What Do You Do If You Come Up Short?
What are you wasting your money on? That really is the biggest question that you have to answer when it comes to saving money and creating a budget. You see, we all waste money—we impulse buy things that we see, we buy things at full price instead of waiting for a sale, and we buy [...]
Congress Really Doesn’t Care If It’s Constitutional
When a person is brought into an office in the Federal Government– from the President down to the Senators and Congressmen– they are administered an oath of office that includes upholding and defending the Constitution. And it seems that’s the last time that they actually think about it. After that oath, everything becomes all about [...]
President Obama’s Teleprompter Malfunctions
Not as big a deal as it was a few months ago, but here’s a funny take on President Obama’s reliance on the teleprompter. I especially find funny the part where he “loads the teleprompter to lecture his speech writers” and “the caps key got stuck so he ended up shouting the whole speech.”
Abortion: Should the Government Pay?
The 1976 Hyde Amendment was passed to prevent people that had moral problems with abortion from having to have their tax dollars fund abortion. This was part of the natural reaction of the Pro-Life side to the fact that the United States Supreme Court “found” the right to have an abortion hidden between the lines [...]
Is It Wrong For Women to Wear Pants?
In Paris, France, the answer would be yes. In 1800, a Paris police chief introduced a rule banning women from dressing like men—namely by wearing pants instead of skirts and dresses. This idea is not that foreign. The Biblical Old Testament speaks of it being wrong for women to dress like men such that you [...]
Keep It In Perspective
Changing your location can have a great impact on how you see things—your life, the way that you’re living. It can help focus you and it can change your outlook. When Elizabeth Esther took a trip to Chicago recently, she found out that a trip in a taxi helped her gain perspective on her life.
Ruth: A Lesson in Poverty
The Bible’s teaching on poverty could be summed up with one verse and two concepts. In Mark 14, a woman had come to anoint Jesus for burial, and the disciples were upset at the size of the gift—it was very expensive perfume. Posturing, the disciples suggested that the money could be sold for much money [...]
Christmas Savings
It’s that time of year again. Time when most people start whipping out the plastic in order to purchase gifts that are on someone’s wish-list because we know that they’re going to get something for us. Call me cynical, but the Christmas season has become a lot less about The Gift and more about a [...]
Governing By Fear
Every party does it. Once a party gets control of a branch of government– let alone every branch of government– the party that just got into power is overwhelming concerned about keeping that power. In some ways this is good. It allows for moderate government to prevail, and usually it’s the case that the country [...]
Big Bird Takes Mrs. Obama To Task
Poking fun at our First Lady by dubbing over Sesame Street characters, this video is good for a laugh.
Pro-Life Fridays
We’re going to resurrect Pro-Life Fridays and start looking again at life in the womb by answering some more Pro-Choice questions. This is an exciting time for the Pro-Life movement, for in the middle of a terrible health care bill came a surprise in the further limiting of Federal Funding when it comes abortions. So, [...]
Culture Thursdays
What is the pulse of the culture? Where is it going? What are the trends? It is on Thursdays we’ll tackle some of the big issues of living in today’s society. We’ll talk about leaders and those that influence what is going on around us. We’ll talk about cultural trends and whether or not they’re [...]
Shout Out Wednesday
Wednesday will be all about highlighting things that are going on at other blogs and news sources. I’ll either take the time to highlight something in depth, bring up a comment thread that’s going on in the past on this site, or respond in comment form to something I’ve been reading. This is your chance [...]
Bible Talk Tuesdays
Tuesdays I’ve reserved for talk about Biblical issues, specifically how they relate to our society and culture. Though I would say that all of what’s written here is from a Biblical worldview and direction, on Tuesdays I want to try to focus in on what the Bible says about different topics specifically. One of the [...]
Money Mondays
I’m going to start trying to inject a little more discipline as well as try to keep to a given topic for each day with the hopes of helping me to remain more consistent in my blogging. This week I hope to introduce the 5 or so topics I will be covering, and next week [...]
