I recently saw that a Pensacola Catholic football player is transferring to another school for the upcoming season. The kid isn’t transferring to Pine Forest, Pace, Gulf Breeze, Crestview or Navarre. He’s not even taking his talents a few miles down the road to a school in Bay County.
The best way to deal with cultural revolutionaries insistent on canceling history, art, statues, or people is not to engage in a dialogue or to apologize, but to ignore their demands and tell them to “get bent.”
It’s been too long since our elite cultural and media institutions had a good Orwellian two minutes hate. They needed to concoct controversy to rile up the mob and destroy another hapless soul in the name of social justice.
It seems as if nothing in life has every come easily to me. That includes getting a bad gallbladder taken care of.
Some of you might remember that I was scheduled to have my gallbladder removed in February. Let’s put it this way, reaching the actual gallbladder surgery was trickier than making it through an overgrown cornfield maze.

Baseball Hall of Fame catcher Roy Campanella said of baseball, “You have to love it like a boy and play it like a man.”
I thought about that quote recently as I took a few minutes to watch youth league baseball at Baker as I waited for the varsity game to start.
Christian recording artist Steve Green released one of his best loved songs, “Find us Faithful,” in 1988.
One hundred years earlier, in 1888, a group of men and women got together to form Pilgrim Rest Baptist Church in Baker.
Crestview High School Principal Jay Sanders has announced he will be retiring at the end of the school year. His last day on the job will be around June 30.
Sanders, a 1981 Crestview graduate, has been the Crestview principal for two years and said the decision to retire didn’t come easy.
Even though I’m in my mid-40s, one of my favorite entertainment escapes in life is still Star Wars. It’s something my big brother introduced me to as a very young kid and I remain just as passionate about it today.
