The Woman at the Well
Today’s gospel reading is about you. And me.
If you were to create a list of the Bible’s best stories, the story of the Woman at the Well ranks high. You can find it in John 4:5.
The story is rich with symbolism. Every detail in the story has meaning …
The pornography of abortion
An entire group of human beings are on the verge of extinction. I’m talking Down Syndrome babies. Nine out of ten parents with a prenatal Downs diagnosis choose to abort their child.
Today is World Downs Syndrome Day. We honor our brothers and sisters, our nephews and nieces who are unique since their bodies possess an extra chromosome.
I am sympathetic to the challenges of raising a Downs child, having watched my nephew grow up …
MSNBC: Aren’t we past opposing Obamacare yet?
Facebook is mad at Obama’s NSA for using their data to spy on people.
Liberal Senator, Diane Feinstein, is mad because Obama’s NSA is spying on her, too.

I’m a white man, and I’m grateful for that.
For the record, it has nothing to do with racism. I admire and appreciate the significant contribution African-Americans have made to America. My family claims a black man living in South Africa as an unofficial family member.
As Dr. Martin Luther King encouraged us to do, I judge a person by the content of their character, not the color of their skin.

Liberal intolerance continues to flourish on college campuses
The latest victim of the Thought Police of the Left is the “Communicating Values” conference that Stanford University has disallowed to take place on their campus. They have labeled the content of the conference as “hate speech.”
What in the world could be so bad that the content is called hate speech? Were they advocating Nazism or a return of slavery? No … it was something much worse in the eyes of campus liberals …
