As is often the case, someone comes up with a new idea that is going to alter humanity and forever redirect our course for the good. The healthcare bill is an example of such a hope-filled new idea. However, the healthcare bill contains within it some very old ideas, too, such as the idea that... Continue Reading →
Principles and Power
I am an optimist. I know the outcome--that all things will work together for good for those who love the Lord. So, I am an optimist. Yet, I am not optimistic about Obamacare ever being overturned. I hope it is. I will support the repeal of this terribly invasive healthcare reform. I don't think it... Continue Reading →
Consider What Congress Is Saying
I'm not an anti-government fanatic, and neither are you probably. We understand that government has a role to play in our lives. Government is necessary for protecting us all and for maintaining order where sin might otherwise abound. That being said, this new Obamacare legislation is egregious. Just think about what it is going to... Continue Reading →
The Little Ones
A song by Phil Keaggy asks, "Who will speak up for the little ones, helpless and half-abandoned?" It seems that no Democrat in America will any longer.

In the article, Obama says that he would gladly have paid for his grandmother’s hip replacement himself; yet he found the decision for her to have a hip replacement troubling. He labeled the decision “a difficult moral... Continue Reading →
Your Healthcare
Everybody is talking about healthcare. I just wanted to share my personal conviction about the matter. I have been guilty in the past of complaining about doctors. Seems like whenever I go to the doctor, I spend a couple of hours waiting, spend a couple thousand dollars, get a couple of prescriptions, but still have... Continue Reading →
Hidden Victims of Obamacare
Socializing (or governmentalizing) healthcare is a bad idea. It's just simply bad. It undoes responsibility. It rewards slothfulness and punishes productivity (just listen to how doctors are now being vilified). The plan, as it stands presently, will also hurt lots of folks both financially and medically. This piece in the Wall Street Journal exposes some... Continue Reading →
