I want to thank those in the gay community who are voting Yes on Prop 8. I know you are out there, thank you. Why would a homosexual agree that marriage should only be between a man and a woman? Tammy Bruce, a lesbian, pro-choice, feminist, gives logical reasons for supporting marriage as between a […]
Looking for more information to support Prop 8 without being called a right-wing fundamentalist religious bigot? Visit What Is Prop 8? Here is another piece by Greg Koukl found on Stand To Reason: “Marriage Is a Social Construction.†Gregory Koukl What is marriage? There are only two possible kinds of answers to this question: Either […]
I heard not one, but 2 people, on the same day, say: The only justification for Prop 8 is from the Bible. It’s a religious issue. To maintain separation of church and state, Prop 8 should not be supported. Prop 8 says – Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid and recognized […]
Written by Melinda: Senator Obama just said in the presidential debate that he wants to unite around common ground in preventing unwanted pregnancies. Frankly, I can never take that apparent olive branch seriously as long as the person offering it wants to expand federal funding of abortion, eliminate any existing restriction on abortion, and actually […]
California’s largest teacher’s union has given another $1 million to defeat a Nov. 4 ballot initiative that would ban same-sex marriage in the state. The contribution recorded Tuesday makes the California Teachers Association the largest institutional donor to the No on 8 campaign. CTA also gave $250,000 in August to Equality for All, a coalition […]
I work in the real estate and mortgage industry, and I agree with Ron Paul. It’s the artificial manipulation of the market that caused the current mortgage crisis. Note this: Homeowners with a bad loan are not innocent victims. Main Street doesn’t deserve bail out anymore than Wall Street. I had many homeowners asked me […]
We can’t have the cake and eat it too. Americans want to be prosperous, enjoy the luxuries of life, and complain to the energy company if their air conditioning is down for a few hours. But at the same time, they want to lower their energy usage. It just doesn’t work that way. A prime […]
While talking to the secretary at a school today, she said to me in passing, “I don’t want another 8 years of a Republican.” But who really is to blame? Gary Bauer wrote in his End of Day Report: In recent days, two Democrats have expressed regret that they did not take more seriously Republican […]
I hope more will see the reasons for Prop 8 as David Blankenhorn has. We need to protect our children. Excerpt of his editorial: I’m a liberal Democrat. And I do not favor same-sex marriage. Do those positions sound contradictory? To me, they fit together.Many seem to believe that marriage is simply a private love […]
There is a Chinese phrase with no English translation that I know of. My literal translation of the phrase is “diffused heart” or “scattered heart.” My mom used to say that to us when we don’t want to study when school started in September. “You have a ‘scattered heart’ after the long summer vacation.” Or […]
We look at others less fortunate, and we feel better about our own situation, don’t we? But how about when see those in better situations, do we feel dissatisfied about our own? If I had chosen to go to a different college, my life could be as good as theirs. If I go to a […]
This says it well: Lisa, Kathryn – I must say I didn’t love Rudy’s line: “How dare they question whether Sarah Palin has enough time for her children and the vice presidency? They would never say that about a man…” I understood the politics of it and liked the turnabout. But I do think that […]
A caller to Stand To Reason said that the only pro-life advocates she has heard are men. She insisted that since men cannot understand what it’s like to experience an unwanted pregnancy, it would be better if there were more women pro-life advocates. First, this caller needs to open her eyes. A simple Google search […]
I was listening to the late Adrian Rogers’ sermon in my car yesterday: “God did not give us spiritual gifts for our enjoyment. He gave them to us for our employment.” I’ve always known that our spiritual gifts for not for ourselves, but to serve others. But this time, it struck me how we don’t […]
Who would ever want to run for public office?? Palin’s children may be straight A students, or doing hours of volunteer work, but will the media write a front page story about that? If you advocate abstinence, and if some people do not follow your advice, does it mean your stand on abstinece is wrong […]
I found this site’s analysis very interesting. it gave me a little more confidence in McCain’s choice for running mate. Here are some excerpts from Adam Brickley’s posts : Sarah Palin is an anomaly in American politics. It’s not because she’s a woman, not because of her blue-collar background, and not because of her ability […]
I don’t get out much. The only time we go places is to meet up with friends and relatives. My cousin was here from Hong Kong, and I ate out more last week with my cousin than the last 6 months combined. We had crepes at the Farmer’s Market, sushi in Claremont, pasta at Cheesecake […]
*Waking up at 6:20AM instead of lazying around in bed till 10AM. *Packing ham and cheese sandwiches that my daughter doesn’t eat. *So happy to have my daughter home at 2:15pm. I loved the summer when she is home with me all day! *The little boy who waits in front of our house for the […]
Regret is wishing you took a different action, after you saw the results of your decision. I will always remember pushing a Christmas tree into our van. In a moment of carelessness, a branch from the tree ripped the felt on the ceiling of the van. It was a irreparable mistake. I regret not taking […]
“And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.” […]
