We’re all about that race

Last updated on: November 20, 2016 at 6:04 pm By Dave Griffey

Jonah Goldberg has too much fun poking holes in the modern racism of race obsession. I know it’s tough to avoid, since racism is real, a fact of history, and something that still hurts people today. Most dangerous ideas usually have some basis in fact. After all, some off the wall loony idea with no basis in anything real will likely get a few people, but not many, to listen. But since racism is real, is sin, is evil, it’s easy... Read more

Thank goodness Mrs. Trump wasn’t asking for a cake. Then it would have to be made. As it is, freedom continues to ring. It’s great living in a country where even business owners can express their approval or disapproval for the issues of the day. Read more

I couldn’t do this if I had to

If you tire of people asking questions

Last updated on: November 20, 2016 at 1:13 pm By Dave Griffey

Then don’t be a minister. Being in ministry means realizing there is no base standard that everyone has to achieve before being worthy of consideration. Some people are so advanced in their faith they’re asking for answers I never even knew existed. Others are still shocked do hear that Jesus died since they didn’t even know he was sick. The fact is, we are all in this together, trying to make the best sense out of these decades on... Read more

How about that. I guess if anything deserves to be in the Toy Hall of Fame, it’s that little game which seems to have cast a longer shadow over popular culture than its often derided fan base suggests. I never played it that much in school, being more a lover of history and historically centered activities. Plus, I was never much of a fantasy or sci-fi fan. My boys, however, born and raised during the high point of Pottermania and Jackson’s LoTR... Read more

Maybe hate did help elect Trump after all

Last updated on: November 19, 2016 at 12:02 pm By Dave Griffey

Attorney David French at The National Review explains. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not one who thinks that Christians in America are suffering as much as their counterparts in China or the Islamic world. Far from it. And yet, the trick is to not wait until it becomes that bad to care. Many are rightly shocked at the number of Evangelicals who threw standards out the window to support Trump. And yet, be careful. Don’t throw the baby out with... Read more

Thank goodness we’re putting politics into live theater

Last updated on: November 20, 2016 at 5:21 pm By Dave Griffey

I was afraid there would be a segment left in our culture where we might go and not hear politically charged tirades or partisan displays of protests. Whew. That was close. Hopefully someday all Americans will finally conform and think the way they are supposed to think, then we can get back to being a diverse and tolerant society. UPDATE: The same goes for pro-Trump rants at concerts. That’s the problem. One does it, another does it, and pretty soon... Read more

Why I love Steve Bannon

Last updated on: November 18, 2016 at 12:41 pm By Dave Griffey

Because I’m a Christian, that’s why. Let’s face it, I’ve spent a dozen years reading Christians – Catholics, too – remind us that the Christian response to ISIS is to love them, the Christian response to Al Qaeda is to love them, and the Christian response to Osama bin Laden is to love him. As Christians, we should love them as our neighbors, pray for them, forgive them and do good for them. I figure if we can do this... Read more
