  • Two Americas, One Kingdom

    President Barack Obama has won four more years. As believers, we pray for our leaders. Good, bad, indifferent on this election, our call is clear. We pray for our leaders. As I listened to commentators (who obviously know so much) they spoke of two Americas that are forming. That is too bad. It may be true, but it is too…

  • Ayn Rand, Paul Ryan, Mormonism, and Religion in General

    When it comes to elections, as I stated before, it really should be tough. While one’s religion is not a qualifier, or disqualifier, for president (in legal terms), it is something to consider. So, we have the question of Romney as a Mormon and should the president be considered “pastor in chief.” Then, there is the discussion of Paul Ryan’s…

  • Politics, Messes, Blindness, and Such Stuff

    My friend, Joel Watts, is always trying to “out” me as a liberal. I love his effort. It’s futile, but it’s noble. I am a fiercely political creature.

No wonder the ordinary, hard-working American taxpayer is offended by the…

As I listened to Senator McCain’s incredible concession speech, and then Senator Obama’s incredibly impressive victory speech, I sensed something in my heart from the Lord. Over…

  • It was a privilege to vote in this election. What a great time to be voting, regardless of the outcome for president. Our state senate race in Minnesota was far more heated and close, so it will interesting to watch the returns tonight. (I’m a political junkie. I don’t suffer from it. I enjoy it.) Rom. 13:1ff is an injunction…
