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 [...]

Chuck Baldwin for President
Still not convinced but I like this ad.
And this youtube one ::
I’m tired of being told who not to vote for. As the election day draws closer, the emails claiming “this puts the final nail in the coffin” “this is all the proof you need to not vote for…” continue to increase.
Wish someone would give [...]

McCain’s acceptance speech
(word cloud of mccain’s speech)
Didn’t watch McCain’s speech last night. Figured there’d be nothing new he’d say — figured it would be more of the same “I was a POW” stories that I keep hearing over and over and over again — especially from other folks at the GOP convention.
Don’t know if he tells it [...]

Lingering Questions
Tripp Fuller shared a great thought today via his blog:
Listening to both parties each night has made me confident that the church really needs to quit outsourcing its vocation.
Makes a world of sense to me. Seems like the less the church does, the more the government feels it needs to step in to care [...]

Quote for the day
“Religiously, the majority of America’s young are postmodern, which means they do faith like jazz: informal, eclectic, and often without theme. They have largely rejected organized religion in favor of a religious pastiche that works for them. They think nothing of hammering together a personal faith from widely differing religious traditions, and many acquire their [...]

Ron Paul ends his campaign
June 12, 2008 – Ron Paul has ended his campaign for President in 2008. Guess he wanted to out last Hillary on the campaign trail.
Still wish things had gone better for him. He was my next pick behind Mike Huckabee.

Sen. Barack Obama :: on faith (or why I liked him in the first place)
Back in October 2006 I shared a post that really turned me onto Barack Obama. I thought it was fitting to re-share this now that just about everyone has declared him the presumptive DNC nominee.
The story is an excerpt from a speech from which was delivered at the Sojourners/Call to Renewal-sponsored Pentecost conference in June [...]
