I was recently reading through Matthew 5, which starts the famous sermon on the mount. This verse stood out to me as pertinent to my current daily life. Matthew 5:9: Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. This can be read on so many levels. World affairs, national conflicts, […]
I recently posted a story about an apparent contract killing while a man was warming up his car. Here is a case with some similarities. Ricardo Rodriguez left his apartment to start his car and warm it up about 6am. He was approached by Dylan Marlow, whom police describe as a transient, who was yelling […]
This last weekend in Columbia South Carolina, a purported “online sale” went horribly wrong. It seems two individuals were posing as buyers, but instead were planning to rob their victim instead. Reported facts are thin, but it appears one of the two robbers was spotted before the incident walking through a local backyard with a […]
This is a strange story. Apparently a 17-year-old male was shot while walking his dog in a “safe area” of San Ramon California. Thankfully, the bullet entered his back, exited through his shoulder, and missed all major arteries. The link above has a video of the teen talking with a reporter. He was walking a […]
I’m happy to announce our Black Friday deal this year. It’s a modern camo pattern sublimation print over coyote brown substrate that we’re calling “Palouse Camo.” This pattern is loosely based on ERDL camo designed in the late 1940s, but we’ve put our own spin on it. The colors reflect the golden browns & deep […]
Happy Thanksgiving! I have so much to be thankful for during this 2025 holiday, including those of you reading these words! Psalm 107:1 reads, “O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.” I am thankful, in no particular order, for family, employees, customers, suppliers, community, the Lord’s […]
Matthew 7:17 reads: Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. Jesus’ teaching here is regarding prophets (v15) and inspired speakers. I think the first application should be a pastor. Is the congregation thriving? Are sins addressed? Sure there will be evil actions within a church […]
I’ve been anticipating the CD EPL for some time now. Yes, it feels like years. Because it has been years. Given our position in the industry, I consider it a professional duty to obtain a few samples and test them. So way back in on March 1, 2025, I ordered 3 of them at the […]
Nextorch released their WL15 this week. It boasts 1200 lumens and 44,100 candela in a TLR-1 style form factor. It comes with the normal mounting keys. The light takes either 2x 16340 (rechargeable) or 2x CR123a batteries. It also appears to have TLR-7 style switches. I’ve not handled the light, but imagine it probably looks […]
