When I began this blog in 2001, I was appalled by President Bush's headlong rush to an illegal war (we were not in fact under attack). As time wore on and Bush began his assault on the Constitution and any people bold enough to criticize, I believed that "the republic is endangered more by actions of our own government than by those of any terrorist." With the election of a high-minded, compassionate, intelligent man like Barack Obama, my fears have ceased.

Higher93 It is unfortunate that the books of the Old Testament prophets have often been the least studied of all biblical writers. These were men of dedicated hearts, men who stood when the storms of dissent and criticism crashed everywhere about them, men who manifested courage and calm under pressure, and men who valued truth even above their own lives. They exhibited the characteristics needed by servants of God in every generation, and they serve as examples to those of us who live in an unbelieving world that we must not falter, we must not fail, and we must not surrender.
