Change happens. So be proactive – make changes yourself. It's good sometimes when things stay the same, not boring, just no calamities!

A whole lot of people are very upset because Dannon yogurt recently stopped making their coffee yogurt. There was an uproar about it, especially from those who had become almost addicted to it! Amazing how some “1st-world” problems are such a big deal. 

So learn to adjust, because changes are going to happen in life. Always. Some changes will be minor, like breaking your favorite coffee cup. So move on. Some changes will be major. Someone will die. You might lose a limb or eyesight or hearing. Or like wrecking a nice car. 

Don’t let changes destroy you, but learn to welcome and embrace them as part of your life. Try new things – you might just find your favorite thing ever by trying something new. Don’t be afraid, like tasting something new or different – you can always spit it out if you have to. Find some little edible treats. Enjoy them. Like soft-center Werther's caramels, one of my favorites. Or black licorice. 

Be careful of addictions, but learn to enjoy patterns that are there for a season.

If you do this sort of thing, take a picture of a delicious pizza or a pastry or a cup of coffee or a little mess you made. Start young. You can keep these pictures on a computer hard drive or a thumb drive. It can be sort of like a journal for yourself. Memories will fade, and some go away entirely. It’s all part of life. You can use this technique to do some decluttering in your life. If there are things around your home that you have really enjoyed, but no longer really use them, just take a picture of them, and then pass them on to Goodwill or a thrift store, or as a gift to someone else. You will still have the memory in the photo!

God has been in my life from early childhood. My Dad was a pastor, so I was raised in church. In my late teens, I met a Jesus person, a pretty young girl who actually became my first wife. Colette. I called her “mon miel” – it means my honey, a term of endearment in English, but not so much in French, I learned. She inspired me to grow up in my faith in God, and to really study the Bible in depth. 

I had a dear college friend, Adrian. He was artsy. A dreamer. A sort of visionary. He enjoyed having fun, but he was a deep thinker, too. We had many long, deep talks. He looked at things differently. Of course he did, because he had different life experiences than me. We have reconnected after many years, and again have had several nice talks. 

I had a sort of vision at a Denny's restaurant, when I was there late one night with Adrian. I had always believed in God, but now I needed to grow up, to see God differently, in what I discovered was moving into adulthood. It was like God talking to me in an inner voice. "I’m the same God you believed in, but you just have to grow up in me." It led to a change that needed to happen for me. It is probably true of all of us. Until we are fully mature and grown up into all that God has for us, we do need to keep changing. As we give ourselves to Him, God works in us to change us into what He wants for each of us!

NOTE TO ALL OUR READERS: Do you know anyone who might be interested in furthering the purposes of this publication, CONSERVATIVE TRUTH? 

I am interested in passing along this website and the mantle of Publisher to someone else - Lord willing! It will take the right person, and good circumstances, as I will not let this go casually or easily. I would love to see it be around for as long as necessary - until the whole world is filled with the TRUTH! 

I know that I will not be able to keep doing this forever. I would love to see this vision and effort continued as an expression for furthering the spreading of TRUTH to the people of our country and the world. So much has changed since Tom Barrett began this publication in the year 2000, around the infamous time of the “hanging chads” of the Bush-Gore election! I have been helping with the editing of this publication for ten years now, since December 2016, and have been the owner/publisher after Tom's passing in late 2021. 

I trust that God will help us find just the right person and situation for CONSERVATIVE TRUTH. I would love to see someone who has a burning fire in their heart, a love for God and Jesus, and a deep desire to know and love and share THE TRUTH with the world. Nothing too big! Yeah, right!!! 

Please give this some thought, and feel free to share this with anyone who might be interested, or get back to me with any ideas. There is no limit to what God can do with any person who loves God with their whole heart, totally given to His love and truth. 

Capitalism has never worked for the people who don't want to work, whereas Capitalism only works when people want to achieve, create businesses, and have a future. This is how the miracle that is the United States has become the financial driving force in world economics. For those who think Socialism is so great, they need to spend time with the people in Cuba and Venezuela. They are the victims of Socialism, and they can tell you about the “greatness” of Socialism.  

Most of what we do in life is sow seeds and reap the harvest of those seeds. The seeds we sow can be our attitudes, our choices, our words, our time spent with family or friends, our money, and our care and concern, or lack thereof. Harvests come from these seeds, and they can work for us or against us. That's why I want to make you aware of the Three Realities of Sowing and Reaping.

The U.S. federal government is several weeks away from reaching a disturbing milestone, surpassing $40 trillion in debt. The U.S. Senate just left for recess after passing another stopgap spending bill with no offsetting cuts. This avoids a government shutdown before the midterm elections but does not slow gargantuan increases in the federal debt. In the last 18 years, the federal debt has quadrupled.  

One of the more mystifying aspects of the Democratic Socialists of America’s (DSA) rise to prominence has been the lack of pushback from prominent Democrat figures in "the establishment.” Although the milquetoast responses of Senate and House leaders Schumer and Jeffries have been depressingly predictable, the former president who once claimed the “centrist” mantle has not bothered to weigh in on this startling development.  

More than 35 years ago, a very important book was published, entitled Communists in the Democratic Party. Yes, that was 35 years ago. So why is the emergence of communists in the Democratic Party such a surprise for so much of the media? Some “conservatives” were not paying attention. Liberals were covering up. That makes their media organizations the “fake news,” as President Trump calls them. This kind of fakery may decide the future of the United States.
