Temporary Stewards

When Rush Limbaugh mentioned the fact that politicians were “temporary stewards” at the Conservative Political Action Conference, my mind immediately went to work. I began thinking of other areas in our lives where we are “temporary stewards.” In this piece, I point out some of those areas and how we must fight to “protect, preserve and defend” what we have been given.

The Obama Transparency

January 20th, 2009, Barack Obama, became the 44th President of The United States of America.
Twenty-four days into his administration, I have questions.
Lest you think I don’t have the right to ask, or the qualifications to inquire on such things, let me remind anyone reading this and all Americans who I am, and thus, who they [...]

Hey everyone,

A Call 2 Action - Response Required!

Webster defines complacency as:
“self-satisfaction especially when accompanied by unawareness of actual dangers or deficiencies.”
This week, the Republican minority of the House of Representatives chose to band together and rise up against the socialist agenda of the liberal Democratic majority. Ultimately, they were defeated, but the headline was not “Democrats Pass Economic Stimulus Bill In The [...]

O Say Can You See…

“Daddy, is Barack Obama our President? Does he believe in Jesus? What does he mean by change? Does that mean we will have to change?”
These are the words of an 8 year old girl from Texas…my 8 year old girl. Simple questions to a difficult situation. From her perspective, she sees a [...]

unConservative: Part 1

Today I am beginning a new series (of which I am not completely sure how many parts there will be) entitled, “unConservative.” The concept of the series comes from the book by David Kinnaman and Gabe Lyons called, “unChristian.” As I have been reading that book, the obvious parallel between the message of “unChristian” and [...]

A Conversation with A Liberal

This is a rather long post because of the length of conversation, but I’m afraid you [...]

The Call of History
——————–
One of my favorite historians is David Barton of WallBuilders (www.wallbuilders.com). In fact, other than Christ and my family, when it comes to my call to rise, the two people I credit the most with inspiring me to rise would be Governor Mike Huckabee and David Barton (followed closely by Hugh [...]

My Take on The Christmas Story

Ok, you’ve heard this one, right? There was a girl, she was pledged to be married, she became pregnant while still a virgin (kind of important), had a baby boy, named him Jesus, a couple of cows, sheep, goats, camels, partridge in a pear tree, and a few shepherds, and that pretty much sums it [...]
