During church today I had time to ponder why so much of Christianity is about living life after death, for focusing on everything but the world as it is right now. It’s not that I don’t believe in a better life after Christ, I do, but it seems to me that we are using the… Continue reading Paul had it wrong…

We’re a country of people who are all too often divided into an “us” or… Continue reading Penny Arcade

So Facebook has this post going around where Obama is saying the guns don’t make people safer while it has all his secret agents with their guns circled. I’m all for the 2nd Amendment and I’m for the responsible ownership of guns, but this particular message is a bit off center. The average citizen does… Continue reading Obama on gun control
