The day before I flew to Uganda I ended up at Holy Trinity Brompton in London where I heard this song, Happy Day, by their worship leader Tim Hughes. It stuck in my head throughout the trip. The words and music were such stark contrasts to what I saw around me. It seemed only natural…

Ross Douthat is a scary smart human… read his post on sexual morality.

Looking around at all the stunningly bad economic news, I bring back for your reading pleasure a post I wrote March 14, 2007… my fears about our Yertle economy…

The ancients and the moderns have written eloquently on these issues. The problem, of course, is that there really isn’t a pleasing answer. The most convincing…

Well this is something worth writing about. Today in Mississippi (I do love spelling that state), Sen. Obama smacked down Hillary Clinton’s utter arrogance at suggesting he be vice president on her ticket. “Now first of all with all due respect, with all due respect,” he said here during a town hall meeting. “I won…
