Too Tired To Hate

Following up on yesterday’s post. Thanks to a true brother Dan Collins for first pointing me in the story’s direction; read his take on the matter. And watch/listen to the interview with Rep. Michele Bachmann, either here at GAC, Dan’s most excellent Piece Of Work In Progress blog or its original location at Breitbart.tv.

Political World

Some thoughts tomorrow.

Missed Opportunity (Again)

There are times one wonders what exactly people are thinking. Or rather, not thinking when it comes to how they are perceived by others.

Christians have something of a dual perspective on such things. While one one hand they know it doesn’t matter what the world thinks of them individually or collectively in terms of their standing . . . → Read More: Missed Opportunity (Again)

This Time It’s Personal

It’s easy to view politics with a jaundiced eye, assuming little if anything done in Washington or elsewhere can possibly have that much effect on you and yours.

Which is the way we want it, really.

Most of us want to be left alone to live our lives. We know and understand how to conduct ourselves in society; . . . → Read More: This Time It’s Personal

Some People Can’t Help Themselves, I Guess

I like the Foo Fighters’ music a lot. Last year I went to see them in concert for the first time, and left rather wishing I hadn’t. It wasn’t that the performance was lacking. Rather, it was how in-between songs band leader Dave Grohl’s banter was an incessant stream of f-bombs. It was like being back . . . → Read More: Some People Can’t Help Themselves, I Guess

A Question Of Balance

Ofttimes in Scripture there are what on the surface appear to be contradictions yet in fact are nothing of the kind. Rather, they are illustrations of both sides in areas where one cannot live solely in one place.

For example, in Galatians Paul writes:

Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of . . . → Read More: A Question Of Balance

Assorted Musings On The Healthcare Debate

I haven’t written much about politics lately for various reasons: too busy with other projects, a general feeling that anything I’d say on the subject would fall into the same category as a country music songwriter penning an ode to drinkin’, dancin’ and honky-tonkin’. The subject’s already been covered. Nevertheless, thought I’d toss in my thoughts . . . → Read More: Assorted Musings On The Healthcare Debate

Who Cares If This Will Play In Peoria

Still running short of material, alas. Thus, for your dining and dancing pleasure here is yesterday’s column from the Examiner.

This one took a long time to write. I felt the need to constantly examine (no pun intended) the whys of its content. Was I writing what I believed, and was I willing to accept the instant . . . → Read More: Who Cares If This Will Play In Peoria

Cheap Talk

Talk is cheap. Except on the Internet, where it’s pretty much wholesale with free samplers available upon request. Or when not requested. One of the many services offered by and for humanity.

The cheapest of cheap talk comes from the political world, where as the saying goes when all is said and done a whole lot more . . . → Read More: Cheap Talk

Parrots Vs. The Prince Of Peace

Okay, “tomorrow” turned into three days later. My bad.

Anyway, picking up where I left off…

The fundamental question – the only question – in our lives beyond mere existence on this planet that matters is who do we think Jesus is. Everything else descends from this. And as mentioned last time, everything else is negotiable. Who Jesus . . . → Read More: Parrots Vs. The Prince Of Peace
