A Liberal believes that America's Founding Documents are the US Constitution and Declaration of Independence. A few Liberals might add the state Constitutions from that time. Whatever limited number of documents they choose to acknowledge, liberals insist that these documents need to be interpreted. They might not mean what they "seem to" or "appear to" … Continue reading So What Are America’s Founding Documents?

I read the first book in this series and have been looking forward to the second. Yates has some wonderful characters. This story changes points of view several times since the Special Ops team is scattered around -- Babylon, Jerusalem, and locations in Russia. Matt's experiences should drive readers to prayer because his ordeal is … Continue reading Review of Pharmacia: Those Magic Arts: Revelation Special Ops, book 2 (Volume 2)

This composite image combines EIT images from three wavelengths (171Å, 195Å and 284Å) into one that reveals solar features unique to each wavelength. Since the EIT images come to us from the spacecraft in black and white, they are color coded for easy identification. For this image, the nearly simultaneous images from May 1998 were … Continue reading The Sun and Its Energy
Review of John Carter of Mars If you haven't watched this movie but plan to, keep in mind that Edgar Rice Burroughs is one of the "founding fathers" of modern fantasy and Sci Fi writing. His style is not as memorable as Tolkien or Verne or Wells, and it's been a long, long time … Continue reading Review of John Carter of Mars Movie
This book reminded me of Tamed by Sarah Witenhafer, especially in that neither of these books is just a thin rehash of the Modern Romantic Fantasy about a reclusive rich guy with a BIG secret. Multilayered characters are a huge plus for me, since I struggle to read fiction in modern settings. Pratola gave me … Continue reading Review of Descended: Jett by Dana Pratola
Nothing else seems to quench my thirst like a nice cool glass of water on a hot day. As we talk about purity, let me start with an illustration involving two bottles of water.

Movies about heroes and superheroes abound. Recently we've had Spiderman, The Fantastic Four, Iron Man, new Superman and Batman series, X-Men, and numerous animated offerings like The Incredibles, Megamind, and the live action Avengers. Apparently there is (or was) a TV series about a family that gains superpowers, "No Ordinary Family." There was a TV series called "Heroes," about people who had some kind of mutation giving them strange powers. There are … Continue reading Heroes and Superheroes
This was posted in an Author's Group I belong to by a member who has not had the best of relationships with Twitter, I admit. But as we struggle to use our time wisely to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ, to Edify believers, to promote a Christian Worldview, and to teach and to delight, … Continue reading Twitter You’re Fired! Or Are You?

I am a slave of God. We shy away from the concept, and understandably so, given the history of slavery here is the US. I am one, however, and proud to declare it. As a believer in Christ, I have been paid for by Jesus’ death as payment for my wrong doing. Thus, He owns … Continue reading A Slave of God Guest Post by Sophie Dawson

I look … Continue reading When a Man Suffers
Pastor George told us he was inspired to write this blog by ours, "Molon Laba, Come and Take Them.

Joana James is fast-becoming one of my favorite authors. I have read two of her fiction works and look forward to a third coming out soon. But then she had to go and write a devotional. I don't normally read devotionals because I'm already so spiritual I don't need them. Seriously, there are many devotionals … Continue reading Wisdom Bursts — a Review of “From Redemption to Maturity” by Joana James

This is the second book I have read by Joana James. While it's less perfect technically than Nightmare at Emerald High, it's still a very moving, powerful story about the power of God and the prayers of the faithful. Could anybody have more to overcome than Alana and Alyssa? You won't know unless you read … Continue reading What Will You Do to Save Your Sister? A Review of Alana & Alyssa’s Secret by Joana James
