“I believe that marriage is the union between a man and a woman. For me as a Christian, it is also a sacred union, you know? God is in the mix.” With those words Chick-fil-A became embroiled in a recent firestorm, when the mainstream media declared the company’s president’s views on marriage to be hateful […]
There are times as a father when your son can just plain make you proud. I look back on some of those times now, as my oldest son Harry embarks on the next part of his scouting journey, which I hope and pray will one day bring him to the rank of Eagle Scout. The […]
I’ve often shared the story of my daughter, Julia. My little princess is a beautiful girl who loves music, cookies, the ocean, and summer breezes. She is nine-years-old and is just now learning to walk. Small little Frankenstein-like steps, but steps nonetheless. We still use Julia’s wheelchair to take her around, but we sure hope […]

The visit of one of the not-so-greatest shows on earth follows the killing of a 17-year-old man named Trayvon Martin, who was shot dead by George Zimmerman a little over a month ago. The fact that Zimmerman killed Martin is […]
Mitt Romney’s minister of information appeared on CNN the other day and made a big faux pas. He accidentally inadvertently told the truth. And when a senior campaign strategist, adviser and confidante blurts out the truth it really makes headlines. It attracts even more attention when a beloved child’s toy is mentioned. Yes indeed, the […]
The Michigan Republican primary is tomorrow and the race continues to evolve. For the past month, former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum has been leading former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney. In fact, at times, Santorum’s lead has been well in to the double digits. But for the past week or so, the Romney attack machine, which […]
The last few days have provided an interesting look into the mindset of many Americans.
