When Did Jesus Play for Denver?

It wasn’t his desire, and it wasn’t his doing.  And yet, it happened all the same. Tim Tebow, the outspoken Christian quarterback who was drafted in the first round and many believe should be a tight end, fullback or safety,  is causing a stir with his faith.  It seems that a handful of Denver fans [...]

Was Cinderella Pregnant for 28 Years?

I don’t know if you’re following ABC’s latest hit show, Once Upon a Time, but the plot revolves around the wicked queen of the story of Snow White casting an evil spell over all the fairy tales taking away their “happily ever after.”  They’re only hope is the daughter of Prince Charming (AKA James) and [...]

Gay Marriage Isn’t The Problem, It’s A Symptom

This week will mark the end of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell for the military.  A few months ago, New York State became the largest state to accept homosexual partners in “marriage”.  Many people may say “So what?  How does it affect you?” Truth be told, the immediate effects of these rulings will not be see, [...]

Girl Risks Life to Save Boy She Doesn’t Know From Drowning

Young Charles “Dale” Ostrander was caught out in the waves of the Pacific Ocean by a rip tide, and if it weren’t for Nicole Kissel (another 12 year old), he may not be alive today.

Atheists Object to World Trade Center Cross

A piece of the World Trade Center, a steel beam that was cross shaped, has been a symbol of home, and now it’s a symbol of controversy.  Why?  Atheists. You see, this beam was moved into the National September 11th Memorial and Museum where it’s to be in the permanent collection, and some people have [...]

Polygamy and Same Sex Marriage

Kody Brown has 4 wives—well, technically, his legal wife is the one hiding behind his back, the rest are “sister wives”.  They, and their sixteen children, appear on “Sister Wives” on TLC.  Why is this interesting?  Because they are attacking Utah’s anti-polygamy laws based on the fact that they should be able to define “family” [...]

Please Pick Up Your Clothes

Gay Marriage and Newsweek

An older version of Newsweek Magazine tries to reconcile Gay Marriage with the Bible, and Albert Mohler is there with some great observations, but it’s his conclusion that we need to pay attention to:

At What Point Do Things Like This Stop?

If you follow the guidelines they shouldn’t have a problem, right? The latest case of TSA tyranny to hit the headlines comes in the form of a young mother who was subjected to enhanced groping and then shut inside a screening box for almost an hour by agents after she refused to allow them to [...]

Female Teachers Haven’t Stopped

In the many years that the female teacher-male student scandals were thrust into our view, you would think that these would have abated, and yet exactly the opposite has happened. It doesn’t seem that a week goes by that another teacher is accused of having physical relations with a member of her class, with no [...]

The List No One Wants To Be On

Our culture is conflicted.  While it preaches “safe” and “random” sexual encounters, those that engage in this activity still wish to appear that they are not as active as they really are. So, whereas the culture should look at what happened in Westchester County as a badge of pride, the “smut list” was instead a [...]

Seriously, You Think This is a Dress?

So it’s come out that Kate Middleton (the future wife of Prince William) caught his eye wearing the “outfit” that you see to the right—and this can all be yours at an upcoming London auction! I wouldn’t call this a dress, nor would I call it a skirt: The garment was initially intended to be [...]

It Takes Two

It was High School.  Eleventh Grade.  I was in Social Studies class and the teacher, a younger guy who was still full of energy and wanting to teach, decided that it would be interesting to get a class debate together decided on the topic of abortion. Abortion is a weird topic for teens, because many [...]

Is This The End of the United States of America?

Depending on who you read, this country is in for a bumpy ride.  The problem centers on a debt spiral that is out of control, and only getting worse. The latest reason for this pessimism comes from some recent statistics—35 percent of wages and salaries this year come from social welfare benefits such as Medicare, [...]

Why I’m Thinking of Leaving Facebook

I didn’t, originally, want anything to do with Facebook.  I had the advertising laden Classmates account—which I only used once—and I’m weird.  I mean, I once carried as a badge of honor never having eaten at a Taco Bell1.  It wasn’t until the summer that I was laid off that I actually created an account, [...]
