“Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.” There is an evil and a hatred out there that, as individuals, we can only conquer with love and prayer. Governments, however, are called to a different purpose, and their job is to protect and defend.

Calling a woman a slut is NOT a war on women
We’ve gotten so good at throwing around extremes. We love everything and everyone, we’re BFFs with any and everyone. Not getting the latest iPhone on its release day makes it the worst day ever.

I doubt Netflix would see it the same. If anyone is cheap frugal, it’s me, and I’m all for getting somethingContinue reading “Sigh, Netfilx…or, yep, I’m crazy frugal”
You’ve got to stand for something…
President Obama Makes Hu Jintao Look Good On Rights (the full text of the editorial is below) I don’t believe what is coming out of either of their mouths. In school we’ve been studying WWII and the period directly after it. What struck me when we were reading about Truman wasn’t the fact that heContinue reading “You’ve got to stand for something…”
