Radical Islam

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

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). ...

Abortion

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”. I use the quotes, because you never know how much of what you read online you can trust. That being said, here are the following facts ...

Good Times With Old Friends

There’s something to be said for spending quality goof-off time with old friends – the people who knew you before you became the person you are today. Last night a group of my fellow high school graduates, my wife, and I went out to Dinner at the Dumpling House in Wellsboro. They have great Chinese ...

Being Tested

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 ...

White & Nerdy 2

You don’t even have to be a nerd to find the humor in this one.

Mistakes 2

I hate making mistakes. I mean I really absolutely abhor making mistakes. However, just this morning, I was reminded of something I’ve heard my dad say before. It goes something like, “if you can’t make a mistake, you can’t make anything.” I just turned 26 this year (scary thought), and I think I’m starting to ...

Fear

I struggle with fear sometimes, probably not the same fear you do, but maybe it is. I think we all fear something at one point or another in our lives. Fear of change. Fear of failure (that’s a big one for me.) Fear of death. Fear of letting other people down. Fear of the unknown. ...

U.N. General Assembly = Bush Bashing Festival

Last time I checked, I thought the purpose of the United Nations was to promote peace on Earth, help struggling Nations, assist during wars/breakouts of violence, etc. Apparently, this week its purpose is to promote bashing of President Bush in any way shape or form possible. I have my own thoughts on the usefulness of ...

5 Years Later 2

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 ...
