This from a conservative Christian friend who works in Washington but can’t yet let his presidential preferences be known. He makes a good case: If you are like me, you are pretty dissatisfied with the current so-called “frontrunners” in the upcoming Presidential election. But there is one candidate that is quietly getting more attention and…

2008 is approaching and things aren’t looking better for Republicans. The man that many had hoped would be the next Reagan, – not based on performance, vision, or ideology but on the fact that he is also an actor – Fred Thompson has been unveiled as an abortion-rights lobbyist.

A friend created this. No words, just watch: Click To Play Maybe it is because of my three young daughters and my increasing awareness of their too rapid growth; maybe it is because this so clearly a glimpse of how our Father sees us; maybe it is because this feels like one of those priceless…

Interesting new data out on teen birth rates and teen sexual activity: Birth rate decline was particularly steep among Black, non-Hispanic and Asian or Pacific Islander adolescents, ages 15-17, according to the Federal Interagency Forum on Child and Family Statistics, which released on Friday its first in a series of annual reports on the condition…

My friend is getting sicker. Little by little his hands and his arms and his body is deteriorating. It is the stuff that we take for granted that becomes so precious – the ability to pick up a phone, to type, to hug, to caress, to cut the grass, to wash a car…to dress oneself…
