Throwing it hard off the rim After an unexciting round of 16, the Elite Eight lived up to the hype and gave us some great games this weekend. Villanova’s last second win over Pitt was the highlight of the weekend. Four great teams in Detroit next weekend. I have UNC over Nova, UCONN over Mighigan […]

Cloning the Church

March 25, 2009

As a general rule, most Christians in this country are against the idea of genetic manipulation that leads to cloning. We recognize God’s role in creating and forming each of us as individuals and are very concerned when we use science to cross lines that shouldn’t be crossed. Mainly Christians are against cloning because we […]

Today is the perfect Midwestern spring day. It is just like I remember them. It is cloudy, there is always the threat of rain, the wind is blowing 30 mph, and although it is supposed to be in the 60′s today, you would be insane to wear short sleeves or shorts. Ahh, spring in Indiana, […]

Dancing Turtles I have to simply start with a shout out to Coach Gary Williams today. He really did an amazing job coaching the Terps this year. Reaching the ACC Semis and making the tournament definitely is a bit of overacheiving for a team that doesn’t play anyone over 6’7″ and only has one or […]

With all the talk of the new polls showing an increasing slide in the number of Americans who call themselves Christians, believe in God, or identify themselves as evangelicals, the question for us today is, “What does loyalty mean for Christians?” Not only are less people going to church, but those who are seem to […]

Here are some brief thoughts for a Monday…. I don’t think that Jimmy Fallon is going to last but at least he isn’t an embarrassment along the lines of Magic Johnson. Haven’t seen the Watchmen yet, definitely will, not sure how I feel about a 3 hour epic comic book movie. Anyone out there catch […]
