Opinion
OPINION: Take two steps forward, and one step back...
Two little news stories, almost hidden away in the printed edition of our statewide newspaper, gathered few elected official's comments this past week. And both these two issues made even fewer headlines in the electronic media this week as Arkansas' biggest press storm came about an athletic team failing to make tackles and catch passes.

OPINION: November a month of transition, reflection
November marks the time of year when I try to wind down, cut back on business travel, and start planning for the next year. Preparations for the holidays begin. Get the house ready for winter. Finish the outdoor projects that lagged behind due to the heat of summer.

Nations in turmoil
It's hard to keep track of all the nations that are in turmoil. Bolivia, Chile, Venezuela. Even a wealthy, modern model of financial success admired around the world, Honk Kong, is beset with ongoing demonstrations and riots. These aren't countries at war. Many third world countries are in societal upheaval. People are resisting leaders who don't appear to be listening; administrations not addressing their felt needs. The only places where this isn't happening, despite economic injustice, are where human rights are stifled by oppressive force. Think North Korea or Iran. China is blocking its internet so their mainland population won't learn about Hong Kong's civil unrest. When a U.S. Basketball coach tweeted support for Hong Kong, millions in NBA profits were suddenly at risk.

OPINION: 'Country Music' gives new appreciation
Music is universal. Every culture sings, even those societies cut off from the civilized world. Why music came about is not really known, perhaps it was a way to communicate danger or other information. Music existed before the written word and changed as humans evolved. Music may have developed as a way to relieve anxiety, increase excitement, or simply increase feelings of pleasure. More importantly, music unites and helps form emotional connections between people, even when great differences exist.

OPINION: Whatever happened to authority?
Whatever happened to civil authority? What is it? When should we honor it? Who has it? Why are police officers frequently driven to use excessive force? Could it be because the law's authority is not being respected? In my generation, we showed more respect. Can America be safe without recognizing the role of authority in society?

OPINION: Complex topic
Communicating complex topics is difficult. Trust me, I've spent 20 years doing so, and I still have feelings of inadequacy. It is much easier to discuss scientific and medical issues with other scientists than it is to the lay public, which has been my audience for the past few years.

RELIGION: How many times should we forgive?
"Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven." Matt. 18:21-22 (Read 21-35)

RELIGION: Seeing through Faith
"So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum. When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death. Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe. The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die. Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way. And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth. Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him. So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house. This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee." John 4:46-54
