Image via Wikipedia When I was a child, I celebrated Halloween. I didn’t care for the gory and gruesome stuff. I didn’t even care for the scary stuff. I thought the costumes were fun, and I loved the candy. As an adult, I see more evil in the world thatn I’d like to admit. Today [...]

We’re going return to the New Testament for the next 3 months and work through 1st and 2nd Peter, written by the apostle Peter approximately 30 years after the crucifixion of Jesus. In the 30 years since Peter denied Jesus three times, Peter has grown a lot. Within two years of writing 1st and 2nd [...]

Has it really been a week since I posted? I think the cease-fire between Hezbollah and Israel is a mistake. I think Pat Buchanan’s new book that western civilization is inflammatory but has a lot of truth.

Bush has nominated Samuel Alito for Supreme Court of the United States. I like him for the following reasons: He’s Italian and Florence is a beautiful city. He has decades of conservative judicial opinions under his belt. Harry Reid doesn’t like him. No matter who Bush nominates, there is going to be a fight. I’m [...]
