It’s been spring here (northwest Georgia) since the end of January but we had a little bit of snow over the weekend. Nothing like the 18″ back in 1993. Well, ready to Monday? Continue reading

Jesus Untangled: Crucifying our Politics to Pledge Allegiance to the Lamb by Keith Giles
Giles is an intelligent writer that has done his homework and presents his case well. He is right in saying that Americans have their politics wrapped up in their Christianity. There is no morally right political party and pinning all of your hopes and dreams on any party platform will leave Christian believers disappointed. Let’s begin by analyzing what he does a good job of in this book. Continue reading

With the Atlanta Falcons playing next week I will actually be interested in the game.
