I cannot imagine the gravity of the vote. These men held destiny in their hands that day. When we connect the dots backwards, their action seems inevitable. But at the time, they were representatives of 13 separate and independent colonies, each with its own culture and government, set on the task of considering whether to try to unite in order to fight a war of independence against the country that most of them had always considered their own. By voting... Read more
Red Skelton gave this Pledge of Allegiance on national television many years ago. It’s probably more valuable for us now than it was then. Watch it and ponder how great this country is. America is an experiment in government of, by and for the people. What kind of America will we hand forward to our children and grandchildren? Each generation of Americans has the responsibility to protect and defend freedom. This does not always mean putting on a uniform and... Read more
They’re having a romping, stomping, Texas-sized fight down in Austin, all over efforts to pass a bill that would, among other things, ensure that abortion clinics abide by the same regulations as other out-patient surgical facilities. How fey. And how typical. This is how Dr Kermit Gosnell came to be the monster that pro choice built. Fanatic nuts on the pro abortion side of the abortion debate will not abide any, and I mean any regulations of abortion clinics. Nothing... Read more
Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper, says he “made a mistake” when he said “No sir. Not wittingly.” He’s sent a letter to Senator Dianne Feinstein apologizing for his “mistake.” The question that prompted this “mistake” was one in which Mr Clapper was asked if his agency collects “any type of data on millions or hundreds of millions of Americans.” His answer, which he gave under oath, was “No sir. Not wittingly.” Enter Edward Snowden, the man who the press... Read more
Jesus is a love story. It begins with His love for us, and then, as we accept Him as our Savior and begin to become conformed to His teaching, it is also about our love for Him. Conversion begins by falling in love with Christ. Like all love stories, it’s unalloyed joy at the beginning. Jesus is gentle with those who are babes in Him. He gives a lot and doesn’t ask much. But as time goes on, the Holy... Read more
Kathy Shiffer, who blogs at Seasons of Grace, published a letter to the American people from Edward Snowden in Edward Snowden, Reluctant Refugee, Pens an Open Letter.  It turns out that Mr Snowden is living in an airport terminal in Russia. That’s a hard life. But it probably protects him from one of the fears that Ron Paul voiced. “I’m worried that somebody in our government might kill him with cruise missile or a drone missile,” Dr Paul has... Read more
To join the discussion about Resurrection Year, or to order a copy, go here. Infertility treatment grinds you down, both physically and emotionally. It involves taking large doses of hormones that make you feel lousy. Your blood must be monitored on a daily basis to make sure the hormone levels in your body are not getting dangerous, and you have to go through daily ultrasounds to check your ovaries. There’s a lot more to it than what I just said;... Read more
I’ve written before that Dr Gosnell is the monster that pro choice built. Dr Gosnell is the recently convicted serial killer/abortionist who operated what some people have described as a “chamber of horrors” in Pennsylvania. I knew I would catch some flak for saying that, and I did. But I had said it advisedly, based on my experience on both sides of the abortion wars. I knew what I was talking about. We are seeing the dynamic I referred to... Read more
Edward Snowden is the source of leaks that allowed the American people to learn that their government had them under surveillance. Not, mind you, that the government had suspected terrorists under a legitimate, court-ordered surveillance based on some sort of evidence that gave probable cause of wrong doing. Nope. The government had and has all of us, or at least those of us who use email and cell phones, under surveillance. It is scooping up our private thoughts and dumping... Read more
