The dip today on Wall Street was -777… I bet there are some people who think this is a sign from God. I wonder what the sign is… that Wall Street is evil and needs to be put into place… that too many Christians were getting greedy… that our Government is godless. Really… the possibilities [...]

I keep getting messages from people to pray for our presidential candidates. To pray that the right guy gets elected. To pray that whoever it is that God wants, be chosen by the voters.
These are the same people who send out e-mail telling me to vote for Mccain because Obama is horrible for [...]

The more I think about how I learned to navigate office politics, the more I go back to my experience at church.
If you want to learn how to navigate Shark filled waters, how to get your way seen by Execs, how to get ahead on the ladder and how to convince people they should agree [...]

I think that the men who wrote and signed the constitution not only knew a lot about what they wanted, but they knew even more [...]

Will write more about this thought when I’m at a computer. I’m thinking that the religious right, who say they love the constitution of the U.S. have missed the point entirely. I think the guys who wrote that the church and state should be separate knew a thing or two about what [...]

When I was a Christian I had a clear identity that was tied to a group. One that I held onto very tightly. It was easy in some ways because saying “I’m a Christian” generally gave a starting place.
Now when people ask about beliefs or philosophies I don’t have a solid answer. For [...]
