A Blog Apart

This sounds like one of our old homeschool history books…

Recent events in India have started me thinking about the subject of organ selling. No one disputes that organ donation is a good thing. Well except for a few radicals and fringe groups. But I was curious concerning the reasoning on a ban of the sale of organs. It’s a subject, quite frankly, that I […]

There has been a debate that had sparked during the last election as to whether or not Christians and politics made for a tasty treat. I thought the issue had died (mostly because it had been buried under a mound of linklogs) but it has recently been revived by our very own Junior Pundit. […]

At any time, at any place, and from anybody, this question has resonated throughout history as important not only to the direction of a person, nation, race, or religion, but to the struggle inherent between the two major world views, secular and Christian.

Those who are concerned about the loss of privacy are focusing their attention on Bush as a president. Those who are concerned about our […]

I saw a short blog item today that got me thinking about the thin line between patriotism (or nationalism) and religion. Where does loyalty to country end and loyalty to God begin? Where do they mesh?
