A Pawn’s Rebellion

I’ve always liked chess.
Can’t say I ever totally mastered it, but I do know that it’s a battle of minds and wills and strategies, and that it doesn’t REALLY get going until some disposable pawns are taken out like so much cannon fodder.
I believe that many online political activists have been reduced to pawns; manipulated, sacrificed, and used [...]

Signs of the Times

Sometimes we can become so obsessed with politics, especially if you’re a junkie like me, that lots of other news slips by unnoticed. News that really should be critically important, especially to those who are spiritually sensitive.
We all should know that oil reached another record high of 115 dollars a barrel today, but do we [...]

The Advocate

I am currently experiencing just a shadow of what Jesus probably feels when He stands before the Father’s throne to advocate on our behalf.
I have been mentoring a student teacher at work. She has really invested her energies, time and passion into embracing and enhancing the spirit of our school. She is a wonderfully creative teacher, participates in extra [...]

Contagious Christianity

“A Christian, an atheist, a lesbian and a New Ager walk into a restaurant.”
Sounds like the start of a really bad joke right?
Nope, that was the reality of my lunch date today with fellow teachers in our ‘transition time’ before heading out to some professional development workshops.
The funny thing is when we walked through the door to [...]

Huck PAC is Born!!

It’s like Christmas morning in April…and on tax day no less, but FINALLY Mike Huckabee is back as the visible face and leader of the conservative movement that took the nation by storm during the GOP primaries.
We have all felt this election season, as conservatives, and as social conservatives in particular,  the deep sense of disconnect [...]

Back from the Matrix

I like to think of ‘The Matrix,’ as that reality that most Americans are living in, where you have no idea of what’s going on in politics, because you’re too busy at work and at play to watch cable news or spend all day in the blogosphere, and you don’t care enough for it to matter [...]

Seeing the big picture

I’m one of those annoying people who have to know the intended outcome of something before I start working on it. I have to have a goal, to be able to visualize the goal line.
I don’t really understand how folks can be comfortable starting something, not knowing what it is they want to have accomplished [...]

Their Eyes Were Watching God

I think the title of this post is also the title of a book, although I haven’t read it. It just seemed to fit with the thoughts running though my mind.
If you don’t think people are watching and judging you.. and God by your actions, just make a mistake.
You’ll find out right quickly just how many [...]

Amazing Love

Sometimes the sensitivity of God’s Holy Spirit brings me to tears.
When you are blessed to have a communion with God that enables you to recognize the nudges here and there that  He uses to get your attention, it can be amazing.
After a good walloping of conviction from the sermon yesterday, I was in the mood today to be serious [...]
