Who is to Blame for the Sandy Hook Massacre?
It was nearly two years ago that the horrific shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School took place. Precious young lives were snuffed out by a man whose heart was evil and deranged. May God spare us another such tragedy and show us mercy.
A Sad End to a Funny Man's Life
I am a child of the 80s. I grew up on Mork & Mindy. It was there I, like so many others, got laugh-after-laugh watching the crazy antics of Robin Williams.
Academic Freedom . . . Ah the Stench of Liberal Liberty!
Bowdoin College in Maine has joined the slowly-but-surely expanding list of institutions of higher learning that now define "freedom" in terms of tyranny and tolerance (so-called).
Thanks Candice Cameron Bure . . . For Nothing
Candice Cameron Bure, of childhood stardom, has been an outspoken believer in Jesus Christ for decades now. She has published books, and is respected among conservative Christian circles. I, too, have held her in high regard. So, I want to begin this post by saying "thanks" to Candice for taking a very public and open stand for faith in Christ.
Where Your Treasure Is . . .
President Obama just made public his new budget proposal. I'm not an economist. I cannot imagine how difficult it must be to develop a budget for a nation as sprawling and, `rank`ly, out of control as the United States of America. Once a government program is in place, it is almost always impossible to cancel or kill it. The beast grows heads, and our federal government is Medusa on steroids!
The Duck Dynasty Dilemma
It was inevitable.
What Sportsmanship?
If we were to ask a random sampling of parents of high-schoolers what purpose sports serve, we might get some of the following answers:
Happy Birthday America!
As we celebrate Independence Day in America, I am so conflicted.
Playing God
Well, I guess it's official. According to an article in the Baptist Press paper by Tom Strode, "Human cloning apparently has arrived." Some scientists in Oregon (big surprise, right?) report that they cloned human embryos. Their purpose was to produce stem cells. So, after only a few days of life, these scientists-turned-murderers "extracted" the stem cells.
Bye-Bye Boy Scouts
The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) signed its own death warrant at their national convention last week. Granted, they did not go all the way down the path of destruction. They now accept boys who are active homosexuals, but do not allow adult leaders who are active homosexuals to serve. But, if we have learned anything from our US Military, we know where this journey is going to end.
