About Patrick

First and foremost, Patrick is a fallen being far from perfect in just about every way. Saved by Christ more than a decade ago, his life has been transformed. While there is more to Patrick than simply his redemption this must be placed up front because it is perhaps the most important brick in the foundation of this blog. Additional information about Patrick includes his home. He is a displaced native Minnesotan who has studied just about everything. He holds both a Bachelor of Science in Multi-Disciplinary Studies and an MBA with an additional emphasis on Public Relations, both from Liberty University.

The stories about fake cell towers around the United States have been going on since early August.  Popular Science had written the first article I saw concerning the discovery of these towers showing up.  As a recap, these towers push you off of your network provider’s network and pull you down to their own radio […]

A loss of privacy, or something more ominous?

Update: I wrote this originally from my phone and apparently some of the links were broken.  All links have been corrected.

The Problem of The Purge

I arrived in Louisville from Ft. Knox today completely unaware of the “Purge” threats the city is currently under.  For those of you who do not know what the “Purge” is, it is a night where essentially all consequences have been removed and crime is legal.  Murder is legal, you can do what you can […]

Education and Aspirations

A while ago I found myself with an opportunity to begin graduate school.  I was supposed to start this fall at the University of Nevada, Reno (my number one choice).  Sadly while I was preparing for this endeavor to begin my MBA, I found out I will be moving to attend yet another school that […]

As Promised. The Climate Change Lie Propagated by Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson

  Just watched “Cosmos” hosted by Neil deGrasse Tyson.  While I am generally interested today I was grossly disappointed with him.  Specifically for his deliberate deception and lie concerning climate change.  Let me be clear I don’t believe the climate hasn’t changed over the time period he discusses, but the human involvement is still rather […]

Slowly Building the Case Against a False Teacher

There is a great debate that still rages on today concerning our origins.  Scientists great ones on both side argue along with philosophers, thinkers, and theologians.  The question will not be answered in our lifetime, and it probably won’t in the short span of humanities existence. Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson makes the charge that intelligent […]

Ivy League Lectures for the Price of Free, You Just Can’t Beat It

Of course this […]

Why is Our Culture Broken When it Comes to Morality?

My last three posts concerning life’s meaning (Meaning Part 1, Meaning Part 2, Apathy 3) began to address this question.  I had not read this before, but Dennis Prager wrote a very concise piece concerning the following issue a few years ago.  It is worth a read and deep reflection.
