Be the Hero! Contribute to your community in the most valuable way by making 9-1-1 work. Become active in pressuring our elected officials to stop the failure of the 9-1-1 system. We have the power, but the will has been lacking. It's not about money. Lousy 9-1-1 service costs roughly the same in budget terms, but it costs horribly in human suffering. Let's commit to changing our government's prio...

Manual for training new Emergency 911 Operators in the Emergency Call Center from 2007. The Emergency 911 Operators would triage calls and transfer to agency call-takers in an efficient manner. Because most 911 calls arrive in bunches, and not randomly, duplicating calls overwhelm most 911 systems. The structure of the Tucson 911 model effectively prevented the duplicate calls from blocking other ...

At 7:00 pm on March 31, 2025, Senator Cory Booker began a record speech against the lawless authoritarianism of the administration of President Donald J. Trump. The speech was the longest in the history of the US Senate, twenty-five hours and five minutes, exceeding the previous record of Senator Strom Thurmond, who had filibustered the Civil Rights Act of 1957. Ironically, a black man had risen t...

When I was an Emergency 9-1-1 Operator, I would infrequently answer calls from very young toddlers, three or even a bit younger. Usually, they would be playing on the phone, but we were trained to be sure that there was no emergency. Sometimes, they did have an emergency. On one occasion, I asked the child to let me talk to their mother, and the child said happily that their mother was there. I as...

Discoveries from the historical studies of Jesus Christ Divided and The Conspiracy of the Christ opened an opportunity to examine the original theology of Christianity.

Sometimes what we already know is the greatest obstacle to learning. Christian spirituality is a perfect example of this. The gospels do not just tell the story of Jesus. They are masterful works designed to be read on many levels. Perhaps, the most important level is what St. Paul called the "spiritual." Hidden in plain sight within the gospels and other early Christian writings are clear instruc...

Breakthrough work on understanding the New Testament and the history of early Christianity.Modern scholars work from the presumption that Jesus and apostles could not have taught Christianity. So, texts that imply developed doctrine or Church are declared later than apostles. Thus, they discard any evidence that does not fit their theory, all but seven letters of Saint Paul.Jesus Christ Divided ch...

My desire to gain attention for Jesus Christ Divided inspired me to write a memoir of my process in producing that book, but once I began writing the book quickly expanded to something that I had not anticipated. The Conspiracy of the Christ developed as my life story with the focus on my spiritual journey, ultimately merging with my scholarly journey, and reporting the history of earliest Christi...
