“Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins. Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins.” – 1 Peter 4:8
“When a poor person dies of hunger, it has not happened because God did not take care of him or her. It has happened because neither you nor I wanted to give that person what he or she needed.” – Mother Teresa
Being pro-life is a seamless garment. It must be faith put into action, not simply hollow words. God’s first greatest commandment is to love your Lord, God, with all your heart and soul. The second greatest commandment is to love your neighbor as yourself.
A Father's Fight
by Michael Doyle
I may be stupid
But I'm never dumb
I might even be
Smarter than some
There are times I'm afraid
And other times, brave
To Hell with the plans they've made
It's my America that I fight to save
I am part of the resistance
One of that class
From trees, I've learned persistence
While I've learned patience from grass
I've always fought for liberty
And sweet freedom from hill to hill
Let's stand intact with integrity
Letting it be known that we always will
It's a father's fight for justice and truth
Life long fought since the days of my youth
The fight for this nation's lasting fate
The love of righteousness makes America great

“Knowing trees, I understand the meaning of patience. Knowing grass, I can appreciate persistence.” -Hal Borland, author and journalist (14 May 1900-1978)
“(E)ach man having a fixed Fundamental Right born with him as to the Freedom of his Person and Property in his Estate, which he cannot be deprived of, but either by his consent, or some Crime for which the Law has Imposed such a Penalty as Forfeiture.” – Henry Care, English Liberties (1680)
This is a source of the beginning not only of the capsulation of the rights of Englishmen but also of the petition first brought before George III as our petition to the king regarding the deprivation of our rights as Englishmen that the then king chose to ignore. These deprivations led directly to the American Revolution as was our fundamental right as given by God and also part of English Common Law. Let this never be forgotten.
Big Sur
by Michael Doyle
Thinking back under Indiana's rain
Memories of a life spent in refrain
Where too much was never quite enough
And jokers begged a thief to call his bluff
I remember back to when weeks were done
We'd pack the car to drive up Highway One
There was always so much seen in scenery
An endless stretch of iconic greenery
California was home as I came to believe
Leaving there was something I couldn't conceive
Bixby Bridge crossed to heaven from this earth
Filled with happy songs and endless mirth
Looking out on oak, chaparral, and redwood
Somewhere the drops of soft rain are understood
There was a call of freedom running wild
That always made me feel like nature's child
Jade Cove pushes and pulls with currents and tides
While up above Ventana, the condor soars and glides
Many times, we had hiked these meandering trails
As the footpaths of our lives quietly unveiled
All our secrets were not so very secret after all
We would laugh as we lived under the McWay Falls
Sitting in Indiana, it's strange they've closed the beach
Where it seemed we once had life's answers in our reach
It seemed as though we were driving the world's edge
One foot more and we might topple right over the ledge
I smile as I remember the sunshine of all those days
Until a tear forms for all the joy we had put away

“The eye of the understanding is like the eye of the sense; for as you may see great objects through small crannies or holes, so you may see great axioms of nature through small and contemptible instances.” -Francis Bacon, essayist, philosopher, and statesman
“The great principles of right and wrong are legible to every reader; to pursue them requires not the aid of many counselors. The whole art of government consists in the art of being honest. Only aim to do your duty, and mankind will give you credit where you fail.” – Thomas Jefferson (1775)
The Spaces Between
by Michael Doyle
In all the paradigms that are shifted
The moral compasses that have drifted
The zeros, the ones, and those in-between
Afford the perfected moments as human beings
Would it only be that all things of clarity
Were as equal and equitable as sincerity
But there are differences between male and female
Thank God for that wholistic aspect of the tale
There are inherent advantages present in biology
In which each is better than the other with dignity
Held for each who has truly fought for their best
It's the doing of the best that marks the passing test
This basic truth shouldn't be flashpoints of ideology
As one side plays distortions of political identity
This transcends the games of self-righteous feelings
And comes down to the nitty-gritty of performance ceilings
As a youth grows this gulf deepens as the plot thickens
And isn't the same game as the first-ness of eggs and chickens
But very real and observable moments that deal in potential
It's empirically stamped with genuine scientific credential
There is one overwhelming driver in this gender biology
It is the magic found within the stage called puberty
The hormones flow and despite any sort of known strategy
The zenith of testosterone wins over in its trajectory
This is easily tested in it every day, steady in occurrence
Males have the advantage in speed, power, and endurance
But the gap lessens when it comes to contests of skill
We should keep this in mind when it comes to political will
This all comes down to accepting the limits of biology
Something that cannot be bested by wrong-minded ideology
Women should be given space, resources, and full opportunity
And these sorts of questions should be faced with integrity
