Another case has arisen in which an adult homosexual has been removed from a leadership position in the BSA. As I watch the videos of the woman protesting and sincerely crying in sorrow and frustration, I am greatly moved. I can see her anguish and, as Bill Clinton once declared, I feel her pain. I know intimately what loss is. After my young son died in early 2011, I became even more acutely aware of pain and grief than I had ever been before – and I wasn’t exactly calloused before the experience. I almost want to hug and comfort the poor woman. Read the rest of the article »

I saw a post from a friend of a friend on Facebook who thought this little gem of a picture was somehow witty, or at least somewhat logical. I replied with the following: Read the rest of the article »

Once upon at time there was a tiny little sprocket in the pocket of a beautiful young woman. As time went on, the pocket grew, as did the sprocket within the pocket. Nine long months passed while the sprocket secretly grew. Read the rest of the article »

A friend of mine expressed that he was concerned about his young children questioning their Christian beliefs. One of his kids said something to the effect of, “What if all of this stuff about Jesus isn’t true?” He fears that they will be tormented by their doubts just as he is. Their upbringing is vastly different than his was – at least in matters of faith – and I suspect this is the source of his surprise that they have any doubts in the first place.

Readers, in case you did not know already, short of two hours after my last post my family experienced a tragedy far beyond my former definition of the word. Our two-and-three-quarter-year-son Elijah Stasche Eckhardt died in a drowning accident on February 26, 2011 just before 5:00 PM.
It has now been six months since that day, and life is going on. I choose to remember that we’re moving ahead not without him, but toward him. Some day soon we will all be together again at the feet of Jesus in the throne room of Heaven. I think perhaps Weeble’s might be the first face I see after entering the gates, and I hope he is the one who takes me to meet my Savior face-to-face.

One of my friends recently asked me why I had written that Bush II is a RINO, and he suggested that perhaps I should write a manifesto on what a Republican should be, just so everyone could sleep at night. He was concerned that there might be people to the right of Georgie. Although clearly no manifesto, my reply does go a bit toward defining what a true Republican should be, and below is part of that reply. Read the rest of the article »

Six years ago, I wrote a book called “Uncle Sam’s Plantation.” I wrote the book to tell my own story of what I saw living inside the welfare state and my own transformation out of it.
I said in that book that indeed there are two Americas. A poor America on socialism and a wealthy America on capitalism. Read the rest of the article »

Last night on the “reverend” Al Shapton’s show, a woman called in and said she doesn’t care who gets into the Supreme Court. It could be either a black man or a black woman. Why didn’t the good “reverend” call her a racist pig? Maybe because he’s on an all black network, which isn’t racist, either, come to think about it. Read the rest of the article »
