As I'm away from my family...missing them deeply, I think about them nonstop. My wife Helen consumes my thoughts as I try and support my family with work that takes me here and far. I count every minute until I get home. I physically labor at my work and mentally work at strategizing how I will spend my time with Aiden my son. Planning, scheming, and praying is my internal work. My fire was

Douglas Wilson always has something interesting to say regarding ever changing/never changing political ethos. His recent post titled Political Kabuki is no different. Wilson writes of the inevitability of the military's don't ask don't tell policy on homosexuals. Though someday overturned don't ask don't tell will be applied to someone, he writes this: The issue before the house is not whether

THE MOHLER REVERB Al Mohler's recent post regarding pornography and it's current availability...very good post. I've been trudging my way through the most recent Family Research Council's Research Synthesis on the effects of pornography on marriages, individuals, families, and communities.

As a Christian I find it my joy to look out for those who find themselves victimized by evil aggressors. To be frank I couldn't, more so, wouldn't even want to stand up for victims if it wasn't for the decisive work of Christ in my life. Upon that truth I do everything possible to sound my pro-life trumpet to warn against men and woman who prey upon life. Well this evil has gone to a new level.

One of my favorite organizations I use to keep up on the current abortion propaganda is The National Abortion Federation, headed up by it's President and CEO Vicki Saporta. Her blog the "Saporta Report" is especially useful. There organization promotes newsletters, publications, and research regarding public policy and education under the guise of reproductive health.

In place of the Morning Sieve Posts I've been putting together some info regarding the sacredness of life. This Sunday is Sanctity of Life Sunday and I've often wondered if the Church really knows what they are up against. This issue is obviously one of the hottest on Christian's radar.

Most atheists when thinking about the existence of all things have to believe in an ordering of them (things/matter) apart from God. Some process must take place apart from intelligent design! In terms of governing themselves, Christopher Hitchens claims, in a recent debate hosted by Christianity Today, you practically have to be an atheist to be a communist, which I am in agreement.

Pastor Dad – Scriptural insights on fatherhood, by Mark Driscoll. A good one line description of the scope of Mark Driscoll’s Pastor Dad can be found in the first sentence of chapter 8 (pg.39) “To many Christians, the principles I have articulated may seem obvious, but they are nothing short of revolutionary in our day”. The book contains a preface, eight chapters, and a short autobiography
