The “Deep State” conspiracy on the left is nothing new. It has its roots in some very old political history. Those who do not know their history are doomed to repeat it. What do you remember from your school history classes about the Byzantine Empire? Anything? If you’re of Greek extraction, you’re probably proud that
I want to share with you how to enjoy The Shack and still be a good Christian. Actually, I want to share with you how to enjoy almost any good work of fiction–and still be a good Christian. Honest Confession here: I read The Shack back in 2009, the year after it came out. It
Mind if I take a moment to brag on my daughter? Isn’t she a lovely young woman? She’s also talented, highly intelligent, a self-starter, a leader, a good student, a hard worker, a loyal friend, and–a wonderful, loving daughter!

I hope you’re ready to look forward to and embrace the fresh possibilities God has laid out before you! I’ve been wandering around (like I usually do at this time of year), muttering
Does Harry Potter romanticize boarding school? I feel that it’s only reasonable to write a response to Tilda Swinton’s assertions that ‘Harry Potter romanticizes boarding school and this is damaging to children.’ In an earlier life, I read the entire Harry Potter series and watched at least three of the movies (I preferred the books).
