We have this huge political race down in America and it seems to me most Christians want to vote Republican - again. Meanwhile we take a look at either sides platforms and I have to admit - you take the good [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In a previous post, I mentioned my 5 year-old son&#8217;s experience with a nurse taking a blood sample, and it got me thinking about one of the concepts I&#8217;ve been applying in the raising of my boy that I&#8217;ve found to be quite effective. The general concept is to be honest and complete in explanations [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From a semi-recent posting on Very Important Stuff, I see that a Republican strategist, Christine O&#8217;Donnell, made a claim on The O&#8217;Reilly Factor that scientists were &#8220;cross-breeding humans and animals and coming up with mice with fully functioning human brains&#8221;.
The scary part isn&#8217;t that some random talking head on a political show misunderstands current scientific [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve been slack in posting, as you all well know. I mentioned in a previous post that I had been briefly hospitalized with pneumonia. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s Christmastime again, as if anyone who has been in a store since Halloween doesn&#8217;t realize it. Due to my recent rant about Advent, all my readers know that I&#8217;m prone to object loudly to things that are prone to disrupt my celebration of the birth of Jesus. You might think that if I work [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Steve Sensenig over at Theological Musings has written a neat little list of things that indicate if one is possibly misrepresenting God. Here&#8217;s a few of my favorites:


If you think that sickness, financial problems, hurricanes, broken bones, auto accidents, and terrorist attacks are all tools of God “to teach you something”, you might be misrepresenting [...]]]></description>

My apologies for not being around much to address all the various comments (even if I could) or post over the last few days; shortly after my immensely popular last post, I came down with a high fever and thus barely mustered the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Take a moment to review this painting (click for slightly larger version):


How does it strike you? Do you see it as an expression of Truth, or do you feel the artist was sorely mistaken? If you&#8217;re Christian, are you offended?  In my opinion, one&#8217;s opinion of this painting is a good litmus test of [...]]]></description>

Here&#8217;s a roundup of interesting links that I&#8217;d considered writing about, but they&#8217;re beginning to back up (I&#8217;ve currently got 21 firefox instances running on my computer, each one having 4-8 tabs open).
