In yesterday's post I talked about whether or not we need God in our lives. Obviously I think we do as the evidence of us pushing Him away becomes more and more evident with each passing day. With that, I have a confession to make... I was part of the problem. You see I grew …

Abortion for the Common Good
If you follow politics, you'll often hear the phrase, "the Common Good". This is most often heard from those on the Progressive Left, who love to enact programs and laws which they claim are for the "Common Good". It never seems to amaze me that a group who actively seeks to remove God and all …
Are We Following the Wrong Shepherds
When I read scripture, I am always struck how timeless it really is. Whether in the New or Old Testaments, we can always find something which will relate to what is going on in the world today. Let's look at Ezekiel 34 (EZ:34). EZ 34 tells us what happens when we have a lot of …
Let’s Reverse the Trend
A recent article on TownHall.com written by John Hawkins in which he outlines five signs that American society is degenerating. I agree with all five and can be all traced to one main cause. The five signs are as follows: Dependency Debt Decay in entertainment Politics Marriage When you read Hawkins' descriptions of these five, …
What’s In It For Me
In my last two posts I bemoaned the results of the presidential elections. My take on the results is that we have become a "What's in it for me" culture and we vote accordingly, for whoever will give us more, for less. We have also become a "culture of death", where many of us no …
The Future is Now
Two more days to make some much needed changes to this country. This is where you can either vote for more of the same, and we can continue on the path to destruction, or vote for real "Hope and Change" and get us back on track to being the country we were founded to be. …
SCOTUS Ruling: Forget About It
For three days now I have been reading about Obamacare and the SCOTUS decision and whether it's good or bad, especially regarding the current fight against the HHS mandate. Let me sum it up this way: IT DOESN'T MATTER!Why? Becasue whether or not this ruling will affect the HHS mandate (personally I don't think it …
Lance, Lance, Lance, I’m So Dissapointed
I have never liked or used the term "hero" in my life. Any time you put someone on a pedestal like that there is a chance they just might fall off. Such is the case this week with Lance Armstrong. Armstrong won the Tour De France, arguably the world's premiere bicycle race more that any other racer in …
It All Has to Start at Home
I am always heartened when I read something about youth involved in our faith. The latest was a blog post I found this morning. As I have written here before, I feel in one way I have failed my children by not practicing my faith when I was younger, now they don’t either. This means …
Is It the End of Morality
Have we travelled down a road from which there is no return? Have we lost control? Can we fix the problems the Progressive movement has caused?Recently I have begun to wonder how much of our society’s problems are caused by what I will term, outside influences. I am not a psychologist or a sociologist or an aplogist like our …
