passage of the VRA, was it used to justify the opposite of its text? The VRA literally says: “No voting qualification or prerequisite to voting or standard, practice, or procedure shall be imposed or applied by any State or political subdivision in a manner which results in a denial or abridgement of the right of any citizen of the United States to vote on account of race or color, or in contravention of the guarantees set forth in section 1973b”! How can a prohibition against voting discrimination based on “…race or color” be use to do exactly the opposite through gerrymandered districting – for almost 50 years?
Spare me a lesson on historical discrimination. One wrong does not justify another. Reverse discrimination in redistricting is still discrimination.
Finally, and most importantly, why is the current foray into redistricting all about red versus blue? The most significant outcome of the Court’s decision should be about conscience and justice, not political horseplay. There was a problem of justice and righteousness in Louisiana and apparently across the rest of the nation as well. Maybe we-the-people should be demanding that kind of accountability instead of allowing power players to, once again, ignore the real issues.

Thinking on my feet: A chimpanzee cousin teaches me about aggression

I ran into a rather interesting article the other day by Sophie Brams in The Hill. The article, “Chimpanzee group offers clues on roots of human conflict: research”, is a short summary of results from researchers who have claimed to have found the possible roots of human aggression.
Let me give you the basics. Primatologists spent 30 years following and studying a group of wild chimpanzees in Uganda. In 2014, a respiratory illness killed 25 chimps, including four adult males and 10 adult females. In 2015, two clusters of the Group who had intermingled in the past stopped reproducing with each other because of food supply problems and infighting between males. In 2015, The groups began chasing each other off their chosen patches. The western group attacked the alpha male from the central group. From 2018 to 2024, western group killed about seven adult males and 17 infants from the central group.
What most interested me however, was what they believed they gleaned as evidences for humanity’s dark side. They felt the results showed that violence in humans may have “deeper evolutionary roots than previously thought, given that chimpanzees… are one of humanity’s closest living relatives.” The report goes on to conclude that, “If chimpanzee groups can polarize, split, and engage in lethal aggression without human-type cultural markers, then relational dynamics may play a larger casual causal role in human conflict than often assumed.”
So, apparently, I have a far distant cousin who is a chimpanzee. He has none of the built-in cultural markers for humanity or the ability to form human-reflecting societies; ethnicity, religion, language. However, in spite of that, he is viewed as participating in a “society”. Further, he is capable of demonstrating relationships which might tell us where evil comes from. After all, if you think about it, it is evil that fuels conflict.
Now, call me naive, and you will, I’m sure any scientist worth his salt will tell you that his or her research is absolutely totally without prejudice toward any outcome. That’s not really a case, is it? For primatologists, evolution is a proven fact, which it isn’t, and the doctrine involved in the faith of evolution drives any conclusion. Any good scientist, or well-educated high schooler for that matter, knows that we came from monkeys – but aside from evolutionary doctrine, we don’t know that.
It’s really a matter of interpretation. Big African cats have alpha males and fight for food and females. My goat herd has an alpha doe that tries to control access to the hay, including some pretty aggressive behavior. Come to think of it, try putting too many of the wrong kind of fish in an aquarium or attacking a beehive and see what happens!
No, the answer to problem of aggression in humans is not to be demonstrated by an animal – which, by the way, Chimpanzees are. If you’re looking for the cause of conflict between humans, look no further inner person, the soul if you will. As the apostle James put it long, long ago:
“What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you? You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight.”
