I know a man who is quite proud of two things: his status as a unwavering liberal and his lavish lifestyle. He often boasts of his wealth, both in terms of cash on hand and investments. He lives in a luxurious home located (but of course) in the toniest of communities, something which he often references . . . → Read More: The Mirror Can Be Brutal

Jesus said, “My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command (Jn: 15:12-14).”

Picking up from yesterday…
On the surface, a free concert on a foggy beach in front of a few dozen faithful doesn’t sound like much. Don’t let the surface fool you. This was music from the heart addressing the three elements of life as we know it: earth, soul, and rock’n’roll.

Given that both sides are claiming victory and traditional media is heralding Obama in tonight’s debate, it’s safe to say neither side “won.” I give the edge to McCain, but then again I admit since I’m a conservative and McCain’s views far more often coincide with mine than Obama’s do it’s natural I’d believe this way. . . . → Read More: Debating The Debate

There was an op/ed column in the New York Times this past Sunday by Nicholas Kristof that while not warranting attention grabs some nonetheless.

And now, what I said would be yesterday's topic… today.
Faith, specifically the faith of a given candidate, has played a substantial role in this year's Presidential campaign. Barack Obama has seen his faith serve as both surprise and stress inducer.

I’ll talk about what I said yesterday I’d talk about today tomorrow. And if you followed that you’re doing better than I! Anyway, there’s something else I want to talk about today. Actually, someone.

When prepping to write this entry I happened to glance at the site stats and noticed this is the six hundredth post I’ve written for this blog. At least it’s not the six hundredth and sixty-sixth post, one to which I seriously doubt I’ll call much attention. Although I probably should make it one singing the . . . → Read More: Six Hundred

You do not have the option of demonizing those with whom you disagree.
