Where does it stop?
So here we are. Our government is handing out billions of dollars to banks, the auto industry, and other major financial institutions attempting to shore up weaknesses in our financial system and economy. Now they are taking a company (GM) that is not government owned and forcing the CEO to step down and the company to reorganize. Not only are they being forced to reorganize they are having...

Read MoreRace for the Galaxy: Review
I received this game for Christmas and it sat around in my game cabinet for a while. Too long. This was not due to me not wanting to play it. It was due to the fact that I had to learn it. Usually when we sit down to play a game we don’t have time to sit there and go through the rules and I don’t like reading rules so far in advance that I can’t remember what they said...

As one of the millions of witnesses to our economy’s collapse, I have been watching with great interest what is happening with the bailouts. The one I am referencing here is the original 800 billion that our government handed out (on the peoples behalf, because it is our money and our government) to various financial institutions including banks and insurance companies.

The culture war is in full swing. There are at least two sides that both want their views to dominate the way our nation goes about it’s daily activities. One of those sides, the one I am addressing, is the Christian side. Before I continue I want everyone to understand that I am not advocating that we stop trying to influence society or our nations politics. We are called to be in this...

Read MoreRecommendation
Have you ever read a book or watched a movie that you felt compelled to recommend to someone else? Or have you had an experience that you know someone would greatly enjoy or that their life would be fuller for experiencing it? When we experience something like this we inevitably want to share it with others that we know and love. Why do we want to share these things? When I read a great book I...
Read MoreIn Name Only
What’s in a name? A title? What are the attributes of your life that set you apart from the people around you? A fireman who runs into a burning building, putting himself at risk for the sake of another is called “hero”. A man who beats his wife is called “scum”. Both men earned these names. Both are deserving of the privilege or scorn that follows them...
