What's So Amazing About Grace?
June 13th, 2005I finished reading "What's So Amazing About Grace" by Philip Yancey this week. Not a great book, but it did impact me and I'd recommend it. A few thoughts from the book that I came away with.
"The world can do almost anything as well as or better th… more »
You Might be an Evangelical if. . .
June 2nd, 2005Found this on Common Grounds Online and thought it was funny. (Here's part 2) My favorite:
If you see a Gold’s Gym t-shirt and then think that a “God’s Gym” t-shirt would be really cool…you might be an evangelical.
There were a couple I didn't… more »
The Great Debate
May 23rd, 2005The first time I read “The Three Minute Abortion Debate” it was a little uncomfortable because at one time I was the insufferable liberal. And yes, I did sound that stupid when arguing about abortion with someone. You can’t really blame me. There is n… more »
Beating a Dead Horse (tacky pun unintended)
March 29th, 2005God made you or he didn't.
If he did, your little human life is, and has been, touched by the divine. If this is true, it would be true of all humans, not only some. And so--again, if it is true--each human life is precious, of infinite value, worthy… more »
Christians and Libertarianism
March 11th, 2005I had posted this link on a friend's blog but realized that I hadn't ever posted it here. This is was originally a speech given at some Libertarian convention. The speakers/writers give their reasons why their Christian beliefs coincide more closely with… more »
OK, I Might be a Hypocrite
March 8th, 2005After all my online pro-life rants, I found myself posting this comment on Matt's blog:
If someone is hurting or taking my kids and my only way of stopping them is
to kill them, you can be sure I would – in a heartbeat. Not sure HOW I’d go

I Agree With Pat Robertson
March 4th, 2005Bet you didn't expect me to ever say that! But add Robertson's declaration from an April, 2000 NY times story as my third reason why Christians should not support the death penalty.
Declaring that the death penalty discriminates against members of

The Three Minute Abortion Debate
March 4th, 2005Came across this article by Bruce Bethke and thought it was a thing of beauty. I could make lots of comments about it, but I'll just let it speak for itself. more »
Don't Get Me Started, Don't Even Get Me Started
March 3rd, 2005Too late. I've been corresponding with a dear friend in regards to my inflammatory post about Christians and the death penalty. This conversation has led me to want to clarify my position.
My main argument against the death penalty is that we are human.… more »
More Stuff - Nintendo 64
February 28th, 2005We have more stuff to add to our collection. Maly has been bugging us to get her a video game system so she can play games on the TV. She has friends who have them and she always loves to play them. She still had some birthday money and so we helped h… more »
Random Rants
February 26th, 2005I've had several ideas for things I wanted to blog about this week. Many of them would require more research than I'm able to put in to do them justice so I've scrapped the idea. But I've got to release my pent-up frustration so I'm giving some mini-rant… more »
Questions for God
February 21st, 2005Maly is full of questions. She bombards me with them constantly. I try to answer her questions to the best of my ability, but when I'm not sure how to answer her I'll just tell her, "I don't know. We'll have to ask God that one when we see him." One day… more »
Shaking Things Up a Bit
January 19th, 2005This issue isn't necessarily timely, but it's been on my mind for months now and I haven't had an outlet to let my thoughts out - UNTIL NOW! (lightening, thunder, maniacal laughter)
Do we really need a constitutional amendment to keep marriage between a… more »
