ISIS march 21 men onto a beach in Libya. Twenty of these men were Christians. One, a Chadian Citizen, was not. He watched the Coptic Christians die for Christ. When the terrorist murderer demanded that he reject Jesus Christ as his God, he replied, “their God is my God.” He was then beheaded with his Christian brothers. The joy in this story is that 21 martyrs to Christ entered heaven that day. They are praying for us now. From the... Read more
The Obama Administration has engaged in unseemly behavior, trying to block Prime Minister Netanyahu’s speech before Congress. I say it is unseemly because Congress is a separate body of government and it is their right to invite anyone they want into their house to address them. That simply is not the President’s call. I’m going to leave all the policy considerations alone, and leave it at that. I know how the Oklahoma House of Representatives would react if the Governor... Read more
Commander Domenico Giani, head of the Vatican police force says that talks he’s had with Italian and foreign colleagues have convinced him that ISIS’ threats against Pope Francis are real. He also said that Pope Francis is “fully aware of the risk,” but that Pope Francis is “the priest who does not want to lose touch with his flock” and that is “only concern is for the faithful.” From Breitbart: The head of the Vatican police force, or “Gendarmerie,” Commander...

Priests are human. I think I established my belief in the humanness and fallibility of priests a couple of weeks ago. I managed to outrage a lot of people by not being all that surprised or all that outraged by the fall from grace of one of our local priests. To be honest, I was a lot more surprised by the anger people felt toward him than by his action. Based on the reaction to that post, I’m buckling my seatbelt in preparation for this... Read more

Islamic wars of conquest against Christians had been going on for over 300 years when Pope Urban made his famous speech launching the first Crusade. The Crusades were defensive wars. Claims to the contrary are historical fantasy which are put forward as an excuse for Christian bashing. This anti-history is so widely taught and accepted that the President of the United States referenced it in a speech, conflating Christians and Christianity with the barbarism of ISIS. This speech ignored the... Read more
There was a time when I let my babies “style” my hair while I read or watched tv. Now, I just give them money. 🙂 Read more
The world has a name and a face to go with the mask and the knife. It turns out that Jihadi John, the serial killer in the ISIS videos, is an educated, well-to-do Londoner named Mohammed Emwazi. The early coverage of Mr Emwazi was the usual fill-in-the-blanks hand-wringing claptrap. Nobody said that Mr Emwazi’s murders were workplace violence, but that was one of the few cliches they missed. We were treated to the standard “he’s such a gentle person” from his... Read more
