Talking to Muslims certainly doesn’t hurt. But we should also talk to non-Muslims who live in Muslim majority regions. And from Nigeria, to Yemen, to Syria, to Indonesia, I’ve worked with many over the years who have their own opinion about being the minority in a Muslim majority region. Truth be told, their accounts typically sound more like this, than this. I think it’s fair to say Pope Francis hasn’t glossed over the evils of Islamic extremism. But like many today, it... Read more
To my Dad, and to my wonderful sons. I’ve been blessed (though perhaps biased here) in that I had a wonderful Dad, and have equally wonderful boys. I’m sure they get that from their Mom. Me, if they don’t get sarcasm, I’m not sure what they get. 🙂 But happy Father’s Day to my Dad, my boys for making the day worth it, and all the Dads out there, including those who play the role of dad even...

As comic book movies go, I must admit – guilty pleasure – I find the GotG franchise to be a pretty fun watch. Nothing that was Academy Award winning. Some of the humor was a less subtle and not kid friendly, which makes it tough for the little ones. But fun nonetheless. It was actually a Father’s Day present from my boys. A date for my wife and me. Their rationale being that it was a good ‘Father’s Day movie’.I... Read more
We are to welcome - everyone. Read more
Prayers for Congressman Steve Scalise. Also lobbyist Matt Mika who, at this point, is in critical condition. What does this shooting tell us about liberal Democrats? Not a damn thing, that’s what. It shows that evil and sin are apolitical. Yes, we’ve seen an uptick in leftist assaults, attacks, riots, destruction, threats, calls for assassinations and actual assaults and attempted killings. That’s what happens when people lose. They go radical. Hence why, following 2008, there were so many despicable things... Read more
Of course I am. Terrorism isn’t just crime. Crime is bad of course, but crime has always been around. Pass all the laws you want, and people will still rob and rape and murder. But terrorism is something else. They say terrorists want us to be afraid. Possibly. That’s a natural reaction as I see it. There is good fear. Fear isn’t always bad. It keeps us from doing things like playing in traffic and letting our babies wander around... Read more
Hemant Mehta, of the Friendly Atheist, has pointed out the obvious: America belongs to traditional Christians, too. Unfortunately a few comments suggest the opinion that Christians had best get to the catacombs and ghettos where they belong has its supporters. But others are squarely on the side of common sense. Nonetheless, Mr. Mehta did the right thing, and it’s nice to see. Bonus note: this seems to be picking up steam. When I looked around for stories just a... Read more
I almost overlooked this date, with all the family celebrations. But another reason to celebrate, and one of the most important speeches of the 20th century. I remember it well. Gorbachev, who was treated like The Beatles when he came to the US later that year, was the man who would save us all. And here was Reagan, throwing down the gauntlet. Today, we’re told that everyone was just thrilled with his speech. But being a young Political Science major... Read more
And a shameless display of his awesomeness. The proud papa and mama couldn’t be happier or prouder. The Lord bless him and keep him, and make His face shine upon him, for all his days. Read more
