Quotes on Courage, Truth, and Wisdom We Should Not Forget
“Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point, which means at the point of highest reality. A chastity or honesty or mercy which yields to danger will be chaste or merciful only on conditions. Pilate was merciful until it became risky.” — C. S. Lewis (1898-1963)
“Real valor consists not of being insensible to danger, but in being prompt to confront and disarm it.” —Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832)
“If we take the generally accepted definition of bravery as a quality which knows not fear, I have never seen a brave man. All men are frightened. The more intelligent they are, the more they are frightened. The courageous man is the man who forces himself, in spite of his fears, to carry on.” —General George S. Patton, United States Army (1885-1945)
“Where courage is not, no other virtue can survive except by accident.” —Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)

A Second Look at the Bucha Massacre

Skepticism about the Ukrainian-NATO Narrative
On April 11, 2022, I published an article in the online Times Examiner, entitled Behind the Bucha Massacre. I believe I got some important things right, but I was probably wrong on other important issues and conclusions about its magnitude and who was most likely responsible.
Bucha is a small city of 37,000 about 15 miles northwest of the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv, bordering the Hostomel (Antonov) Airport. Shortly after the invasion of Russian forces into Ukraine on February 24, 2022, Bucha was captured by Russian forces on March 12 and recaptured by the Ukrainian Army on March 31.

The Wages of Sin and the Mystery of Humbling Grace
The United States and much of Western Civilization generally have been experiencing a perfect storm of economic, social, and political calamities and misery. Is it only a coincidence that this expanding misery and civilizational destruction followed the accumulating confusion of sharp declines in faith, spiritual discernment, respect for truth, and private and public standards of morality? Indeed. it brings to mind the words of Isaiah 5:20: [All verses ESV except as noted.]

Chapter 12 - The Synkasti Trolls’ Path to Evil
According to the Annals of Rusa, the servant of Jumala, these things were revealed to him in the land of Eurartu before the great journey of the troll tribes to Norway:
“All the purposes of Jumala, the Creator of all things, are wise and good beyond the understanding of men or trolls. His wisdom and power are everlasting and without limit. Nothing exists beyond his knowledge and control. Not even the smallest creature falls asleep and returns to dust outside of Jumala’s knowledge and will. Even the mighty oceans obey the limits he has set. Their waves come no farther than his command. He says to the great whirlwinds, ‘Be still!’ and they cease their roaring rage at once and disappear. Nothing can be hidden from him or prevail against his will. Truth and love are inseparable from his nature and are written upon all his works. They are his banners forever. His ways are perfect, and his rule without limit or end. Even the stars sing of his glory.”

Chapter 11 - The Early History of the Trolls
Long, long ago, even before the people of Thor, or Odin, or Frey came to Northern Europe, Norway was inhabited by a race of trolls. Following the age of endless winter, warm winds began to bless the Great Sea, and Jumala swept away the ancient fog that covered Norway’s mountains and fjords. There dawned a new age of many sun-bright days and blue skies, revealing the great beauty and wisdom of Jumala, the Creator of all things.
