Huckabee’s Last Stand…in Faith

everfaith

It’s almost spring in Texas! The grass is getting green around the edges of sidewalks and houses, trees and shrubs are beginning to bloom, and tulips are popping up all over the place. On Saturday the weather was so warm we needed sunscreen to be outdoors! But this is, after all, Texas, and that means that nothing is predictable about the weather. If you don’t like it, wait a minute. It’ll change. And that’s what happened to us last night. After a very warm weekend, Monday began with a boom as severe storms swept through the region, leaving behind downed … Continue reading Huckabee’s Last Stand…in Faith

Why This Texan Voted for Huckabee, and others will too!

everfaith

The Texas and Ohio primaries are coming up this Tuesday. The Goliath News Media and conservative pundits have all but pushed Mike Huckabee aside in the face of Senator McCain’s accumulation of delegates and poll numbers. What they discount, however, is the rural vote. Huckabee took the south on Super Tuesday, primarily in rural areas. The big cities went for McCain (why, I don’t know), but the common-sense folks of rural America recognize something genuine, fresh, and new in Mike Huckabee. He is untainted by Washington politics. He does not have a Keating Five scandal in his past. He is … Continue reading Why This Texan Voted for Huckabee, and others will too!

Huckabee Calls for a Texas Debate

everfaith

Governor Mike Huckabee is creeping up on Senator John McCain in the polls!! The momentum is his for the taking. He has challenged Senator McCain to a debate prior to the March 4th primary, and 10,000 voters have signed their name to his petition. What about it, Senator McCain? Can we please have a coherent conversation between the two of you about the issues? If you’d like to see a debate between McCain and Huckabee, sign the letter here. Debating is a form of persuasion that has been around a very long time. One of the strongest Biblical debaters was … Continue reading Huckabee Calls for a Texas Debate

Why Texans Love Huckabee

everfaith

Yup, Huckabee can win Texas. Texans don’t much like other folks telling them who to vote for. In 1976, when the Republican elite were pushing Gerald Ford, guess who won Texas? Nope, it wasn’t Ford. An unknown underdog named Ronald Reagan swept Texas clean…and then, four years later, he swept the nation clean. Don’t count out the power of miracles. As Mike Huckabee says, he “majored in miracles,” not math. It’s true that he cannot mathematically get enough delegates to win the nomination outright….but…and it’s a huge but…Huckabee can stop McCain in his tracks, forcing a brokered convention. Then he’ll … Continue reading Why Texans Love Huckabee

“Who Did It?”

everfaith

“Who did it?” Those were my dad’s famous words every time my brother or I got ourselves into a mess.  It was his way of forcing us to fess up and take responsibility for our actions, whether they were intentional or accidents.  I am so grateful for his and for my mom’s leadership in this because it shaped me into the person I am today. Unfortunately, many in our American culture don’t ascribe to the same philosophy.  When bad things happen, it’s somebody else’s fault.  I saw this over and over when I taught in both public and private schools.  … Continue reading “Who Did It?”
