On the issue of gun control
As you may have seen, I received an e-mail last week that bothered me a bit about gun control. I shared my response here on my blog.

Crazy times
I gave in and joined a couple discussion on Facebook over the weekend about faith and politics.
Several folks whom I consider good friends (and still do) made comments that basically said if you vote for any candidate that supports abortion, you need to really question your salvation and faith.
That really bothers me. But I [...]

The Faith of Barack Obama
I finished reading Stephen Mansfield’s (author of The Faith of George W. Bush) latest book, The Faith of Obama last week. In my opinion, it’s a great, well-balanced look at the 2008 Democratic Presidential Nominee, Barack Obama.
