Voting with Both Eyes Open
As I ponder and pray about the coming election and what my religious and societal duty to voting the correct person into the office of president is, I find myself engulfed in thought and emotions regarding so much of the words being tossed to and fro by both friends and strangers.

Jesus’ Birthday?
Are we looking for a fight or are we seeking truth? This is a great question, even if I say so myself. To be more specific, I want to direct this question to the idea of Christians celebrating the birth of Jesus on December 25th. That is to say, are there really grounds to be […]
