A mini-rant about a major problem. How about we stop pointing fingers at one part of the body, and hold out a helping hand to the other.

Vessels of Honor
From my perusal of social media, I see that many American Christians have decided to wage war on a big, bad company that is trying to take Christ out of Christmas. Now, this company (I think we all the know the name, but it rhymes with Schmarbux) rakes in a gajillion dollars of Christians' money the … Continue reading Vessels of Honor
All Hail the King
“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people.

In a fit of over-inflated self-confidence, I signed up for the 30-mile distance, the longest distance I had biked in 13 years. (I wish these fits were rarer.) Let … Continue reading Burning Muscles and Aching Heart
