Radical Islam

Nov

2006

I’m currently watching a special on CNN Headline News by Glenn Beck, entitled, “Exposed: The Extremist Agenda.” It has some serious warnings for peace loving people around the world. Now, before I go on, let me make it perfectly clear that I have nothing against Muslims. I DO have a problem with Radical Islam. There ...

The Little Things 1

Nov

2006

It’s the little things in life, more often than the big things, that seem to cause us the most headaches. Why is that? I was listening to Ron Hutchcraft this morning on his daily “A Word With You” program on the Family Life Network (90.3 FM for those of you in the New York/Pennsylvania area). ...

What Republicans Need?

Nov

7

2006

Maybe we, Republicans and Conservatives, need the Democrats to whip their respective Republican candidates around tonight and swing the balance of power on Capitol Hill. We need to get energized and more involved as a whole. We need I think to see Republicans stand for Republican values and not be wishy washy and involved in ...

2006

It is election time, and it wouldn’t be like me to not talk about something politically related. Today’s hot button issue – abortion. Let’s start off with some “facts”.

Being Tested

Oct

2006

This past Sunday the speaker at church spoke on living in unity with fellow Christians. I really enjoyed the message, and it made sense, seeing as how we are looking for a new pastor. What I didn’t expect was that I would be tested on this very teaching so soon in the week. We were ...

Sep

2006

I just read a blog by one of my good friends about the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, and I thought I’d throw in my 2 cents. This person asked some questions in their blog, and I thought I would answer them here. 1.) In those 5 years what have I done? Well, lots ...

Wrong, Mr. Gore

Aug

31

2006

I just got done watching Al Gore give his little save the planet speech on the MTV Video Music Awards. I won’t even bother wasting much time stating that the fact that Mr. Gore uses a “do as I say and not as I do” approach when it comes to the environment. Just do some ...

Watching History

Aug

20

2006

There are only a few times in my life when I’ve felt like I’ve been watching history. Michael Jordan and the Bulls winning all their championships in the 1990’s, September 11, 2001, and the various wars I’ve lived through. Today I’m watching Tiger Woods make history by winning his 12th major championship. To those of ...

Reminder

Aug

10

2006

The happenings this morning in England are a reminder of the increasingly crazy world that we live in. A reminder that we can’t just sit back and assume that everything will go back to normal. A reminder that there are people who are bent on two things: the destruction of Israel, and the destruction of ...
