One Final Word
My dear friend Michele slipped into eternity on Wednesday, February 1. She was a remarkable woman who left a legacy of faith, determination, and love. For three years she courageously battled the ovarian cancer that eventually robbed her of her life. A few days before she died, one of her docto

The rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated
My husband told me that there are rumors that I've died. I'm happy to report that I'm still very much alive. My cancer has gone to stage four but we are controlling it with chemo, the cancer numbers are currently in the normal range. I've stopped blogging to concentrate on my daughters and writing a

An update and a prayer request
Several people have asked about Michele's condition, and have promised to pray for her. On her behalf, I thank you for that. I spoke with her a little while ago, and she asked that I come here and tell you what's going on, and to ask you to pray for her. She isn't able to post here herself right

Rest in peace, Internet Monk.
A man known in the cyber world as The Internet Monk, has died. Michael Spencer lost his battle with cancer tonight.
My prayers go out for his family and for all those who loved and will miss him. :(

The peace that passes all understanding, pt. 1
I'm coming out of my normal hiding place to make a few comments.
The internet is a strange place. It is often a wonderful place, a helpful place, a unifying place. But it is also alienating, cold, and is the perfect medium in which to depersonalize others.
Through it, I have seen people reach out

Although it’s true that leftists have taken over most of the news media and are attempting to force feed Obama to us, I’m not in love with Fox’s “fair and balanced.” What ever happened to “objective.” “Balanced” would imply that Satan (if there were such a being) deserves as much coverage as Jesus. See:

oh please…
first, i don’t expect olberman, moveon, or the dnc to be any more balanced than o’reilly, lgf, or the rnc.
second, gov. rendell is a top clinton supporter and he’s using the same line that her campaign has been for so long now that the press has scrutinized her but not obama. i doubt that his opinion is very objective, either. with fox news beating in the “hussein” middle name and the race issue against obama (which are toothless attacks that have nothing to do with the issues) it surely benefits clinton’s campaign.

I’ve generally held that a network which has to constantly assert that it is “fair and balanced” is a bit like those countries that claim to be democratic people’s republics.
It’s evidence they are none of the above.
And Ed Rendell isn’t exactly a non-partisan source for the reasons cited above.

Well, I’m already on the record as saying that no one can be objective or balanced because we bring our presuppositions into the mix whether we realize it our not.

Michelle, you’ve bought in to a postmodern moral relativism? Do you really think there are no degrees of objectivity and subjectivity, that there’s no difference between someone who really TRIES to be fair and balanced, taking her own biases into account as much as possible, and people like those at Fox News who deliberately distort, smear and vilify for political purposes and material gain under the guise of being fair and balanced?

Objective? Well, they do object to everything American. They object to religious freedom. They object to reproductive freedom. They object to gender equality. They object to racial equality. Objective? Only in that sense. They’re a mouthpiece for the GOP and White House. All they’re missing are the little emblems up in the corner, like the Lenin emblems Pravda used to sport.
