ezs note:  I ran across Rev. Ed Trevors, who gave me a breath of fresh air.  Unfortunately, most of what passes off as 'Christianity' is pure crap. Fortunately, though, Ed saves the day. I may not see every line from side to side (he is a [real] Christian, I am a Baha'i), but, geez, this guy is good. I'll do my bit to promote him. To learn more about him, go to Bing AI and type 'Who is Reverend Ed Trevors?'

By the way, if you're free, Ed broadcasts live on 1) most Saturday nights at 7:30 pm and 2) most Wednesday afternoons at 2:00 pm (Eastern time). (other time zones will vary)  Look for :

ezs note:  When I first ran across a blog that was critical of Ronald Reagan,  I was hesitant.  Not that they were wrong - they weren't.  It's that most of them were just a wee priggish. Or a lot.  Finally, I opened Leeja's blog - and wow!  She's smart, funny and fresh.  I decided to put up on Sundays Leeja's blog.  If you look at the broad spectrum, she's a lawyer who advocates human rights - and more specifically LGBT+  rights.  Please keep reading.  I think you'll enjoy.
