Random thoughts on intolerance
I’m doing housekeeping today… many things needed sorting and filing, washing and ironing. Teatime brought to mind some thoughts from the past weekend. It’s getting fiercer and fiercer, the slick and sick double standard of those who scream to be tolerated — not just tolerated, but venerated — endorsed — lauded. I’m not a proponent […]...

On Colbert…
This isn’t a blanket endorsement of Stephen Colbert or The Colbert Nation… but I’m just posting this so that you’ll see the lengths to which some people are going to deceive others or to discredit the Bible. I first saw this at an apologetics conference this weekend during a talk by Dr. Doug Geivett. He […]...

Are you a big surprise?
Have you let someone mock you and steal your dream? Our family crowed [sorry, that’s a typo. Our family didn’t crow around the computer — we crowded; c-r-o-w-d-e-d]around the computer to view a YouTube video that was suggested to us. So we waited for the video clip to upload…. When she walked on the stage […]...

About that Sad Day…
Now it will begin to be very clear as to why I wrote the blog entry: one-of-the-saddest-days-in-the-history-of-this-nation. I knew I wasn’t alone in holding that opinion — and I know I’m not alone now. Tens of millions of *innocent* children — unborn babies — have been murdered in this nation since the legalization and […]...

A Book and a Movie
I’m thinking about blind acceptance and emperors… the events of the days behind us and before us and a book and a movie come to mind. And I wonder what really matters to people — if it matters that there’s nothing there or if there’ll be a little child standing in the crowd pointing out […]...

One of the Saddest Days in the History of this Nation
January 20, 2009 will be, no doubt, a day marking the beginning of some of the most significant political decisions this country has ever experienced — and, in my opinion, one of the saddest days in the history of this once great nation. I decided not even to comment on the planned events […]...

signs of the times
Wes and I were browsing articles in our local paper and one article, in particular, really made us shake our heads — a social commentary — sort of a sign of the times regarding what marriage is worth. Although she is relieved to be out of the marriage, if she had known how little […]...

(mis)perception — even still, God so loved the world that He gave…
And… isn’t this just the epitome of man’s view of self before God? I’m pretty sure I haven’t been this naughty?!?! And yet… it was for sin and sinful man that God *gave* the greatest gift the world has ever known, the greatest sacrifice ever made and the greatest promise ever promised — the greatest […]...
