America's Budget-Busting Foreign Policy Disconnect

A recent Gallup poll shows that 81% of Americans want the President to be focused on domestic issues, while 9% say they want him to focus on foreign policy issues. Not too surprising….Until you consider that the fastest growing domestic priority is the deficit (69%). The lopsided number between the importance of the deficit and the importance of foreign policy is the... (posted by Aaron 81 days 12 hours ago.)

Jesus Forbids Exclusion!

The term evangelical Christian and I share a love/hate relationship. On the one hand, I believe in the good news of Jesus’ death and resurrection and desire to share the implications of this news with others.

A funny thing happened on Easter Sunday. Our son Isaac has this annoying habit of taking his shoes off and throwing them while he's in the car. Usually the shoes end up on the floor in front of the car seat, but not always. On Easter Sunday my wife and I invited my father in law to come to our church.
