The Scariest Part of Tuesday's Election
It can be summed up in this little quote: Democrats are looking ahead to expanded power. New New Deal. Unfettered ability to impose government oversight, appoint activist judges, raise taxes, and spend whatever they want on whatever they want. I am so not looking forward to the next 4 years.

Sweet treats for everybody; I’d like to pass out some candy favors today; little pieces of sweetness as a symbol of the wonderful friends we’ve developed in this class. (For my illustration today, I’ll pass out little candy favors to everybody, but “accidentally” overlook Margaret.) Sometimes big conflicts can fracture a relationship. Sometimes, little things [...]

I haven’t posted much this week. Perhaps it’s because I’m not thinking much this week. Here’s a little scrimpet of stuff that has passed by my noggin but is too little to write about – I haven’t given much thoughts to the electrion so far this year; it bores me already. I don’t like any [...]

I was blessed with the opportunity to teach bible class this morning on the book of Job, chapters 1 and 2. Respond in Faith, or “why do bad things happen to good people?” A guy named Pete gets a job as a switchman with the railroad, and undergoes weeks of training. The supervisor then takes [...]

I taught a lesson on “Taking Comfort in God’s Strength” and never got around to posting my notes. I have found that I tend to get lost in my notes and I tried to switch to an outline format. It actually worked out better for teaching, but it looks like a lousy format for a [...]

I find this story in the Houston Chronicle amusing: Republican Gov. Rick Perry rallied his evangelical, socially conservative base on the issue, but political analysts said Proposition 2′s success doesn’t necessarily predict future success for individual politicians. “I don’t see how it can be useful for a party or a candidate because this so transcends [...]

Hmm. Nothing inspires me to blog today. I tossed some ideas at myself but nothing stuck. North Korea says the have nukes and don’t want to talk about it. The U.S. says we ought to talk about it. No solutions look good at the moment. Let North Korea keep the nukes? Force them to disarm? [...]

OpinionJournal today asks, “What do the Democrats stand for?” Then proceeds to eloquently trash the heart of liberalism and what is stands for. Excellent reading today; while applauding the heart behind liberalism, once you recognize that liberalism has a cost, you next have to ask, “how much cost is too much?” And as soon as [...]

Yep, I’m boycotting “Winter Holidays” as a completely useless and meaningless psuedo-pagan holiday. I’m celebrating Christmas. The birth of Christ, a reminder He came to die for our sins, the loving and giving we share with each other as we remember the loving and giving Jesus gave to us. I’ll happily pile on the odd [...]

If John Kerry didn’t cheat, what is he removing from his pocket? From INDC comes this accusation, and it’s a valid charge. The rules of the debate were very clear: (c) No props, notes, charts, diagrams, or other writings or other tangible things may be brought into the debate by either candidate. … (d) Notwithstanding [...]
