Monday, February 2nd, 2009When I was in grade school I actually liked Groundhog day. Our classes would always talk about whether the groundhog saw his shadow. Then we would rejoice, or be disappointed if we had 6 more weeks of winter. When I got older, and in upper grades I rarely recall Groundhog Day was even mentioned. If it was, no [...]
Obama’s New Stimulus Program: Family Planning and Nancy Pelosi
Thursday, January 29th, 2009Obama’s stimulus package is going through Congress and being debated. It’s been both praised and criticized. Though some rave about the brilliance of it, others question why it has hundreds of millions of dollars for family planning services tacked onto it.
Here is a video with Nancy Pelosi talking about why these family planning services are [...]
Pledging to Serve the Public Servant: Celebrities Need to Take a Civics Class
Tuesday, January 27th, 2009My brother in law sent me a link to this video:
His initial comments were about celebrities thinking just because they are celebrities, they’re qualified to dictate our actions and morals.
If you look a little deeper, but not too deep (these are pretty shallow people, even though they’re “involved”), you will find the biggest load of [...]
So Long, Circuit City. Don’t Let the Door Hit You on the Way Out.
Wednesday, January 21st, 2009You’ve probably already heard it by now: Circuit City (in the U.S.) is going out of business.
They could probably blame the failing economy because lots of people just don’t have the disposable income to spend on home electronics and car stereos. They also have made bad business decisions in the last year or two. But [...]
Farewell, George W. Bush. Welcome, Barack Obama.
Tuesday, January 20th, 2009A person would have to be pretty cut off from society to not know today is inauguration day. Two days ago I pored over Sunday’s paper, page after page was stacked full of pictures and articles about Obama. Some are excited and hopeful about the potential he’ll bring to this country, others are afraid, and [...]
Miracle on Hudson River: God Uses Pilot’s Gifts
Friday, January 16th, 2009I am still stunned after reading about the plane that landed yesterday on the Hudson River. What could have been a tragedy turned into a miracle. Putting the plane and passengers, on every major news venue, while dubbing the pilot a hero. Indeed he is!
Here is a news snippet from Yahoo News:
Christmas Under Attack… Over Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Friday, December 12th, 2008Last week Marc posted about Christmas music that isn’t really about Christmas. In his post he gave credit to “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” as being a Christmas song. But, I think it’s a bit of a stretch to call it a religious song.
Unfortunately one mother in North Carolina disagreed. Her daughter is in a public “secular” [...]
Archeological Dig Finds Text Dating Back to King David
Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008I found an article from CNN this morning that was really interesting. I thought I’d share it. The article is a little old, it was from Oct. 30, 2008, but still interesting. Here a snippet from CNN.com:
JERUSALEM (CNN) — An Israeli archaeologist has discovered what he says is the earliest-known Hebrew text, found on a [...]
Christianity in the News – 12/02/2008
Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008I wanted to write today about the state of Christianity in Europe (Is it on the rise, the decline, and why are some of the most vocal opposition to Christianity British?), but I came across many stories that I would like to share in the news.
Political party founded to defend Christian Europe
This is just awesome. [...]
Radical Gay Anarchists and Their Victims
Thursday, November 13th, 2008This last weekend, members of a pro-homosexual anarchist group called Bash Back! stormed a Lansing, Michigan church during Sunday morning services.
Reports say that protesters were outside the church beating on buckets and using megaphones to shout “Jesus is a homo” as church-goers went in for morning services. According to those reports, half of the protesting [...]
