My 10 year old was intrigued to hear that the office I work at has a problem with mice. She asked, “Are they white mice?” When I told they were brown mice and that the ladies in my office were very unhappy about them she asked “why would they hate wild mice?”
I explained […]
This may not be a realistic fix for stopping our spend-drunk government from bankrupting the nation, but I sure like this idea on the surface.
What if we went to a national flat tax and allowed people to choose the areas of concern where they want their tax funds allocated - (ie: infrastructure, defense, Medicare, etc). […]
An excerpt from Austin Hill’s 9/06/09 column:
Those of us who know, respect, and care about the unique history of this country, understand what makes America unique. In no small part, we are distinct within the broader context of world history, because there are no kings or queens in the United States; our President is one […]

On my drive back from GA today I felt like I got “schooled by the Holy Spirit” (again). Good for Him… painful for me. Potentially, more mental/spiritual adjustments for me to make —
In the light of Prov 3:5 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own […]
In light of Christ telling us to “Pick up our cross daily and follow Him.” And, to “Be of good cheer” because He has over come the world. Not to mention Paul’s admonition in Philippians 4 to “Be anxious for nothing…”
