The penguin (and the abominable snowman) are back. As with their original appearance last fall, I want to say again that I do not endorse abominable snowmen smacking penguins and think this is just an artistic metaphor showing something…and is remarkably addictive. Note – Laura, broke the 3700 barrier.

Former NFL MVP and Arizona Cardinals QB, Kurt Warner tore ligaments in his left (non-throwing) elbow yesterday during a game. Last night he apparently sent out an email to family and friends saying he expected God would miraculously cure him before his MRI today. There have been more than a few barbs thrown at him…

In yet another article wondering why Mike Huckabee isn’t the Christian right’s darling, there is a hint as to the real answer. Christian conservative leader, Mark DeMoss, who is helping Romney recently wrote to fellow activists: “If I believed similar theology was paramount in a president, I would be writing this memo urging support of…

An intense article about Blackwater and its founder Erik Prince in the newly-remodeled version of Newsweek. Prince’s casual mingling of his Christian faith with his “private security firm” has always struck me as just a little bit odd.

I was talking to my friend Pia last week about poverty. She is an extraordinary woman committed to serving God with mind, heart, and hands.

There is a great exchange in Christianity Today about the so-called “red letter Christians” and their political and cultural positioning. Writer Stan Guthrie argues: …while Christians should not be beholden to any political party, our politics must be informed by our faith. Unfortunately, the platform of Red-Letter Christians always seems to come out of the…

There are shocking new allegations against Richard and Lindsay Roberts. There is something about the specificity of these allegations that has the smell of truth and a bigger scandal behind it.

We should dig Al Gore. We don’t have to agree with everything he says – or anything he says for that matter – but we should give him major kudos. The guy suffered the most vexing and difficult defeat in American presidential history. He won, he lost, he won, he lost and by and large…

Here’s the second random Friday question: Whatever happened to plain old soap in hotel rooms? I’m up here in New Haven and I’m staying in a perfectly nice (but in no way fancy) hotel. When I looked for the soap this morning to use in the shower all I found was a “Soothing Massage Bar:…
