What happened to Obama?

With few exceptions, President Barack Obama stands in opposition to everything I believe in. However, even during the height of the election cacophony, I generally respected Obama for his demeanor and intelligence. I thought he was able to articulate himself well and craft appealing ideas — even if the details of those ideas were disturbing. [...]

Obama: all eyes are on you

Dear Obama, Well, you made it. You have pulled off a pretty incredible feat. You have already earned your place in history, but in order to secure and build upon this amazing accomplishment, I have one piece of advice for you: Stay submitted. First of all, I am not in a position to judge your [...]

In defense of Rick Warren

14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. 16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in your own sight. 17 Repay no one evil for evil, but give [...]

“Plumbergate”

Now I’ve seen everything. *BANG* …thud. Feeling Plumber Fatigue, Media Turn on ‘Joe’ Remind me again why I follow political news? The mainstream media is insane. Now I hope McCain wins if for no other reason than to thumb his nose at these goons at every opportunity.

Angels and atheism

Angels seem to be beating atheism when it comes to popular belief in the U.S. Actually, not just angels, but hearing from God, witnessing miracles, being healed supernaturally, and other divine phenomenon. Frankly, this astounds me, considering what sort of rhetoric is being bandied about by the intelligentsia of our day. Apparently, the kind of [...]

McCain finally went for the nuclear option :)

A little inside political joke. John McCain’s pick for Vice President, Sarah Palin, delivered her acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention last night, and I watched the whole thing this morning. I think it’s safe to say Palin just lobbed a nuclear warhead into the Democrat’s camp, and it’s quite possible they won’t even [...]

An evolving perspective

I’ve been doing some intense thinking lately, which is why I haven’t posted in a little while. This intense thinking has led me to some intense answers, and rather than let my brain explode trying to hold it all in, I figured I’d unpack my inclinations a bit here on Finite Calls Infinite and start [...]

Is the revival over? No, it’s just now beginning

If you’ve never heard of the “Florida outpouring” or “Lakeland revival”, then you probably can skim though this post. Don’t skip it though, because there’s some good stuff at the end. If you have, then you may be feeling very confused, disappointed, lost, even betrayed right now. It started out so unassuming…another conference at a [...]

The lust for power is never satisfied

Adult material warning…this haunting essay by a former booker at an escort agency shows that the issue we’ve seen come to the forefront with the Spitzer scandal is far from isolated in our hallowed American institutions. Whether in Government or Wall Street, the ideals of honor, loyalty, and decency seem to be hard to find [...]

Duck Season, Wabbit Season, Huckabee Season

And if you know what that title is a reference of, good for you! I promised I’d refrain from too much politicking after posting this video, so please bear with me. I just thought I’d give some solid reasons why I’m a supporter of Mike Huckabee for President, and you may be surprised that despite [...]
