My instinctive, visceral reaction to Carly Fiorina’s presidential aspirations was to dismiss her out of hand. There were two reasons for this. Number one: I have grave reservations about the presidency being anyone’s first political position. While I don’t like giving the nomination to “the next person in line,” and I find that career politicians...
Question: I met you recently when you came to Dallas, TX to address our meeting with Primerica. Thank you for what you do. My question is short and basic. What does the bible teach about punishment for children? My wife and I are expecting our first child. We are not in agreement with the idea...
This fellow I know runs a struggling consulting business. The advice he delivers is of high quality–I know because I have consulted with him once or twice. Yet he struggles. He agonizes about his lack of success. He is proud of his professional competence but is baffled by his competitors who vastly outperform him financially,...
If you wandered around the Marina del Rey, CA docks a few years back, you might have found my husband on his hands and knees, polishing the teak on his cherished sailboat. Sun and salt water are both tough on wood, so it was a job that constantly needed doing. Polishing wood was therapeutic. Daily...

I do not want Donald Trump to be president. After eight years of a self-adulating leader, I prefer someone who loves America more than he loves himself. I also do not want as president anyone, who while a candidate, apologizes for statements Donald Trump made. I am tired of timid Republicans who are fearful of...
Question: How in the world were you able to predict the eventual fall of the European Union? It has been more than seven years since I purchased your entire library package. Even today, I can still recall the confidence in your voice when you predicted in the “Tower of Power” audio that the EU would break...
If you’re trying to build a business, sustain a marriage, raise children or if you’re engaged in any other long-term challenging project, there is a lesson to be found in the story of flight. It was the fall of 1900; Wilbur and Orville Wright were living in a tent on the barren windswept sand dunes...
When I wrote last week’s Musing a week in advance and declared that whatever was happening, I was not going to pay much attention, I had no idea that my Musing would run right after one of the most momentous weeks in American history. Two major Supreme Court decisions came down, each of which, in...
