Taxes, Government and Christ

everfaith

I watched the debate on Fox News last night and was reminded that, like all people who walk on this earth, all those candidates are just people. Like you and me, they all make mistakes. As my dad would say, they all put their pants on one leg at a time. It’s helpful to remember that when you watch the debates and other events that showcase them. I wish they’d spend more time talking about how they’d solve problems than pointing fingers at each other’s mistakes, but that’s for a different post. Today I need to write about taxes and … Continue reading Taxes, Government and Christ

Huckabee’s Wisdom

everfaith

The more I listen to Mike Huckabee, the more convinced I am of his authenticity and of his wisdom. I have been concerned with the turn our nation has taken over the past several years. We appear to be on the edge of another recession. Morality has become a bad word in secular circles as people turn towards shades of gray in areas where all was once either right or wrong. An advice columnist in the Dallas Morning News wrote yesterday in answer to a question about why it is no longer shameful for people to live together before marriage: … Continue reading Huckabee’s Wisdom

If I lived in Iowa, I’d caucus for Huck

everfaith

Too bad the Texas primaries aren’t until March!  Huckabee often compares politics to being in a brutal sports arena.  And he’s right.  People of all walks of life get emotional and sometimes downright ugly when pushing for their candidate.  We are very fortunate that in our country, we don’t have riots or burn churches when a certain candidate doesn’t win an election.  I am so grateful for America…for the freedom to choose.  I once again urge you, whether you live in Iowa or New Hampshire or in one of the dozens of states whose primaries are in early February, get … Continue reading If I lived in Iowa, I’d caucus for Huck

This Homeschooler is still for Huckabee

everfaith

This post is a rebuttal to a 3-part post against Huckabee by SpunkyHomeschooler, another homeschooler. Before reading my discourse, you might want to read hers. It can be found here. A friend sent me the link to her site. I have only been homeschooling for one-and-a-half years. Before I had my daughter, I taught in a Texas public school for three years. I loved my students with every ounce of my being; teaching was an emotional roller coaster. They came from homes and backgrounds that I could not possibly relate to — 97 percent of the students in our school … Continue reading This Homeschooler is still for Huckabee

The Truth-o-Meter

everfaith

Some time ago I heard about CNN’s conservative guy Glenn Beck.  I watched him a couple of times and laughed.  I figured he was sort of like Bill O’Reilly’s counterpart.  I even bought his book, An Inconvenient Book, because I loved the name.  And while reading the book, I discovered that he is a Mormon. Way back in high school, I dated a guy who was a Mormon.  I’ll never forget the night he took me to a high school dance.  Rather than going out to dinner, his family turned their home into a fine dining establishment.  (We lived in … Continue reading The Truth-o-Meter
