Zombifying a Generation

A.W. Tozer writes in The Knowledge of the Holy:

"Secularism, materialism, and the intrusive presence of things have put out the light in our souls and turned us into a generation of zombies. We cover our deep ignorance with words, but we are ashamed to wonder, we are afraid to whisper "mystery." 

The Wright Thing to Do

Obama's recent about-face regarding Daschle's appointment for the
Health and Human Services secretary is reminiscent of his turn with
his former pastor, the racist hate-monger Jeremiah Wright. Obama
defends and defends, even though he is well aware of the offensive
behavior, until the public fervor grows loud enough to disassociate
and then publicly condemn the individual. He will then have an
interview offering his mea culpa, then wait for his adorning crowd to
praise him for his honesty and bravery.

Obama is not honest or brave or responsible. He simply wants to look
good, and is willing to sell out those around him for political credit.

A few more times doing this, America may be the one telling Anderson
Cooper, "I screwed up."

Denny's Power Breakfast

You heard this about how folks lined up for hours just to get a free
breakfast at Denny's. I found this illuminating quotation from one of
the recipients of the Grand Slam breakfast:

"You couldn't beat it. I mean it was a beautiful, beautiful breakfast.
It was fit for a queen or a king," diner Annah Shoffner told CNN
affiliate WNCN-TV in Raleigh, North Carolina.

We all love free stuff, but to call a Denny's meal something for a
king is overstating it a little, no matter the economic climate.

Be Courageous, Mr. President

A powerful message to our president about "reproductive freedom" by John Piper. Are you listening, Obama? Women's rights start first with the right to be born.
