Introduction

I have considered creating an opinion blog for some time now. Although I didn't know it at the time, my blog's seed was planted several years ago when I sent out a politically oriented e-mail and alienated two friends as a result. I apologized, but to no effect. I have gradually come to realize that one may limit personal attacks by keeping silent and compromising one's values but one will never gain respect this way. More importantly, silence is not the way to help others (and I am primarily concerned about my children) who are in the process of developing their own political values.

God does love His children and He will help us find answers if we honestly seek for them. Honesty is the key. It is painful, it is raw, it is powerful. It will enable us to find truth.
