pursuing holiness, following politics
And Bob Krumm smacks him around for it. But these days, violating that commandment is a feature, not a bug, to more than half the country.
The very word “entitlement” just feels greasy to me; that’s how much I hate it. And I’m having a hard time separating disgust against the attitude with disgust toward the people who feel it; a clear violation of Jesus’ greatest commandment – Matthew 22:36-40.
Interesting review of Eat, Pray, Love:

From WSJ, a probe to see whether Congress is misusing travel stipends:

I had to laugh when I read Henry’s post, Five Sites I Read Because I Disagree. That’s the same reason I read Henry’s site – we’re generally on the same page, faith-wise, but Henry offers thoughtful, cogent defenses of politics a good deal more liberal than my own. (Though he’s much closer to the center than I am.) Mind you, I still disagree. But as iron sharpens iron, so an opposing blogger sharpens another.
