Attack Iran = Skyrocketing deficits!

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 first clue... (posted by Aaron 9 days 19 hours ago.)

In Memory of My Father In Law

Dear SearchWarp friends, I know it's been a while since I have written. For the record: I've not dropped off the planet. Just haven't felt very inspired to write. Call it a slump if you will. Sometimes words escape me, other times they flow off the fingers so easily I end up posting two or three blogs a week. It comes and goes. Then other times, something very important happens in your life that you can't help but write... (posted by Aaron 158 days 18 hours ago.)

Mr. President, will you please count the costs in Libya?

I’m glad I’m not the president right now. I can’t imagine what it would be like to be the commander and chief of the most powerful military in the world and have to grapple with a question as serious as “Should I use my power to establish a No-Fly zone over Libya?” Answer ‘no’ to the question and half the world accuses you of...

Christ on the American Road

Last year when I wrote the post Can Muslims Follow the Biblical Christ and still be Muslim? , about four people, all of them missionaries, wrote me and told me that I had to read Paul Gordon Chandler's Pilgrims of Christ on the Muslim Road. I did. It's every bit as good as what I heard, though the book led me to raise a different set of questions than the ones that drove me to read it in the first... (posted by Aaron 1 year 43 days ago.)
