Killing For God, Yon Writes
Michael Yon is a journalist travelling with American soldiers in Iraq. You should click here to read what he writes about the Muslims who are intentionally killing Iraqi children and using them as shields and doing it in the name of their false god. Jesus talked about men who would do evil and [...]
Lutheran Pastor Who Doesn’t Believe in God
Yep, you read that correctly. A Danish Lutheran pastor was under scrutiny by his ecclesiastical supervisors, apparently, for denying the afterlife and the resurrection. He is also quoted as saying that there is no “heavenly God.”
William Shakespeare said that not everything that glitters (he actually wrote “glisters”) is gold. Likewise, not everyone who calls himself [...]

God Bless Our Troops!
Today I saw a photo that made me cry. It was of an American soldier, Major Mark Bieger, holding and hugging a little dead Iraqi girl that the animals we are fighting murdered. A Muslim suicide bomber decided to attack our troops at the exact moment when about twenty children were crowding around them.
I have [...]
Did I Really Say That…?
The Gitmo prisoner who’d originally accused his captors of flushing the Koran in a toilet as a means of intimidation has now recanted. At least that’s what the Pentagon now says. I noticed that yesterday’s Pittsburgh Post-Gazette top front-page headline was about supposed FBI corroboration of the original claim. Today’s headline was about Bolton, but [...]
"Chronicles of Narnia" Movie Trailer
The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis are wonderful fantasy stories written for children, but enjoyable for adults as well. I loved reading them as a young person, but I think I’ve loved them even more sharing them with my son. We’ve read and re-read them together. Go to my Chronicles of Narnia Amazon.com link [...]
Bible Burners Can’t Complain
I’ve been hearing and reading certain dismayed braying over the alleged incident of U.S. interrogators in Guantanemo Bay flushing the Quran in a toilet.

Stuff You Should Look At
I’m not feeling like Mr. Creative today so I thought I’d just point you to some interesting stuff I’ve bumped into lately:
Two new Lutheran blogs on my blogroll. Incarnatus Est by Pr. Greg Alms. He’s new so not lots there yet, but he is posting some pretty insightful theology. And CyberStones by [...]
