I was born on 6 August 1956 in San Francisco, California to Janet and (the late) Richard Hovis.
I grew up in Santa Monica, California where I attended elementary, junior high school, and high school (graduating in 1974), in addition to involvement in sports and recreation (Little League +, the Boy’s Club ++). Further, it was in elementary school – St. Augustine’s By-the -Sea Parish School that I found, and made the choice to truly journey with God.
I attended Arizona State University from 1974 to 1977 – seeking to become an architect, however, I was not accepted, and, as such, I graduated with a Liberal Arts degree.
Upon graduation from Arizona State University, I attended Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and studied City and Regional Planning at the Master’s level. I successfully completed one (1) year in a two (2) year program – I did not complete the Master’s degree in City and Regional Planning – due to personal reasons.
I returned to Santa Monica where I started (October 1979) my career as graphic designer with Exxon Company, USA. I spent five years with Exxon Company, USA.
While working with Exxon Company, USA I was accepted into architectural school – Sci-Arc in Southern California, however, I did not attend preferring to stay with Exxon..
In 1982 I married Laura Flosi and in April 1983 we had our one and only child – Lauren Alain Hovis – a gift from God.
We moved to Phoenix, Arizona in 1984 from Los Angeles, where I went to work as a graphic designer with Kitchell CEM (from 1985 -1987).
From 1987 – 1995 I was an independent contractor, and a registered representative in mortgage finance, financial management, graphic design, and drafting.
Further, I attended the University of Phoenix and successfully obtained a Master’s in Business Administration (MBA) in 1982.
I was also a member of the Scottsdale Jaycees, where I became very involved in community events and projects.
In 1994, I accepted a cartography position with the Defense Mapping Agency in Reston, Virginia. As such, I relocated from Phoenix to Reston.
In 1998, I was accepted and worked as a Visual Information Officer with the Central Intelligence Agency. In 2002, I worked as a Support Officer until my retirement (due to a need for shoulder surgery) in September 2018.
Away from my Federal Government service, I have been involved in various organizations and activities in Northern Virginia.
In November of 2011, I married Rebecca Ouellette in Santa Monica, California. I reside in San Tan Valley, AZ with my two hamster - Jess and Timothy, our fish, our lizard - RJ Lizard., and our cats - Pearl and Grey.
As to hobbies, I enjoy playing sports, attending sporting events, mentoring individuals from financial management to hamsters, building models, photography, travel, multimedia design, managing partner for RJ Hamster, and jazz – smooth jazz to a samba or a bossa nova.
Love and God Bless,
Peter – aka RJ Hamster Jo hi

(1) Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, ahaving the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. (2) He laid hold of athe dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; (3) and he cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and aset a seal on him, bso that he should deceive the nations no more till the thousand years were finished. But after these things he must be released for a little while. New King James VersionChange email Bible version
Identifying Satan as the fulfillment of the azazel goat (often translated as “scapegoat”) in Leviticus 16 originates with extra-biblical sources, overlooks Scripture’s consistent statements about the responsibility for sin, discounts the principles and requirements of the sacrificial system, and ignores the finished expiatory work of Jesus Christ. Leaping over these foundational planks, some conclude that the azazel and the binding of Satan are linked.
However, the stated purpose of Satan’s binding is to curtail his deception of the nations throughout the Millennium. It will not be a permanent measure, nor will it be final justice or the true solution to mankind’s estrangement from God. Nothing in Revelation connects Satan’s binding with any sort of expiation of sin.
Not a single scripture shows that Satan is the author of all human sins, an idea based on the “Book of Enoch” and human reasoning. In spite of Satan’s influence, each person is still responsible for his own sins. Satan will pay the penalty for the sins he has committed, and with His own life, Christ has already paid for the sins of those who accept His sacrifice.
Asserting that Satan is the author of humanity’s sins gives rise to the claim that mankind cannot be “at one” with God until Satan is out of the way. Part of the confusion has arisen because the word “atonement” can be separated out into “at-one-ment.” Regrettably, this linguistic feature often leads to a wrong conclusion about the meaning of the word.
The primary meaning of atonement is “expiation”: “to provide legal satisfaction, such that guilt is removed, and the obligation of punishment is paid.” It can include cleansing, forgiving, pardoning, purging, and covering. The effect of atonement is that two formerly estranged parties are brought back into agreement—they are “at one”—because the controversy between them has been legally satisfied.
The focus on the Day of Atonement is the means of atonement, which Satan’s binding cannot legally achieve. It will neither remove mankind’s guilt, nor lift the curse of the law. Regarding the separation between God and man, that gulf can only be bridged through the atonement God provides through Christ.
The idea of man and God becoming reconciled through Satan’s binding also overlooks the fact that during the Millennium, the Devil will be unable to influence anyone—yet people will still be sinning. Will the defanged Satan still be the cause of their sins? Will humanity be unified with God just because Satan’s broadcast stops?
On the contrary, during Jesus’ final Passover (John 13-17), He repeatedly returned to the themes of peace, unity, and oneness with God, all of which are possible with Satan still on the loose. All this occurs through Christ’s work, mainly through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Humanity can become “at one” with God only through the Son, not merely by keeping the evil one at bay.
Also, if Satan’s binding were the actual solution to human sin, then all sins committed after he is loosed would remain unatoned. Will the people who arise in the second resurrection put their faith in Satan’s prior binding—trusting that it would provide expiation for their sins, too—or will their object of faith be Jesus Christ?
Satan, however, is not the factor keeping us separate from God—our sins are (see Isaiah 59:1-2), which Satan cannotcause us to commit. What hinders mankind from being unified with God is the presence of sin rather than the presence of Satan. Jesus Christ alone supplies the solution to sin.

Is McCormick a Steal Ahead of Game-Changing Unilever Deal?
Submitted by Thomas Hughes. Publication Date: 6/29/2026.
Key Points
McCormick’s proposed $15.7 billion combination with Unilever’s food business has driven shares down 50% from record highs, creating a potential value opportunity.
Q2 results showed 16.7% revenue growth and adjusted EPS of 80 cents, beating estimates and supported by organic growth and the McCormick de Mexico acquisition.
The company’s 4% dividend yield is backed by nearly 40 consecutive years of annual increases, offering investors income as they await a merger catalyst.
The Wall Street Journal is already raising the alarm about a potential market crash, and Weiss Ratings research points to the first half of 2026 as a particularly rough stretch for certain holdings.
Some of America’s most popular stocks could take serious damage as a radical market shift plays out. Analysts at Weiss Ratings have identified five names you may want to remove from your portfolio before this unfolds.
If any of these are in your portfolio, now is the time to review your positions.See the 5 stocks to avoid
Balance sheet safety is one reason the share price has fallen so sharply. The transaction includes a $15.7 billion cash payment to Unilever, with McCormick relying on cash on hand and new debt to fund that portion of the deal. That added debt is a major reason investors are focused on the company’s post-close leverage.
The bad news is that McCormick’s leverage ratio will rise to a higher-than-desired 4.0x EBITDA, but there is good news to offset it.
Already carrying investment-grade debt ratings from all major ratings agencies, McCormick’s executives have expressed a commitment to reducing debt quickly. Plans are in place to drive leverage below the targeted 3x level within two years, which could provide a tailwind for shareholder value.
High-Quality McCormick & Company Presents Deep Value in 2026
As it stands, McCormick is in a healthy financial position and continues to grow its business. In this environment, the stock’s roughly 8x current-year earnings multiple is a deep discount to historical norms.
Typically trading in the mid-20x range, McCormick’s valuation suggests that meaningful multiple expansion is possible over time, compounding the impact of growth. The company is expected to sustain organic growth without the merger and may even accelerate afterward. Estimates as of late June suggest valuations are well below long-term forecasts, setting the stage for several hundred basis points of stock price gains over the next three to five years.
Analyst trends also help explain MKC’s price decline and the long-term outlook.
While price targets have fallen, the low end now aligns with late-June trading, suggesting a floor may be in place.
Within that range, the consensus Hold rating comes with a 46% buy-side bias, which, given the 13 analysts covering the stock, lends some conviction to the outlook.
In this scenario, MKC could rebound at any time with the right catalyst and will likely trade sideways until one emerges. Upcoming catalysts include milestones tied to the Unilever merger, such as the expected announcement of a European secondary listing location and regulatory approvals in the United States and United Kingdom.
Institutional trends highlight the value and help underpin market support as June nears its end. Institutions own nearly 80% of the stock and have accumulated shares at a semi-aggressive pace over the trailing 12 months, despite some distribution in Q1 2026. The key detail is that accumulation resumed in Q2 at an aggressive $10-to-$1 pace and will likely remain supportive of the stock, given the company’s core strengths and the value-creating merger opportunity.
McCormick Outperformance: Organic and Acquisitions Shine Through
McCormick & Company had a solid Q2, with growth underpinned by organic strength and the acquisition of McCormick de Mexico. Revenue grew 16.7%, with 1.7% organic sales growth driven by a 2.2% increase in average prices. Both segments reported strength, led by a 2.9% organic increase in flavor solutions, with acquisition-related growth boosting both segments.
Margin news is also positive. The acquisition is driving meaningful back-end consolidation and cost savings, leading to improved gross and operating margins. Adjusted gross margin improved by 270 bps, and adjusted operating margin improved by 180 bps, leaving adjusted earnings per share (EPS) at 80 cents, up 11 cents year over year (YOY) and 11 cents, or 1600 bps, better than expected.
Catalysts and a Risk-Reducing, High-Yielding Dividend
Guidance remains a catalyst for the share price because the company merely reaffirmed it despite FQ2 strength. The market assumes the guidance is cautious and expects the Q2 momentum to continue in the next release.
McCormick’s dividend is another risk-reducing factor for investors. The low share price results in a high yield, approximately 4% with shares around $50, and it is a reliable payment.
The company is a Dividend Achiever with nearly 40 years of consecutive annual distribution increases, and it is on track to reach the 50-year mark and be crowned a Dividend King.
McCormick’s position as a consumer staples company gives it some defensive qualities, but the stock still faces risks tied to pricing, volume, consumer trade-down behavior, and merger execution. Consumer headwinds have shoppers trading down on center-of-plate costs in favor of flavors. Cheap cuts and starches work well with bold, zesty, and spicy flavors, and McCormick is a leading source. Execution risk is the bigger concern, as delays could weigh on the stock’s price. The worst-case scenario is that the merger is completed, but synergies fail to deliver the desired results.

Good morning, I’m Dan Gartland. One of the things I’ve found disorienting about this World Cup is that games are being played in prime time. For Americans, soccer is usually an early morning to midafternoon sport. Well, tomorrow’s Switzerland-Argentina quarterfinal is the last game that will kick off in prime time.
Kawhi Leonard can stop packing boxes for his transcontinental move.
The trade that would send Leonard from the Clippers back to the Raptors has been halted pending the conclusion of an NBA investigation into whether Los Angeles circumvented the salary cap by funneling money to Leonard through a now-bankrupt company.
The Raptors and Clippers agreed to a trade on June 30 that would send Leonard back to the city where he won an NBA championship in 2019. In exchange, the Clippers would receive Brandon Ingram, Gradey Dick, two unprotected first-round picks, a first-round pick swap and two second-rounders.
In a statement, the Clippers said the trade “can only be finalized if the Raptors’ ownership group assumes the risk of penalties related to Kawhi’s contract that could theoretically result from the ongoing investigation.” The Raptors, meanwhile, said they “remain eager to bring Kawhi back to Toronto” but will wait until the conclusion of the league’s investigation.
Aspiration co-founder Joe Sanberg pleaded guilty in October 2025 to defrauding investors and was sentenced to 14 years in prison. In their statement Thursday, the Clippers denied any wrongdoing and said that they “were victims of a fraud initiated by Sanberg.” (Leonard and former Aspiration CEO Andrei Cherny have denied that the deal was a no-show arrangement.)
The NBA did not give a firm timeline for the completion of its investigation but said Thursday that it expects it to be done “in the coming weeks.”
The penalties for salary cap circumventionoutlined in the collective bargaining agreement include forfeiting draft picks and suspensions up to one year for team officials. Punishment could also include the voiding of a player’s contract, in which case the Raptors’ hesitance to finalize the trade makes perfect sense. Why give up multiple players and draft picks for Leonard when the league might declare him a free agent in a matter of weeks?
Some concern for France after win
Erick W. Rasco/Sports Illustrated
France is moving on to the semifinals at the World Cup after beating Morocco in a rematch of their 2022 semifinal clash, but the French may have reason for concern despite the win.
Star player Kylian Mbappé asked to be subbed out in the 77th minute after injuring his ankle and was seen on the bench icing his lower leg. Mbappé said there was nothing to worry about, though, calling it “a minor ankle injury” and saying he is “completely fine.”
France dominated the game in Foxborough. Morocco held a slight edge in possession, but France was by far the more dangerous team, attempting 22 shots (eight of them on target), compared to just five for Morocco (one on target). Mbappé had a penalty saved by Moroccan goalie Yassine Bounou in the first half, but scored his eighth goal of this World Cup with a beautiful strike in the 60th minute to break the deadlock. He also had an assist on Ousmane Dembélé’s goal six minutes later.
After finishing as runner-up at the last World Cup, France has looked like the best team this time around. The French have only allowed two goals all tournament, both of them in the group stage. Mbappé is tied with Lionel Messi in the golden boot race with eight goals, while midfielder Michael Olise leads all players with five assists. After a dominant win over a very impressive Morocco team, there should be no doubt who the favorite to lift the trophy is.
2. Tigers rookie Eduardo Valencia’s homer in his first MLB plate appearance. (A’s center fielder Henry Bolte’s effort to nearly rob it was pretty impressive, too.)

ESSENTIAL 2026 DRAFT COVERAGE
Now that you know the basics, here’s more essential pre-Draft coverage:
The biggest Draft storylines to watch this weekend
Our Draft gurus, Jim Callis and Jonathan Mayo, run through six key storylines to watchduring the 2026 Draft — including who will go No. 1 overall, which teams to keep an eye on and the biggest wild cards and potential surprises.
Callis and Mayo have been running out fresh mock Drafts for the full first round every week. Here’s their latest version. But stay tuned — there will be one last mock Draft from the two of them dropping later tonight, on the eve of the real thing.
Best tools in the 2026 Draft class
Callis breaks down the Draft prospects with the best individual skills. For position players: best contact hitter, best power, fastest runner, strongest arm and best defender. For pitchers: best fastball, best curveball, best slider, best changeup, best specialty pitch and best control.
MLB Pipeline’s updated Top 250 Draft rankings
With one week to go before the Draft, MLB Pipeline put out a fresh list of the Top 250 prospects. That includes a new No. 1 overall in Emerson and updated scouting grades for top prospects, like No. 2 Roch Cholowsky, whose defensive grade was upgraded from a 60 to a 65.
THE COOLEST STORIES IN THE 2026 DRAFT CLASS
Some of the players entering the Draft have incredible personal stories. Here are five of the best ones we’ve found…
1 of the best hitters dances with knives — and they’re on fire
UCLA first baseman Mulivai Levu is the No. 62 overall prospect in the Draft. He’s also a Samoan fire knife dancer. That’s … exactly what it sounds like. In “fire-knifing,” known in Samoan as “Siva Afi” (siva means dance and afi means fire), performers spin and toss machete-like blades wrapped in ignited cloth. For Levu, it trains his hand-eye coordination and connects him to his culture and family. Read Levu’s story here >>
He hits in welding gloves, throws in a barn and struck out 570 batters
The first thing you might notice about Kolby Stringer if you scouted him in high school would be the yellow gloves. They’re work gloves (“I call them welding gloves,” he says), and he wore them to hit instead of batting gloves. Sadly, he’s in the Draft as a pitcher, so you won’t see those anymore, but we’ve got another fun fact: Stringer, whose team’s bullpen was literally in a barn, struck out 570 batters in his career at West Marion High School in Foxworth, Miss. Foxworth has a population of 523. That’s more K’s than people. Read Stringer’s story here >>
The Draft prospect who risked it all for a better life
To get to the United States from his native Venezuela, Alain Gomez-Gudiño traveled on foot and on bus for thousands of miles — along winding mountain roads, across flash-flooded rivers and through the dense rainforest, the jungle and the dangerous regions controlled by drug cartels. He navigated from Caracas through Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala and Mexico on his way to the U.S. He was 15 years old. Now the young catcher has hopes of being drafted by an MLB team. Read Gomez-Gudiño’s story here >>
Lebron could be a top-10 Draft pick
Alabama shortstop Justin Lebron — that’s Lebron with a lowercase “b,” not to be confused with the NBA legend — is ranked as MLB Pipeline’s No. 9 Draft prospect. His inspiration is his younger brother Jayden, who was born with the rare genetic disorder Williams syndrome. But that hasn’t stopped Jayden from playing ball himself in the Miracle League, which provides baseball opportunities to children and adults with physical and mental disabilities. So Justin might be headed to the Major Leagues, but as for the Miracle League? “I think it’s the coolest thing ever.” Read the Lebrons’ story here >>
The top pitcher in the Draft ranks every fried chicken sandwich he eats — and his own is No. 3
Jackson Flora is the top pitching prospect in the entire Draft. But he might know even more about fried chicken sandwiches than he does about throwing 100 mph fastballs. The UC Santa Barbara ace keeps a long list on his phone of every chicken sando he’s ever had, ranked from best to worst. No. 3 on that list? His own homemade fried chicken sandwich. Flora is an aspiring chef who spent a year perfecting his own recipe — and his fried chicken sandwich looks pretty darn tasty. But what holds the coveted No. 1 spot on his list? Read Flora’s story here >>
MOST FAMOUS NAMES IN THE DRAFT
Every Draft always features some notable family ties. This year’s class is no exception.
Jim Thome is a Hall of Famer. His son could be a first-round pick. Landon Thome is ranked the No. 34 prospect in the Draft, and while he has a lefty swing like his dad, who mashed 612 home runs, Landon is his own type of player with more of an all-around skill set.
2) Peyton Bonds
Yes, it’s thatBonds family. Peyton is Barry’s nephew. He’s an imposing hitter, too, at 6-foot-5 and 230 pounds. The 20-year-old Rutgers outfielder still has to develop his power, but hopefully Peyton has inherited some of Uncle Barry’s MLB-record 762 home runs.
A year after his dad CC was inducted into the Hall of Fame on the first ballot, Carsten will enter the MLB Draft. Unlike CC, Carsten is not a pitcher. He’s a first baseman at the University of Houston.
5) Codey Gauff
Codey’s sister is Coco Gauff, the tennis star who just made it to the semifinals of Wimbledon this week. He says he can beat her at tennis, though — table tennis, that is. The 18-year-old catcher and outfielder has taken part in multiple MLB Develops events like the Hank Aaron Invitational and the DREAM Series.
IMSA’s annual trip to Canada occurs with the Chevrolet Grand Prix from Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, roughly an hour outside Toronto, Ontario.
