Pregnancy Takes No One By Surprise
Though the timing of a pregnancy may come as a surprise, virtually no one that has a physical relationship with another person is unaware that that activity can cause a pregnancy. Indeed, we’re explaining to children at ever younger ages how children are made a formed along with providing them with means and methods that [...]
Missing the Reason For the Season
During the Middle Ages, as the Roman Empire was “Christianized” by Constantine and became the Holy Roman Empire, and as more people groups were conquered, the Popes of the day decided that it was easier to bring new peoples into the Christian religion by “Christianizing” holidays that people were already celebrating by attaching Christian events [...]
What is the Temperature of Your Heart?
I think the first time that I was confronted with homelessness was overseas. I was 12 at the time, and we were travelling through Paris and in different places that we visited there were homeless people in different tunnels—something I hadn’t seen before in my small town in the United States. Homelessness is tragic, as [...]
Honesty Is The Best Policy
One of the foundations of the Mosaic law is the idea of honesty—it’s embedded in the Ten Commandments: You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. Although the value of honesty is obvious, the fact that this concept was codified when it was is interesting. Much of the Middle East at the time was [...]
High Deductible Health Care Plans
No one wants to be sick, and many employers provide some sort of health insurance, the question is: Is the standard health plan with copays, coinsurance and deductibles the best for your wallet?
The Folly of “It’s a Wonderful Life”
Every year we take to watching a series of Christmas movies, and one we rarely miss is “It’s a Wonderful Life.” I’m sure you’re familiar with the story. For his whole life George Bailey has had to do without, and at this Christmas he finds that he may end up in jail because his Uncle [...]
Obama and the Party Crashers
Of course the Party Crashers had no business being in the White House without an invitation, and they should have been excused the moment that they were found to be off the guest list… I’m still not sure how these types of people keep getting in?
On January 14, 2052…
A radio commercial I hear almost every day has the voices of children claiming that one day they will discover the cure for HIV/AIDS, be President of the United States, and broker a peace treaty between Israel and Palestine—if only we’ll say yes to the latest education fad. A television commercial asking us to donate [...]
Just Another Pretty Face?
Americans expect more from women. It’s not enough to be bright or have the ability to multi-task. We also expect them to look good. Ann Althouse took this us with the image above (click to see article) in a discussion about a series of statements Rush Limbaugh made about whether the American people would like [...]
Courting: The Only Way To Find a Mate
On November 19, Katy Case entered into a courtship relationship with a young man, with the intent that she would marry him. I’m very excited for her, in that she has left one stage of life and is preparing to walk into another. I believe that part of the way to fix the current erosion [...]
Slavery and Prison
A lot is said about the Bible and slavery. Every time I get into a discussion or read someone trying to make an argument about the Bible being archaic in terms of social progress, one of the comments that shows up is that the Bible condoned or put forth a system that included slavery. What [...]
How Are You Preparing For the Next Emergency?
Many of us don’t prepare for emergencies. We live with the notion that what is now is what will be—if not better. This is something I touched on yesterday on the subject of Joblessness, but it pertains to financial planning as well. While some people may have money saved for retirement (and fewer that have [...]
Joblessness: You Can’t Have It Both Ways
Being a software engineer, I’ve worked with computers for many years, and one of the things that I can’t stand is when, after working hours on a project, I find out the hard way that the project was not saved. After spending all that time to get it just right, I have nothing to show [...]
The Government Can
To the tune of “The Candyman Can”—a hilarious but scarily true commentary on recent government taxation and spending.
