You know how things in life are never perfect? I’ve found with every good gift, there’s a shadow waiting to steal the joy you otherwise would’ve gotten from that gift. For example, you get a new car, but a hail storm put dents in the hood the first week. Or, you love your job but it takes so much time away from your family. Or you get a new puppy but now you can’t leave the house for more than... Read more
Yesterday the Daily Caller highlighted an excerpt from Jake Tapper’s interview with Rick Warren. In light of Mitt Romney’s all-but-inevitable nomination, he asked Warren, “Are Mormons Christians?” Here’s Warren’s response: “The key sticking point for evangelicals and actually for many is the issue of the trinity,” Warren said. “That’s a historic doctrine of the church — that God is three in one. Not three Gods, one God in father, son and Holy Spirit. Mormonism denies that. That’s a sticking point... Read more
The Wall Street Journal has a great article about Gov. Romney’s status as the frontrunner: The fight for the Republican presidential nomination appeared closer to a conclusion as Newt Gingrich on Sunday all but conceded to Mitt Romney, and Rick Santorum continued facing a money shortage in his home state of Pennsylvania, where he has two weeks to make a last stand before the primary. Mr. Gingrich, a former House speaker, called Mr. Romney “far and away the most likely... Read more
Every mother is told at the grocery store by a well-meaning older woman, “Enjoy these years. They are fleeting.” Usually the younger mom has to scrape the gum off her face, stuff the toddler back into the grocery cart, and dodge the grapes that the youngest might be flailing from an unknown location, to muster out a “Thanks. I’ll keep that in mind.” But now that my kids are thirteen, eleven, and four, I think I’m beginning to really understand... Read more

My daughter Naomi didn’t begin life with many advantages. She was born in one of the poorest countries and was one of it’s most destitute members. She was as starved as one can be and still survive, weighing only 12 pounds as a two year old toddler. When we picked her up from the orphanage, she didn’t even own the clothes on her back. But two years after her adoption, there she was… eating bacon wrapped scallop hors d’oeuvres... Read more

Once my Jewish friend Rene said to me, “I don’t know why you guys always ruin your religious holidays with weird symbols like Santa Claus and the Easter bunny. Christians have all the best holy days, but you always go and mess them up?” As I stood there looking at my Easter basket full of plastic green grass and neon pink plastic eggs, I knew she had a point. That’s why I was interested in Mark Driscoll’s take on what... Read more
Buckle your seat belts, evangelical friends. Noah Glyn points out that the mainstream media is suddenly very interested in religion. Last night, here’s some interesting footage from MSNBC. Noah writes: MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell attacked Mitt Romney, Mormonism, and Joseph Smith. According to O’Donnell, Smith only created Mormonism to justify his lax sexual mores. Watch the clip. And apparently, O’Donnell’s done it before. This second clip, apparently filmed after Gov. Romney’s excellent “Faith in America” speech, is from The McLaughlin... Read more
I didn’t get a chance to write about an issue I know has been burning in many of your minds: This season’s finale of The Bachelor was one of the worst finales in the show’s history of bad finales. The season seemed to end on a high note — on a mountain, with Ben Flajnik, down on his knee asking Courtney Robertson to be his wife. So far, so good. Immediately following that episode, however, ABC aired The Bachelor: After... Read more
