Enough

| April 13, 2013

If Bible alone were sufficient, Joel Osteen and Ted Dekker would not have careers. We would never have heard of C. S. Lewis or John Bunyan. Martin Luther, John Calvin, and Jan Huss would not have had any reason to start new denominations, let alone branches that have different beliefs from one another. But all […]

Jesus is not my homeboy.

| February 18, 2013

Jesus is not my homeboy. He is my Lord, my Master, and my King. He is my example and my better. He is my Bread of Life. Jesus is not my buddy. He is my constant companion, My shepherd, my guide. He is my strength, My rock, My refuge. He is my beloved, and He […]

How to Treat a Democrat’s “Lady” Parts.

| November 7, 2012

I’d love to point you to this article at Egregious Twaddle, about this article at HuffPo, and just say “Enough said,” but I can’t help myself. The comment box says things like “I woke up this morning and didn’t find a republican in my vagina.” I take it not having a republican in her vagina […]

2 Things about marriage

| October 15, 2012

1. A strong marriage requires sharing of values. 2. A happy marriage requires that each person consider him or herself responsible for the other one’s happiness. Where do “interests” come in? Wherever you wish, so long as they don’t interfere with 1 and 2. A married person should never take on an “interest” that actively […]

Not so devastating

| June 3, 2012

Several times in the past year or two I have read or heard someone talk about the “devastating” news that their child had autism. You know what? That kind of talk makes me mad. I mean, really mad. Don’t get me wrong: I’m not entirely unsympathetic toward parents who face a difficult road. Having special […]

Things I Don’t Understand

| November 22, 2011

If people are outraged about CEO salaries, why did they not protest in the streets when Obama, after promising an economic stimulus package, gave all the money to CEOs? We have a man in the white house who makes fun of learning-disabled people. He is comfortable with the killing and disposal of inconvenient people, including […]

| November 9, 2011

When I was student teaching early in the year, I ran out of time. Between teaching, and the associated homework for my teaching program, and the classes on the side, there was scarcely time to hug my kids or wash the dishes, let alone blog. After I finished my master’s program, I didn’t feel like […]
