Hope and Fear
Inauguration Day: “On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord.” Today: “This recession might linger for years. Our economy will lose 5 million more jobs. Unemployment will approach double digits . Our nation will sink deeper into a crisis that, at some point, we [...]

As we’ve learned the last few weeks, God has a plan for Jacob. Jacob knows this, too, but he’s still trying to do things his own way and for personal reasons. Jacob was the second son born of Isaac and Rebekah, and God had told Rebekah that the elder would serve the younger. Esau was [...]

I’m sure you’ve all heard the prayer that goes, Dear God, So far today, I’ve done all right. I haven’t gossiped, and I haven’t lost my temper. I haven’t been grumpy, nasty or selfish. But in a few minutes, God, I’m going to get out of bed and that is when I’m going to need [...]

It’s amazing. When I talk to people that don’t know Christ, some of them don’t even believe He lived. Or they except tripe like Da Vinci Code as truth of a coverup. But let some big shot director shoot a movie about 27 year news, they immediately believe that. Why are the falsehoods so easy [...]

There are a lot of news stories about the Democrats challenging poll results in Ohio lately, even though Bush won that state by 118,000 votes. Although I think the Democrats are just doing political grandstanding on the issue and it won’t change anything, making sure the elections are fair is a noble enough cause. Go [...]

I blogged last night about Swift Boat Veterans and their opinion that John Kerry is unfit for command. They have a book coming out next month, “Unfit for Command,” that describes their impression of Kerry, including a description of the first Purple Heart. Other veterans on Kerry’s boat that night maintain that there was no [...]

“Fifty-nine Deceits in Fahrenheit 911” is written by Ralph Nader supporter Dave Kopel. Kopel offers a thorough rebuttal of the points Michael Moore tries to make in his movie. I think it’s worthy to note that liberals that support Kerry “because of all the Bush lies” have no qualms whatsoever about supporting Moore’s movie. If [...]
